MOLD DAMAGE

8/16/2017 (Permalink)

In as little as 48 hours, mold can quickly become a problem in your home or business when there is a water intrusion, like a leaking water line or roof leak. Mold can cause health issues and can also cause significant damage to your property. Fortunately, our SERVPRO® Franchise Professionals have the training, protective gear and specialized equipment necessary to handle your mold problem.

Although every mold damage scenario is different requiring a unique solution, the general mold remediation process stays the same. The following steps illustrate a “typical” mold removal process:

• Call SERVPRO® of Stone Mountain/Clarkston at 770-496-1976 or 1-800-SERVPRO to begin the mold cleanup and restoration process.

Our professionals will ask questions to help determine the necessary equipment, resources and personnel needed.

• Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

Your property will be carefully inspected for signs of mold using various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.

• Mold Containment

Various containment procedures will be placed to prevent the spread of mold, like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area.

• Air Filtration

Special filtration equipment captures microscopic mold spores out of the air using air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of the mold spores.

• Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. Antifungal and antimicrobial treatment s will be used to eliminate mold colonies, but sold-infested porous materials may need to be removed and disposed.

• Cleaning Contents and Belongings

Our SERVPRO® Franchise Professionals will clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains and other restorable items affected by mold.

• Restoration

Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting and installing new carpet or it may entail major repairs such as reconstruction.
