Mold After Water Damage or Fire Damage in Prathertown, MD
Prathertown, MD, is a living historical community since descendants of the community’s founders, Harriet and Rezin Prather, still live on Prathertown and Wightman roads. It was established in 1883, 19 years after slavery was abolished in Maryland, earning it a place among the oldest African American communities within Montgomery County.
Most of this town comprises residential homes and wooded areas. Therefore, when your premises are inaccessible due to water intrusions or the ravages of a fire, you might have no idea where to head. A stroll to Milton M. Kaufmann Park can help you clear your head, and the wonderful views and playgrounds can keep you or your kids engaged. Alternatively, you can check out the Great Seneca Stream Valley Park.
You might associate mold proliferation only with water damage incidents, not fire damage. However, microbial growth issues are also highly likely in properties affected by fire incidents. One of the reasons to involve professionals like SERVPRO is to ensure one incident does not evolve, leading to severe secondary damage from microbial growth.
Factors Influencing Mold after Fire Damage
- Structural breaches
- Moisture remnants from firefighting
- Leakage from damaged pipes
Mold proliferation indicates sufficient moisture levels and organic food sources. Since most structural materials, including frames and panels, serve as a food source, moisture control is the main solution against mold development in the aftermath of fire or water damage. Where there is standing water, SERVPRO technicians rely on equipment such as wet vacs and water extractors to expedite moisture removal. We can also take steps such as drilling weep holes to drain trapped water from wall or ceiling cavities.
Other Essential Control Steps
- Dehumidification
- Ventilation
- Establishing drying chambers
For an institution like Living Grace Christian School or Destiny Church, vacating it for an extensive period to create room for repairs may not be the ideal approach. Handy solutions like portable storage units, roof tarps, and advanced equipment that expedite the process or minimize inconveniences are essential.
SERVPRO has the expertise, equipment, and other resources to address mold and others sources of secondary deterioration after fire or water incidents.
Services We Provide
What our Prathertown
customers are saying
We discovered our basement was flooded, and within an hour or so SERVPRO was in our home, assessing the damage, doing everything that could possibly be done to minimize further damage. To say the response time was quick would be a complete understatement. To say service was great would also fail to do them justice. They were utterly amazing. They eased all of our fears, helped us work through what’s going to happen and truly went above and beyond. No corners were cut, and the team was exceptional with communicating everything to us! I will never use another company, and can’t thank SERVPRO enough. Their equipment has been running all night to dry everything out, and within 18 hours from our original call, it’s already a completely different basement! Highly highly recommend!
SERVPRO of Frederick County acted quickly when our local YMCA flooded for the second time in 2 years. We had an emergency plan in place (provided by SERVPRO of Frederick County), which helped our staff to respond quickly. Thank you to SERVPRO for getting us back in business.
I am very satisfied with Sara's work team. They were very professional.
DJ was great to work with. Appreciated his professionalism and knowledge.
2nd time I used SERVPRO for cleanup. Awesome job!
Great Guys-Very Knowledgeable-would certainly call again if needed!
