While it may seem like a small, unsightly problem, it can cause structural damage and health problems for residents, such as respiratory and skin issues, and trigger allergies.

If you suspect your home has mold growth, immediately addressing the problem is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/zephyrhills-fl-puroclean-certified-restoration-specialists\/blog\/how-much-mold-removal-land-o-lakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mold removal<\/a> and remediation company to eliminate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/zephyrhills-fl-puroclean-certified-restoration-specialists\/blog\/how-to-prevent-mold-in-your-attic-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mold growth in your home<\/a>.

When our PuroClean technicians arrived, they conducted a thorough assessment and found a mold-damaged wall completely saturated. Our team then proceeded to investigate the source of the water damage. They discovered a cracked and leaky water pipe in the attic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"19245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/zephyrhills-fl-puroclean-certified-restoration-specialists-new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/910\/2022\/07\/FC88DFB4-6468-4468-BB25-549F104DBB6D-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19245\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"19244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/zephyrhills-fl-puroclean-certified-restoration-specialists-new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/910\/2022\/07\/71ED19AC-7EE5-40F8-8B17-3EB793F193F7-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19244\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"19246\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/zephyrhills-fl-puroclean-certified-restoration-specialists-new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/910\/2022\/07\/D1C7AB76-9840-4791-983A-C24FA79E80F7-1-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Mold restoration in Tampa, FL\" class=\"wp-image-19246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/zephyrhills-fl-puroclean-certified-restoration-specialists\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/910\/2022\/07\/D1C7AB76-9840-4791-983A-C24FA79E80F7-1-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/zephyrhills-fl-puroclean-certified-restoration-specialists\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/910\/2022\/07\/D1C7AB76-9840-4791-983A-C24FA79E80F7-1-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/zephyrhills-fl-puroclean-certified-restoration-specialists\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/910\/2022\/07\/D1C7AB76-9840-4791-983A-C24FA79E80F7-1-1.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The mold in the wall caused severe damage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we determined the water damage source, we set up a large containment around the work area to prevent mold from spreading throughout the home.
