Lurking Behind the Wainscoting

This Resort on the Lake experienced a water loss from a pipe leak.  Originally, the maintenance crew thought only the carpet was wet.  They quickly went to work using their own carpet cleaning machines to extract the water and dry out the carpet.  Over the next several days an odor became apparent to all those who walked into the room.  That is when they realized there may be more to it than just some wet carpet.  The Professional Water Restoration Technicians at SERVPRO® of Lake Conroe, Magnolia & Cleveland found that not only was the carpet originally wet and the maintenance crew did a great job of extracting the water and saving the carpet, but the drywall had gotten wet as well.  It was very difficult to tell since the bottom half of the walls had a beautiful wainscoting.  Investigating further led the Technicians to find visible mold growth behind the wainscoting.  The resort was left only to imagine what the room would have looked like if they had waited any longer to call us!
