Getting The Steps In The Right Order To Remedy Mold Damage In Bellaire Beach

Mold Remediation

Mold is an unfortunate but unavoidable risk when one lives in a coastal city, especially in a humid state like Florida. Salty air might be good for the constitution, but too much damp and humidity are unfortunately not good for your home. Mold loves a wet environment, give it such an environment plus some organic material such as drywall or fabric to feed on, and you have a mold damage situation in the making.

SERVPRO understands that when it comes to mold damage remediation in your Bellaire Beach home, getting the steps in the right order is of paramount importance. The remediation process is a skilled task, which is why we train all our technicians to IICRC standards. You can rely on SERVPRO to provide the professional help you need when you need it.

The first step in mold remediation is an assessment. Our teams do not just rely on their eyes and noses to ascertain the extent of the fungi. We use moisture meters, penetrating moisture probes, and thermal hygrometers to accurately measure the humidity in the air and the dampness of walls and carpets.

The next thing is establishing containment. We set up containment to make sure the spores cannot spread from the contaminated area into the rest of your home. We use plastic sheeting to create a barrier. After containment is complete, we can introduce negative air machines to vent the contaminated air outside your home. We also set up decontamination areas to protect the rest of your house and make sure we do not carry mold from one place to another.

Now we are confident that the spores cannot travel, we can turn our minds to cleaning the visible colonies. Cleaning begins with HEPA vacuuming to remove loose mold. Next, we use a range of techniques such as wire brushing and damp wiping to clean the fungus from semi porous materials.

SERVPRO knows that getting the right steps in the correct order is important at every stage of the remediation process. For example, when cleaning loose mold, it is vital to clean from top to bottom, because spores tend to settle downwards.

The final stage is to dry out the affected area. We dry any salvageable soft materials and use dehumidifiers to lower the humidity of the room and discourage further growth. For help taking the right steps to remediate mold, call SERVPRO of Largo at (727) 586-0060 today.
