Service Areas
Have a Mold Problem?
One of the alarming aspects of mold and microbial development is that colonies can exist and spread without a homeowner noticing. There are areas of your house that you do not consistently inspect and visit, such as your crawlspace or an unfinished attic. Once physical signs of mold growth reach more heavily trafficked areas of your property, the colonies have become a substantial threat that requires multiple types of remediation and removal strategies to resolve.
Remediation Strategies for Colony Removal
Eliminating mold and microbial threats from a damaged property begins with a thorough inspection of the grounds to determine the organisms' most likely locations. Removing moisture and humidity from the environment around these work zones can start to starve out the colony while more direct remediation approaches get underway to eliminate these threats altogether. Mold removal that our SERVPRO team completes only fixates on active threats and not naturally occurring spores in the environment and can be finished with multiple practices such as:
- Surface power sanding
- Abrasive media blasting
- Surface cleaning with antimicrobial products
- Controlled demolition
Build Back and Repairs for Fremont
Because we have a general contractor license #937457, we can provide a wealth of services and actions to further restore and recover your home or business after a mold loss. Controlled demolition might be necessary for remediation purposes. However, we can also help with permanent repairs to damaged roofs, structural elements, flooring, ceilings systems after leaks and replace portions of plumbing.
What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.

Residential Mold Removal
Mold can come from many sources, including on clothing, pets, through open doors and windows, and because of excessive moisture, often in the aftermath of water damage. When it enters your home and begins to cause mold problems, it’s in your best interest to have professional mold remediation performed to help ensure safety and effectiveness.
Our professionals are equipped to assess the mold and provide remediation services, using advanced equipment and techniques to help ensure its source is located, and the mold is remediated. Given its potential to cause allergens and irritants that may cause health effects, our services will help maintain your peace of mind while our professionals work to clean up the mold as quickly as possible.

Commercial Mold Remediation
Mold can enter your business in a variety of ways. Once spotted, it’s important you contact a cleanup and restoration company like SERVPRO as soon as possible. Given its ability to spread in 72 hours or less, and the possibility of allergens and irritants that may cause health effects as a result, time is of the essence when mold spreads in your business or commercial property.
We understand the urgency of returning your business to functioning condition, given that every hour of closed business is an hour of lost production and revenue. Take the necessary steps to help protect your customers, employees, and the health of your business by having our team assess and remediate any mold damage that may have grown in your commercial space.
What our
customers are saying
SERVPRO is the third company to come through our house promising to fix our recurring mold problem. However, they are the only one to live up to their promise. We are FINALLY living in a mold-free home.
My mother and I were looking for a service to help us dry and restore old files and photographs. An internet search suggested SERVPRO as an expert in water restoration, so we gave them a try. They were transparent about what they could help salvage and how and my mother is thrilled with the results.
We had a small fire at home which we took care of, but the smell of smoke was still there a month later. A friend suggested your services and I thought it was worth a try. In just a few days you succeeded where my scented candles, air fresheners and homemade solutions failed. Now my house smells wonderful again!
I am a hospital administrator and have no time for leisure these days, much less for house repairs. I first noticed a funky smell before discovering the mold. I turned my keys over to SERVPRO and the team worked while I was at the hospital. Every day they shared their progress and I was reassured that hiring them was the best choice I could have made.
I recently had knee surgery and can’t move around very well. When my kitchen sink leaked through my kitchen and into the dining room, I knew I needed help to dry the floors, walls and furniture. I am so glad I called the SERVPRO crew. Nothing like leaving things to the pros.
Time is money in my industry, so calling in the specialists was a no-brainer. Thank you SERVPRO for having my place up and running in no time at all!
An electric malfunction almost burned our house down, but we were lucky. We were also lucky that a friend recommended SERVPRO to restore our home. I know we wouldn’t have been able to do it on our own, and definitely not so quickly.
I have a gently-used children’s clothing store and some of my clothes got wet when a leak sprung next door. I called SERVPRO because I knew how to take care of my items but was worried about the wall. They came in and discovered excess humidity, but took care of it with special machines. Now I don’t need to worry about mold growing on my merchandise.
Storm water came into our attic where we store pictures, old school projects and other odds and ends. Aside from having to deal with the insulation issue, I wasn’t sure of the other stuff. Your team at SERVPRO helped me sort it all out and we saved most of it. Thank you!
