Stop Mold Before It Starts
When water damage occurs, mold can follow if the affected areas aren’t dried and treated promptly. Mold spores thrive in damp environments, quickly spreading to carpets, walls, and even HVAC systems. At Thunder & Lightning Services, we focus on Mold Prevention After Water Damage, using proven strategies and state-of-the-art equipment to keep microbial growth at bay.
Immediate Moisture Control
The key to preventing mold growth is eliminating excess moisture. We begin by extracting standing water, then deploy high-powered fans and dehumidifiers to speed up the drying process. Our technicians use moisture meters to verify that every corner of the property reaches optimal dryness levels, reducing the chance of hidden moisture pockets that encourage mold.
Sanitization and Treatment
In water-damaged areas, bacteria and microorganisms can linger even after drying. We apply professional-grade antimicrobials to surfaces where mold is most likely to form—such as baseboards, drywall, and carpeting. These treatments act as a barrier, inhibiting spores from taking root and colonizing. If any existing mold is discovered, we can perform targeted remediation to ensure thorough removal.
Post-Damage Inspection
Once the drying and treatment process is complete, we conduct a final inspection to confirm that conditions are unfavorable for mold growth. If needed, we can recommend additional steps, like improving ventilation or installing dehumidifiers in particularly damp areas of your home or business.
