Safe Mold Colony Removal Practices for Montrose Homes

Safety is a top priority in every division of restoration and remediation that we perform for Montrose homes. With circumstances like mold growth, the spread of this organism can be alarming, and that is why we prioritize stopping the migration of the colony and containing the damaged area for more effective and efficient recovery. Doing things safely might require extra steps, but it is a necessary part of how our team functions.

Terms like mold removal for Montrose homes can be misleading, as practices can remove colonies but not entirely remove mold spores in a given area of your house. Neither of these practices can have success without containment. Using 6 mil plastic lay-flat poly sheeting sealing the perimeter of a work area, we can regulate the humidity, temperature, and mold spore concentration in the environment.

Cross-contamination of the damaged area to the rest of your home is a considerable concern with our SERVPRO technicians working on the job. Keeping our professionals working exclusively in the containment zone is not enough to prevent the spread of the organism. We have layers of personal protective equipment designed to prevent a transfer of active spores to the clothing, boots, or other materials on the bodies of our qualified Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT.)

As mold exposure can cause health effects, protecting our SERVPRO team as they work to remediate colonization in your home is vital. We offer full-coverage disposable jumpsuits with hoods that can keep a barrier between skin and spore. Gloves serve multiple purposes, from preventing cross-contamination to protecting our team when using stronger antimicrobial agents on lightly damaged surfaces.

Finally, full-face cartridge respirators complete the sealed appearance, leaving no skin exposed. The respirator can protect our team from inhaling damaging spores and volatile organic compounds that can lead to health effects.

No matter how widespread or devastating mold growth might appear once it gets discovered in your home, you can always count on the fast response and extensive education of our SERVPRO of Montrose / Telluride team. We have a safe and effective approach to protect your property and our team. Give us a call today at (970) 240-6970.
