FIND THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT IS CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT FOR MOLD TO PROSPER, IN ORDER TO REMOVE MOLD.

A common error in treating mold growth is to try to fight it with bleach because people think of bleach as the cure for killing any germs. However, bleach does not kill mold. Bleach is not going to get rid of mold. It grows back if it is not treated as thoroughly with the proper treatments as are necessary to win the fight against mold. SERVPRO of Meriden, CT has many years of training and experience and all the resources needed to kill mold and keep it from growing back.
