“Mold.” The very word strikes fear in the heart of any home or business owner. These ugly black spores have the ability to make your family or employees sick, cause structural damage, and necessitate costly repairs if not addressed immediately.

Complete containment

Mold removal is an exact science and requires a thorough approach. Even the smallest damp area can allow mold to reappear, and that’s the last thing you want to have happen. When you call SERVPRO of Lake Elsinore / Perris, you can count on a comprehensive mold removal process, including: 

  • Moisture containment
  • Air filtration using HEPA filters
  • Thorough cleaning and disinfecting 
  • Drying carpets and furniture
  • Repair of furniture or fixtures (if required) 

Time is of the essence 

If a water line broke under your house and soaked your living room carpet. You managed to dry out the carpet, so you should be out of the woods, right? Wrong. Mold typically takes 48 to 72 hours to take root, and once it does, it spreads rapidly. Be proactive, not reactive. Call SERVPRO of Lake Elsinore / Perris at 951-674-4006 immediately following a flood, sewage backup, or roof leak.
