With all the heavy rain and saturated ground, your home may be holding more moisture than you realize. Even if you don’t see standing water, damp drywall, insulation, carpeting, crawl spaces, and basements can quickly become the perfect environment for mold growth. Mold can begin growing in as little as 24\u201348 hours after water intrusion. The sooner moisture is removed, the better chance you have of preventing costly damage and protecting your family’s health. If your home has experienced a roof leak, basement seepage, sump pump failure, burst pipe, or storm damage, don’t wait for mold to spread. The KMB Mitigation Emergency Team provides professional moisture detection, water extraction, structural drying, mold remediation, and complete restoration services. We also work directly with your insurance company, helping simplify the claims process while restoring your home. Call us today to schedule your inspection.<\/p>\n
