What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
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.
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.

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
Trustworthy people! That was my major concern with calling someone into my home to handle the mold. Once I met everyone, I was totally comfortable!
I wanted you to please tell your supervisor that your crews were courteous, polite and helpful throughout the duration of our job. From the office staff to the people on site. Thank you for a good job.
Dear Tara,
I have been wanting to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did for us when XXXXX was sick. The doctors had us terrified about mold & you cleaned it for us. When you had your doubts, you referred us to an Industrial Hygienist to clear your work. I would never have known to call you. You made me feel comfortable bringing him home from the hospital sterile environment. That was a huge gift and I was not a nervous wreck.
Love and Thanks,
Judy
SERVPRO of Hockessin/Elsmere is a wonderful company with a team of compassionate and thorough employees. I was in need of a company that could help with our burst pipe in our celling. The team was efficient and they were able to identify another area getting ready to go that was missed as well. They first came out in the middle of the night and an additional crew came out in the morning. I greatly applaud their communication to identify additional hazards in my home.
We would like to say thank you to the three outstanding gentlemen who cleaned the stove and oven in our kitchen.
SERVPRO came out and gave me an estimate for mold in my basement. I was very concerned about it for the health of my children. But the estimator gave me an excellent price, much better than other quotes I had gotten, so it was easy to know who to use. My job got scheduled right away. The crew that came out was amazing and I was totally satisfied. I will definitely recommend this SERVPRO to my friends and family!
...I didn't know how to handle the mold in my basement or if I was safe. Thank you for explaining to me the whole process and making sure I was at ease about everything. I totally trusted your team with my house.
I was so impressed with your level of service. It is not often that you feel so taken care of in these situations but the fact that one of your employees followed up with me the next week really shows how seriously you take customer service.
Finding mold in your home can be alarming and concerning and once we called SERVPRO, it was handled right away. Your service was so quick which was great!
