Mold Can Ruin the Appearance and Structural Integrity of Area Residences

In many homes, mold starts as a small stain under a sink. Homeowners wipe it off with bleach, but that does not stop the source of the mold, embedded hyphae, or prevent more mold spores from growing and spreading.

Stopping the spread of mold damage in Monte Sereno may require a mold inspection followed by a plan to eliminate the active mold. While mold may cause health effects in some people, the threat is primarily to the home itself.

What Actions Does SERVPRO Take to Eliminate the Cross-Contamination of Mold?

Technicians establish containment to stop the mold from spreading to other parts of the home following IICRC guidelines:

• We block airflow to eliminate air duct contamination during remediation
• Physical containment includes sealing off contaminated rooms with plastic sheeting
• Establish “clean rooms” to store equipment, suits, and materials needed to remove mold

After establishing containment, technicians then wipe down all surfaces with antifungal cleaners to neutralize the mold. We usually set up an air scrubbers to capture any airborne particles. Other mold remediation techs find and dry the source of water to halt any further growth.
