SERVPRO of Burlington/Middlebury | Damage Restoration & Air Duct Cleaning in South Burlington, VT

Mold typically develops within 24-48 hours after water intrusion from sources like a roof leak or an overflowing HVAC condensate pan. If moisture isn't fully extracted and the area isn't properly dried, mold spores can thrive in hidden spots like behind walls or under flooring. SERVPRO of Burlington/Middlebury uses industrial-grade drying equipment and moisture meters to ensure complete drying, preventing mold growth.

Common signs include a musty odor, visible discoloration on walls or ceilings, increased allergy symptoms among occupants, or warping of wood surfaces. After a leak from a roof or HVAC system, even if the water seems gone, trapped moisture can lead to mold. SERVPRO offers free inspections and uses thermal imaging to detect moisture pockets that could cause mold.

We start by addressing the water source and extracting standing water. Then, we dry the area using air movers and dehumidifiers. If mold is found, we contain the area to prevent spore spread, remove affected materials like drywall or carpet, and clean surfaces with antimicrobial treatments. Finally, we clean your air ducts to ensure no mold spores circulate through your HVAC system, restoring healthy indoor air.
