Mold on the kitchen floor from a dishwasher leak.

Subfloor damage and mold discovered on this inspection of a dishwasher leak.
SERVPRO of Canton Mold Remediation and Restoration
Any home or business can quickly become infested with mold with the introduction of a water source, like a roof or plumbing leak. Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48-72 hours, and can produce allergens and irritants that have the potential to cause other health effects.
If you suspect that your home or business has a mold problem, SERVPRO of Canton Professionals can inspect and assess your property. If mold is found, they have the training, equipment, and expertise to handle the situation.
Understanding Mold
Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

Typically, hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are removed using our powerful pumps and vacuums during the water removal process. The SERVPRO of Canton Professionals start this process as soon as possible to minimize further damage and to help prevent mold growth.
Step 4 - Drying and Dehumidification
After the bulk of the water has been removed, SERVPRO of Canton Professionals use specialized equipment to target the water that’s harder to access. They use less intrusive, scientific drying methods to draw the remaining water and moisture from your property with air movers and dehumidifiers.
Step 5 - Cleaning and Sanitizing
Water damage also affects your belongings, like furniture, clothing, and personal items. SERVPRO of Canton Professionals can clean restorable items using a number of specialized cleaning techniques. They also sanitize with antimicrobial treatments and remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.
Step 6 - Restoration
The last step is restoring your home or business back to its pre-water damage condition. The restoration step can be relatively minor, such as replacing a few drywall panels, or could include major reconstruction, such as rebuilding entire rooms of a home or business.

SERVPRO of Canton Mold Remediation and Restoration
Any business can quickly become infested with mold with the introduction of a water source, like a roof or plumbing leak. Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48-72 hours, and can produce allergens and irritants that have the potential to cause other health effects.
If you suspect that your business has a mold problem, SERVPRO of Canton Professionals can inspect and assess your property. If mold is found, they have the training, equipment, and expertise to handle the situation.
Understanding Mold
Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
If you suspect Mold give us a call.

Drying and Dehumidification
After the water removal step, your floors and walls may look dry at first glance, but they are still wet to the touch. Most building materials, like drywall and wood, are porous and will retain significant water. The retained water will cause these materials to warp, swell, or break down and can also cause mold damage.
Dehumidification
SERVPRO of Canton Professionals will manipulate temperature and relative humidity to remove the remaining moisture. They use specialized equipment, including industrial air movers and dehumidifiers, to remove water retained by building materials and other hard-to-access moisture. They’ll carefully monitor the progress using moisture meters until the materials return to acceptable drying goals.

Every fire damage event is a little different, and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.
Step 1: Emergency Contact
The restoration process begins when you call the SERVPRO of Canton, which is staffed 24 hours a day. Our representative will ask a series of questions regarding the fire damage event. This will help us understand the extent of the damage to your property.
Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment
Our Professionals will carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.
Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

Step 7: Restoration
Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
Mold can develop anywhere even between the walls

Mold was spotted in the wall on one of our water damage jobs.
Mold is the four letter word you do not want to hear. Mold can be found in the smallest or even the largest areas of a home or business. It can be caused by lack of ventilation, usually in an attic or crawl space. Mold can also develop in areas that are prone to excess moisture, like the basement or bathroom areas of your home and business. Many times mold will develop in an area that had a water damage and was not properly mitigated. SERVPRO of Canton can handle all types of mold remediation. Our franchise has been remediating mold in homes and businesses for over 20 years. Call us if you suspect mold has developed in your home or place of business.

One of our Duct Cleaning Vendors on site at a home in Canton MI
Did you know that the HVAC industry advises that you have your heating and cooling ducts cleaned every 5-7 years? This is recommended not only for your home but for commercial buildings as well. As part of their service most reputable companies will take before and after photos. The difference you will see can be shocking! Did you also know, that during a smoke or fire damage the soot can travel, not only throughout the entire property but through the entire duct system as well? Here at SERVPRO of Canton we use an independent duct cleaning service as part of our restoration process. Once we have finished cleaning your home or business, the dust and debris that you have been breathing is removed by a truck mounted vacuum process. After the process has been completed you will then have the peace of mind that you are breathing the cleanest air possible. If you need a referral for a duct cleaning company in your area, we would be happy to help, please call SERVPRO of Canton at 1-800-714-5341.
Electric Range catches on Fire in the kitchen.
1/26/2021 (Permalink)
This electric range came on by itself and caused a lot of damage to the home.
Did you know that nationally, the leading cause of house fires are caused in the kitchen by cooking - this doesn't mean you stop cooking and eat out forever! It just means that there are steps you can take to prevent those cooking fires.
Top Tips for cooking safety:
1. Turn the handles of the pots/pans you are using toward the back of the stove.
If a small grease fire occurs, stay calm, turn the burner off and slide the lid over the pan.
2. Keep an eye on what you are cooking - don't walk away!
Setting a timer will help remind you that you have something cooking.
3. Keep kids at least three feet away from the stove, or any area where hot foods and drinks are being prepared or carried.
Create a "kid-free zone"
4. Make sure your smoke alarms are working
Change batteries twice a year - when you adjust your clocks for daylight savings time is a good reminder
