Mold Remediation And Restoration In Montrose

7/30/2021 (Permalink)

Mold is very dangerous for everyone living in the home. SERVPRO uses EPA-certified chemicals for all mold remediation services.

Why SERVPRO for Mold Damage Remediation

Inert mold spores are present in the air as a regular part of almost every structure in Montrose. They are no threat to people, property, and pets unless they contact a source of moisture. Then, the spores expand and actively seek out a food source. If left untreated, mold can cause hundreds and even thousands of dollars in remediation and repair costs.

To remediate mold damage in a Montrose home, SERVPRO follows guidelines established by the EPA. We clean and dry moldy materials, discard mold-infested items that we cannot clean, and dry non-infested items within 48 hours after arriving on the job site.

Mold Inspection

At each one, we send in a crew of trained technicians. They perform an initial inspection to determine the extent of the damage, and then the goal is to perform each guideline task in parallel with the others. This way, we can reduce the amount of time needed to complete remediation services, saving the customer money.

SERVPRO personnel clear the room with the most extensive mold growth first. We store non-infested property in an area of the home without active mold. Since mold only grows where there is enough moisture, we examine the property again. If it is damp or otherwise too wet, technicians set up air movers and exhaust fans to circulate warm air in the area. If this is too slow, they install a dehumidifier to draw moisture from the property and the surrounding air.

Moldy property is taken outside if weather permits and cleaned on-site. If the mold is exceptionally thick or the weather is adverse, work crew members bring it to our office warehouse and clean it there. As we did with the non-infested property, SERVPRO technicians dry the property with air movers, fans, and dehumidifiers if needed.

Mold Damage Remediation

As we empty each room, other crew members begin to clean structural property (walls, carpets, and ceilings, for example) or demolish and remove it for disposal. We remove every infested piece from the home and dispose of it according to EPA and state regulations.
