Mold and Wallpaper

1/13/2021 (Permalink)

Are you flipping a house in the Baldwin County/Alabama Gulf Coast area? If you renovate homes often, do you find that a lot of older homes have wallpaper?

The wallpaper trend was very popular back in the day, and you may want to remove it for a more updated modern look. When removing old wallpaper, you may see "mold" behind it. This is due to the long term moisture that could be trapped behind the wallpaper and the sheetrock. This is more common in humid areas of the home such as a bathroom. Mold can begin to grow due to the area not being able to dry properly. 

If you find mold while renovating your home, give SERVPRO of Baldwin County a call at 251-928-9625. We are open 24/7 365 days!
