The moral of this visual story is: water damage, whether it’s from leaking pipes, toilet overflows, burst water heaters, or flooding from storm damage, can cause a mold problem to your home or business if it’s not dried fast enough!

For the people who owned these properties in the Greater Philadelphia region, unnoticed or ignored water damage caused the mold problem. Sometimes it was neglect from landlords or tenants.  Sometimes it was due to a death in the family.
