Could a Hidden Water Leak be the Cause of the Mold Outbreak in my Springfield Home?

We restore mold damage 24 hours a day in Lane County.

Our local Springfield and East Lane County teams are leaders in mold damage restoration services in Springfield. Mold outbreaks are encouraged by excess moisture in an environment, so a hidden water leak can be a primary cause of a mold outbreak in a home. Water leaks often go unnoticed for extended periods, allowing moisture to accumulate in hidden or inaccessible areas such as behind walls, under flooring, or ceilings.

As the leak persists, moisture saturates porous materials like drywall, wood, or insulation, promoting mold spore germination and colonization. Mold can then proliferate rapidly, spreading across surfaces and releasing spores into the air.

Additionally, the presence of mold may exacerbate the issue, as it can deteriorate building materials and compromise the structural integrity of the building. Addressing hidden water leaks promptly is essential to preventing mold outbreaks and mitigating associated risks.

Regular inspection and maintenance of plumbing systems, roofing, and building envelopes can help detect and address leaks early, minimizing the potential for mold growth. Prompt remediation of mold outbreaks is crucial to restore indoor air quality.

We are trusted leaders in mold remediation services in Lane County.

Although we are better known for fire and water damage restoration services, our team in Springfield and East Lane County are trained and certified to mitigate and restore mold outbreaks in Springfield. Often a mold outbreak is a symptom of a water damage issue. We will inspect and locate the source of the excess moisture and correct the problem to discourage the mold from returning once the remediation process is complete. Part of the mold removal process involves mold containment and air filtration. Here is some information from our website describing these procedures:

Mold Containment

Our professionals use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. We may use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread of mold.

Air Filtration

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our Professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while mold remediation is in process.
