Here again, we have a picture of SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa's moisture meter reading high levels of moisture in the walls of a home. Our crews are trained in IICRC WRT to get your home dry to prevent this from happening to you. 

Moisture from a water damage can be spread quickly and be in places most homeowners think that a box fan alone will dry out. This is not always the case. Carpet water damage soaked into the drywall leading to mold from moisture that was not dried. 

There are times when SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa needs to pull up carpeting to make sure everything is dry. When this step is refused by businesses or homeowners, molding can occur and make the process extend longer. 

If your hot water heater bursts in the utility closet, extracting the water and getting it dry is your priority. However, many times homeowners do not thing to go beyond those two steps. This could lead to microbial growth.
