Have a Mold Problem?

Any home or commercial property can quickly become infested with mold if a source of water is present. Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48 hours. Since mold can produce allergens and irritants, you should call us to come out for a free inspection of your Ames area home or commercial business if you suspect you have a mold problem. Whatever you do, don't try and fix the problem yourself, as this can make it much worse. 

You can expect us to be honest about what does or does not need to be done about your situation. If mold is found, you can trust us to give you the best service in the industry. We are highly trained through the SERVPRO HeroReady Training Program and certified by the IICRC in applied microbial remediation.

What Is the Mold Remediation Process?


1.svg

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

We used Servpro for water, mold, and asbestos remediation. The team of Gage, Sebastian, and Joe was exceptional in every way. Everyday I received a text and/or a phone call to let me know when they were leaving the shop. All communication was friendly and professional. At least daily check-ins and walk through. They asked questions, communicated with the project manager, and always greeted us and said good bye. The work was exceptional and we had a lot of it. A basement tear out is not easy, but they were always positive. I would highly recommend them.

Tricia Giovacco Johnson

Brian Burkle was exceptional in handling our clean up. He and his team were quick to respond and diligent in all follow up activities.

Matt Loecke

Mr. Joe and MJ came to our location on short notice to clean a conference room’s carpet. Not only did they do a great job but were so polite, professional and friendly. I would welcome these two gentlemen back anytime.

Andrea Robertson

We woke up the morning of the 4th of July with some water in our basement after 9 or so inches had fallen the night before which caused a power outage and our sump pump to fail. We pulled up all flooring but needed heavy duty equipment to dry everything out quickly so we contacted Servpro of Ames. Gage was our tech, and he was awesome to work with. He was straightforward, explained exactly what needed to be done, and fielded our many questions with clear answers. We requested that Gage come back each day so we'd have consistency throughout the process, and Servpro was more than willing to accommodate that request. We even found out Gage had the day off but still put in the extra hours to help us out, which really speaks to his dedication and work ethic. We were very happy with the service we received from Gage and Servpro of Ames.

Very effecient and professional. MJ and Sebastian did excellent work. A credit to your team. Very happy with their work

Denise Bull

Dylan and Gage were wonderful to work with! They explained everything they were going to do before they did it. They carried a dehumidifier and big fans as well as pellets to my basement. Not only is my basement dry, but it smells normal before I got water in my basement! Thank you Dylan and Gage for your hard work, friendliness, and great attention to your work!

Kathleen K. O'Neill

After getting more than 5 inches of rain in about an hour, we ended up with water in our basement and had no idea where to start. Once Carrie became our main point of contact, everything went much more smoothly. She was easy to get ahold of, friendly, communicative, and always willing to answer any questions we had. Having someone so responsive during a stressful situation made a huge difference. Gage was our technician, and he was fantastic to work with. He was straightforward, explained exactly what needed to be done, and gave us clear instructions on what we could do to help our basement dry out as quickly as possible. We asked if we could have Gage come back each day so we'd have consistency throughout the process, and Servpro was more than willing to accommodate that request. We even found out Gage had the day off but still came in to put in the extra hours to help us out, which really speaks to his dedication and work ethic. No one wants to deal with water damage, but Carrie and Gage made the entire process much less overwhelming. Their professionalism, communication, and willingness to go above and beyond gave us confidence that everything was being handled the right way. We truly appreciate everything they did and would highly recommend Servpro of Ames to anyone dealing with water damage. Cydney
