Church Shuts Down, Mold Arises

11/3/2020 (Permalink)

Earlier this year, one of our local Chapin, SC Churches made the decision to temporarily close their sanctuary for worship. They were still able to hold services virtually and outdoors, but their historically beautiful sanctuary was not seen by any member for several weeks. Because the HVAC system was turned off, we believe the air climate changed and allowed the growth of mold on several of the wooden pews. When the time came to re-open the sanctuary for the congregation, the mold was discovered. After a brief consultation our technicians set out to wipe down each pew with a SERVPRO Product that eliminates mold and prevents re-growth. Mold is not something we recommend cleaning on your own, it’s difficult to eliminate and if not treated properly can continue to grow, affecting an even larger area than before.

In such uncertain times, we know that the additional reassurance provided by our cleaning services helped many members in their decision to return to in-person worship.
