Damage Restoration Services in Lanham, MD | 247 Boardup Pro

Mold typically develops when moisture from water damage—like river floods, burst pipes, or heavy rain—is not dried within 24 to 48 hours. In Lanham, high humidity and damp basements can accelerate growth. Common signs include a musty smell, visible spots on walls, or worsening allergies. Our team uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden dampness and then dries and sanitizes affected areas to prevent mold.

Signs include bubbling or peeling paint, soft spots when pressed, or a persistent damp smell. If drywall has been wet for more than 48 hours, it often loses structural integrity and can harbor mold. We assess the extent of the damage—cutting out affected sections and drying the framing before installing new drywall. Our goal is to restore your walls safely without unnecessary replacement.

First, identify the source, such as poor drainage, cracks in the foundation, or a failed seal around the garage door. We stop the water entry, extract standing water, and use industrial dehumidifiers to dry the space. Then we seal cracks and recommend grading adjustments or a sump pump if needed. This prevents future water damage and mold growth, keeping your garage dry and functional.
