Mold can be more than an inconvenience; it’s a serious health risk and structural threat to your property. When mold issues arise, you need a trusted, professional solution to handle them thoroughly. SERVPRO offers specialized mold remediation services that not only remove mold but address its root causes, ensuring your home remains a safe, clean environment.

• The Hidden Dangers of Mold
  Mold growth is often triggered by excess moisture and humidity, spreading quickly within 24-48 hours. Mold spores are microscopic and can infiltrate HVAC systems, walls, and even personal belongings. For sensitive groups—such as those with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems—mold exposure can lead to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and other health problems. SERVPRO’s expertise in mold remediation helps mitigate these risks and restore a healthy environment.

• SERVPRO’s Mold Remediation Process
  SERVPRO follows a thorough, science-based approach to mold remediation, ensuring complete removal and prevention of future growth.

  • Step 1: Mold Inspection and Damage Assessment
    Our team conducts an in-depth inspection to locate mold growth and assess the extent of moisture damage. This step allows us to develop a customized plan for your specific mold situation.

  • Step 2: Containment of Affected Areas
    Mold spores can spread easily, so containment is key. SERVPRO uses advanced containment procedures, including negative air chambers and physical barriers, to isolate affected areas and prevent further contamination.

  • Step 3: Air Filtration
    SERVPRO employs powerful HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers to remove mold spores from the air, capturing microscopic particles to improve indoor air quality and keep the environment safe.

  • Step 4: Mold Removal and Cleaning
    Using antifungal and antimicrobial treatments, SERVPRO removes mold colonies from affected surfaces and prevents further growth. For items like drywall or carpets that can’t be salvaged, we offer safe disposal to ensure a complete clean.

  • Step 5: Restoration and Prevention
    After the mold removal process, SERVPRO restores any areas damaged by mold. This can involve replacing drywall, installing new carpeting, and repairing structures to prevent future mold issues. We also offer advice on managing moisture levels to keep your home mold-free.
