Mold damage developed at this vacant Agoura house due to high heat and humidity due to the air conditioning system not operating. SERVPRO of Agoura / Calabasas /Hidden Hills would have to start this project with a demolition of the affected area. The drywall would need to be wrapped and disposed of properly.

Vacant buildings in the Agoura Hills area invite mold growth when the RH relative humidity is not maintained below 55-60%, even in California. The hyphae of the fungi have penetrated deep into the cardboard and gypsum of these walls requiring removal and discarding according to codes. Then SERVPRO techs can decontaminate the room.

Drop ceiling can restrict circulation and allow humidity to build up in the space allowing for mold colonies to flourish. The moisture source must be eliminated in Calabasas area homes or else even after a mold remediation service from SERVPRO, the problem can return.

The dampness caused by the slow drip of the water heater led to mold on the porous drywall panels. SERVPRO techs can remove the non-salvageable material, and spray an antifungal product to suppress remaining mold spores from proliferating into new patches in this Agoura property.

The black mold infested this wall, and several other rooms, in this abandoned home in Agoura. SERVPRO team member closed off the affected rooms to prevent mold spores from increasing the already significantly damaged structure. The removal of the drywall was the first step in the mold remediation service.

If water is allowed to linger and there is poor ventilation in a bathroom, mold growth will be the outcome. This patch can be cleaned, an antifungal agent applied, and all is well. But the corrections should be made to prevent future problems.
