Service Areas
Have a Mold Problem?
In the right conditions mold develops in as little as 18 hours, however, it does not become visible for 48 hours. Areas affected can range from a wet shower to the entire crawl space of a house. The focus on mold contamination has been amplified in recent years, partially because homes are being built closer together restricting air flow. Energy efficient homes, while they are convenient for homeowners, are not necessarily the best way to combat mold growth. Recent developments are not the only contributing factor to microbial growth, faulty construction and deteriorating infrastructure are common culprits. There is no guaranteed way to prevent mold from growing, but with the proper attention and quick response to a mischance, it can be alleviated and not result in disaster for the homeowner.
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
Family owned and operated company with knowledgeable and friendly staff! Nicole and her team clearly communicate throughout, making the process an easy and pleasant experience. Highly recommend!
Thank you for all your help with my rental house. You have a great staff!
I've used SERVPRO once before and always will!
SERVPRO staff went above and beyond in explaining the process. Wish we had called sooner!
While seeking help to clean up mold on the interior of a car, we discovered that every place we called, including the main SERVPRO number, do not perform such a service. However, even though SERVPRO does not normally provide Mold Remediation/Cleaning from vehicles, we contacted Matt and Nicole Betcher of SERVPRO of Gig Harbor/N. Tacoma and they chose to put the “norm” aside and took the time and energy to not merely provide answers to my questions over the phone, but set up an appointment and subsequently showed up at our residence to assess, evaluate and recommend proper clean up and remediation of the mold in the car.
From beginning to end, Matt and Nicole were not only very encouraging and respectful towards me, listening carefully to everything I was saying, but they also provided easily understood answers to all my questions regarding their policies and safety procedures, guiding me through the maze of the cleanup process, making it clearer to understand, not just to accomplish a successful cleanup, but also ensuring my safe health which is paramount to them both as well as to my wife and I. We value their respect of us, not putting us down or causing us to feel anything other than cared for, and we appreciate their honesty and candor with us every step of the way.
As someone who understands pride, integrity, honesty and good service as a Military Veteran and a former Police Officer, I most highly recommend Matt and Nicole Betcher and their company, SERVPRO of Gig Harbor/N. Tacoma, to anyone who has need of a professional, passionate, sincere and highly efficient team to help you with any clean up issues you may have in your home or office. They are great to work with and I will most definitely be utilizing their services again should they be required in the future.
We had a water damage as a result of an overflowed toilet in my master bathroom. Family of five, facing displacement, I was STRESSED.
I had no idea where to turn. My Insurance Company said SERVPRO was a good company. That’s where I met Dave and team! Within moments of placing the call, SERVPRO called me to quickly schedule a crew to clean up the water. No time was wasted, stopping the damage and making my home safe was the priority. The mitigation crew cleaned up the damage and sectioned off any area of potential harm. They were quick but very attentive and patient. They took the time to explain exactly what they there doing and WHY and what came next. Once that process was complete, they smoothly transitioned me into the repair portion of the job. From beginning to end the General Contractor, Dave McCormick, kept me well informed along the way and was able to do so without overwhelming me with needless details about the project. He was amazing at handling all the behind the scenes work that obviously goes into repairing a home requiring weeks of restoration without me feeling pressure or concern. I always felt like whatever was happening Dave had it covered. I’ve worked with a number of managers in my career and Dave simply excels at multi-tasking and flawless execution. His management style was also evident in the crew he dispatched as they were repeatedly kind, considerate and efficient. Many a times they went above and beyond.
I was extremely satisfied with my experience with SERVPRO. The end product was stunning and truly was "Like it never even happened." Great team, great work. Thanks for everything.
Colton was awesome!
Very awesome & polite team members! Positive experience.
Appreciate the camaraderie among the workers- so amazing to see these day. God bless you all!
