Mold Strikes From Bath Tub Leak in Jacksonville Townhome
11/6/2020 (Permalink)
Mold can often be the result of water leaks and is not always visible. In this photo, the mold problem was the result of a bathtub leak from above in this two story Jacksonville townhome. We at SERVPRO Fernandina Beach/Jacksonville NE have been responding to a lot of mold calls lately. Whether from water leaks or the humidity present in our North Florida climate, mold can become an issue.
Here are some tips you should know. If you do see visible mold in your home, do not disturb it. You can inadvertently spread the mold infestation throughout your home. When mold is disturbed, the mold can release microscopic mold spores that become airborne and can circulate inside your home.
What to Do:
- Stay out of affected areas.
- Turn off the HVAC system and fans.
- Contact SERVPRO of Fernandina Beach/Jacksonville Northeast for mold remediation services at 904.729.2401.
