Musty smells and creeping stains across walls indicate mold has taken hold in your theater.

Mold Damage

The local theater scene depends on clever deception to keep things interesting. Unfortunately, the curtains and swags that keep audiences guessing can also hide the dampness that feeds mold damage. SERVPRO technicians seek out the hidden sources of water that support fungal growth in every corner of a performance venue.

When drama or comedy lovers line up to enjoy the show, mold damage can really take away from the Knoxville theater experience. Musty smells and creeping stains across walls indicate mold has taken hold in your theater. Managing this mold infestation requires the professional skills of our trained and experienced technicians. Because the area is large, there may be more than one source of water feeding the fungus. The organic materials the microbes can grow on are many and varied in the theater -- curtains, costumes, and sets are just a few of many items that can support mold colonies.

Ceilings are high in a theater, and the mold up near that leak in the roof may have been growing for some time, unseen because the areas are in darkness or covered. These difficulties will not deter SERVPRO crews. The training received by all our mold remediation specialists is through, a complete education in the ways mold spreads and grows. Our project managers will design a plan that finds, contains, and removes all active mold colonies, sometimes requiring that materials that cannot be cleaned be discarded. Any leaks in the roof, heating or cooling systems or plumbing must be repaired to curtail the growth of new microbial colonies. Our goal will be to bring the microbial activity down to an acceptable level, as it can never be completely eradicated.

Although that actual health consequences of mold growth for any particular individual cannot be determined without consultation with a healthcare professional, the public is concerned whenever mold is discovered in public places. Your entertainment space must be free of visible mold growth and odor. Cleaned and deodorized by our experts, your theater welcomes the local arts scene back, and your investment is protected.
