We Know How to Handle Careful Mold Remediation
Several issues can arise from a mold problem in your bathroom, kitchen, basement, and other areas of your home. Mold comes in many forms and only needs the right environment to thrive and colonize – moisture and organic materials to feed and grow. All it takes is a slight increase in humidity, and it can kickstart the mold growth process. Some problems that may occur once microbial spores multiply include:
- Severe structural damage
- Permanent damage to furnishings and contents
- Devaluation of your home
What if I Find Mold During a Renovation Project?
During a renovation to your Paramus property, you will repair or remodel any broken, damaged, or outdated building areas. Most mold types will be noteworthy and apparent as far as appearance. Just a few of the visible mold types include:
- Velvet-like mold grows in damp areas around leaking sinks, showers, and bathtubs.
- Black, pink, or brown mold may develop around furniture, wooden surfaces, and behind wallpaper.
- Gray, pink, orange, or white mold can sometimes be found around cooling coils, drain pans, window sealants, and humidifiers.
Did You Know There Could Be Mold Development Throughout Your HVAC System?
It is no secret that mold spores detach and move through the air that we breathe to find new materials to thrive on. It is essential to call for professional mold remediation if you suspect it has infiltrated your HVAC system. Any trapped moisture in your air ducts can become a problem during the spring and summer months as cool air moves through. In just a couple of days, spores can accumulate and spread throughout the rest of the system.
When you call in SERVPRO to help with mold cleanup efforts, we will:
- Suit up in a full set of personal protective equipment (PPE), including hazmat suits, boots, gloves, goggles, and respirators.
- Turn off your HVAC system to keep the mold spores from blowing around your home.
- Identify all areas where mold is present, ensuring everything gets thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and deodorized with the help of EPA-registered disinfectants and antimicrobials. This may include cleaning air vents, handling mold that may have developed in your insulation, and looking at areas where mold could be hiding.
- Our IICRC-certified technicians also ensure the cause of the mold growth gets addressed, whether it is a slow leak in your plumbing, a faulty tub or shower, or poor ventilation in a bathroom, laundry room, etc.
For areas where materials are deemed unsalvageable, our team performs controlled demolition to remove the mold damage to make everything “Like it never even happened.”
