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.

Services We Provide
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 were very impressed and happy with all of your teams work. Our insurance inspector was also thrilled with your work. Thank you.
Stellar experience! BJ and Tyler were knowledgeable and friendly- they answered all of my questions and were helpful every step of the way. They put my mind at ease as soon as they came in. I knew the damage to my home would be handled correctly. I can’t say enough about my good experience. Thanks again, guys!
The SERVPRO team of Jeremy and Cameron was courteous, professional and efficient. I am satisfied with the service received.
I can not say enough good things about this company. A couple times each year my company uses their services. In all of my experiences I am able to make 1 phone call and SERVPRO handles everything from that point on till I need to pay them.
The service I always receive is 2nd to none and as effortless as possible for me. These guys take care of my customers when called upon and make my company look good at the same time.
Lynzie introduced me to SERVPRO in 2022, she stopped in and left some information about SERVPRO and the services they provide.
Shortly thereafter Lynzie followed up with a phone call and set an appointment to come in and meet to further discuss the services that can be provided if needed.
Lynzie set us up with an app on our phones that we have entered all the important contacts and other important information we would need in the event there was an emergency at the school.
Lynzie was very knowledgeable of the services that are offered by SERVPRO and was also very professional and personable at all times whether we met in person or spoke on the phone.
I would highly recommend SERVPRO to other businesses.
The service technician was very professional. We had requested that he evaluate for possible mold and recommend what service might be needed. He explained that no service for mold removal was needed as no mold was present. He suggested measures we could take to correct appearance.
Thanks for the honest service!!
The team was professional and helpful.
The on-site personnel did an awesome job.
I had water damage come through my home the sales man and stabilization team was here within a day. And restoration began within the same week. Very fast, helpful and resourceful. I have medical issues and Shawn T. noticed immediately and came to check up on me. Zoe and the rest of the crew came for the mitigation work. Zoe stood out and had many conversations with me and my husband. We needed removal of gym equipment. She came on her day off to get it removed from our basement and out of my way! I’m forever grateful for all the company has done while we worked with them!
