SERVPRO Explains Trinity Mold Remediation Process Step By Step
When mold growth spins out of control in your Trinity home, you are wise to seek out a reliable professional solution. Unsightly, damaging to structural materials and contributing to irritation and allergic reaction in susceptible individuals, remediation of microbial infestations require adherence to a carefully developed protocol to manage effectively. We have the know-how, products, and equipment to help.
Mold damage in your Trinity residence is not just an ordinary annoyance. A casual treatment with a topical bleach formulation and a follow up with a coat of paint is not a permanent solution. Mold growth is a sign that water incursion is an issue in your home, as the millions of mold spores that we encounter each day both indoors and out ordinarily cause no problems. Only when they encounter a source of water, even dampness or higher than average humidity, do they begin their life cycle. Addressing the moisture is crucial, as mold returns despite the most ardent removal efforts if water continues to fuel the spores.
When SERVPRO remediation crews approach a mold damage scenario, we follow the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) procedures. The team develops a plan to contain the moldy areas during the removal process, followed by treatment with EPA registered antimicrobials to inhibit regrowth.
Physical barriers, personal protective gear for our technicians, and innovative equipment such as negative pressure air scrubbers all have a part in the plan. The affected area is draped and the air inside filtered and exhausted so that the moldy debris does not invade other areas of your home. SERVPRO employees use scrapers and gentle abrasives such as soda blasting to separate the mold colonies from surfaces. If the hyphae (root-like structures) of the mold compromises the integrity of porous structures or possessions, we may determine to remove it as well as the fungi. All moldy debris requires bagging and disposal in concurrence with local hazardous waste codes.
Remediation is incomplete until we identify the water source and make plans to eliminate it. Far from being merely a mold damage issue, fixing the moisture problems ensures the protection of structural components from the progressive deterioration water causes beyond mold involvement. Routine checks for leaks, spills, appliance malfunctions, and reducing excessive humidity levels are mold growth deterrents as well as necessary checks to assure the longevity of all spaces in your home.
