Better Understanding Mold Damage

It can be alarming when you suspect mold is growing in your home. In many situations, the presence of mold can be destructive and overwhelming for those living with its effects. No matter how these conditions came about

What Many Believe About Mold

Harrisonburg mold damage events can be a concerning development, especially when you do not fully understand microbial growth and its impact on your residence. It is important to discredit bad information commonly found through search engine queries regarding how to proceed with mold remediation:

• Is Total Mold Removal Even Possible? - Many companies claim to remove mold completely, but this is not possible. Spores occur naturally in most environments. Remediation like SERVPRO completes targets threatening organisms growing on surfaces.
• When Does Mold Dissipate on its Own? - Mold does not go away naturally in most cases. Instead, direct action is needed to clean surfaces and prevent recurring moisture.
• Should You Consider DIY Cleaning? - Remediation is intricate and challenging for its many moving parts, so DIY cleaning is not efficient or productive.

Fast Response for Active Mold Damage

One advantage of SERVPRO for remediation and mold removal is our fast response in an emergency. We arrive with IICRC-certified AMRT-applied microbial remediation technicians. The suspicion of mold should be enough to contact experienced professionals like ours to inspect the property and determine the next steps if necessary. From the time we arrive, we have several objectives to help minimize the invasiveness of remediation and protect your property, including:

• Containing the Organism – Containment of mold spores is a physical construct and equipment that stops migrating organisms from finding new hosting materials.
• Cleaning Personal Belongings – Contents can also be impacted by moisture and mold, making surface cleaning a critical step in protecting personal belongings from harm.
• Evaluating Structural Elements – Inspecting structural elements hosting mold can be important to determine where demolition or repairs could be needed.
• Removing Water and Moisture – Moisture is the catalyst of mold development, so relative humidity and surface moisture must be addressed to prevent further colonization.

Residential Remediation Solutions

Choosing the right strategies for removing active colonies in your home is not universal and the same every time. Even when mold damage is discovered early, SERVPRO remediators must choose the preferred antimicrobial product for surface cleaning. Our professionals carefully evaluate the situation for the most efficient approaches.

Deodorization Solutions for Musty Smells

Another one of the many threats that linger after mold exposure in homes and businesses is the musty smell. Volatile organic compounds create an offensive odor that can help identify active colonies early but continue to impact a household. Cleaning can reduce the severity of these malodors, but air scrubbers, foggers, and hydroxyl machines have the most direct effect.
