Have a Mold Problem?
Dealing with mold in your home might not seem as urgent as putting out a fire or dealing with water damage, but it's just as important. Mold is an invasive organism that can quickly spread throughout your home, causing all sorts of issues for you and your loved ones. Fortunately, our team at SERVPRO® is here to help.
Containment Strategies for Mold
Taking action early on can prevent mold spread. One of the most effective ways to do this is to first focus on containing the active spores. These tiny microbes can easily find their way into your home through openings like vents and returns of the HVAC system. That's why we use a combination of plastic sheeting and sealants to cover doorways and HVAC entrances to create a contained workspace.
Eliminating Mold Growth
As experienced remediation professionals, we have strategies to combat even the most stubborn mold colonization. From tried-and-true methods to cutting-edge techniques, we will work quickly to eliminate mold and mildew growth with:
- Surface cleaning with products
- Hand sanding and mechanical action
- Dry ice or media blasting
- Demolition
Comprehensive Post-Mold Service
We hold a general contractor license to complete all the necessary repairs and build-back services to help you get back to your everyday life. We understand how important it is for you to take the next recovery step fast, so we offer a one-stop-shop solution to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
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.
