Before and after photos of mold cleanup from a leather recliner

One of problems with water damage is that if it is not corrected quickly and properly, secondary damage can occur. Secondary damage is when items that are within the affected area of a water damage, but they are not in direct contact with the water. This can occur when the humidity in the area is not reduced to an appropriate level. High humidity in a room can will cause otherwise dry content to absorb that moisture (humidity) and can cause mold.

As can be seen in the picture, this recliner was in a water damage environment for quite a while. Although it was extremely moldy, we were able to properly clean it and restore it to preloss condition (probably even better than preloss condition. We also used our ATP tester and was able to show that not only was it clean, but it was "food grade clean"
