Mold in Rental Units

Don't let mold harm your tenants. SERVPRO of Burlington & Mt. Holly provides mold testing & mitigation for rental spaces.

Under common law, landlords are obligated to maintain their rental property in a habitable condition. This means the building must be safe to live in. If the rental space develops a mold infestation, the landlord may be liable for injury or damage sustained by the tenants due to the mold.

Not all mold is dangerous to our health. It takes an expert to know whether a particular mold is harmful or just annoying. That’s where we come in. We have the capability to determine the specific type of mold. Once the mold type is determined, we have the tools and chemicals to safely remove and mitigate the damage.

A smart landlord will try to prevent the conditions that lead to the growth of mold in the first place. This requires maintaining the structural integrity of the property, including the roof, plumbing, and windows. If preventative measures fail and mold damage occurs, SERVPRO of Burlington & Mt. Holly is here to help.
