In as little as 48 hours, mold growth can quickly become a problem in your home or business when there’s a water intrusion, such as a roof leak, leaking water line, or flooding situation.  In the Panhandle of Florida, extensive periods of rain, unexpected storms, and humidity can easily compound this issue.  Not only is mold growth unsightly in your home or business, it can cause health effects for you, your family and employees, as well as cause significant damage to the structure of your property. SERVPRO of Bay County has the training, expertise, protective gear, and specialized equipment necessary to handle your mold problem.
