SERVPRO of Tarpon uses the directives of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to manage mold damage.

Mold In Your Tarpon Area Business

Mold growth occurs as soon as 24 to 48 hours after water damage or high humidity settles into a commercial space. When weather, negligence, or accident causes a power outage, mold growth accelerates in a high-humidity area like Trinity. Our remediation team follows industry protocols to abate mold damage and help you meet local regulations pertaining to the presence of microbial growth.

Mold damage needs a sure and speedy resolution in your Trinity grocery store, as both employees and the public risk encountering the colonies of microbes. Despite the use of generators, some areas of your food market experience signs of mold growth as your air conditioning and dehumidifiers were not operating at optimum levels during post-storm electric shutdowns. Our mold remediation specialists not only have a proven approach to contain and remove evident mold, but they also work with you to correct the circumstances that encourage the microbial proliferation in the first place.

SERVPRO uses the directives of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to manage mold damage. Containment is key during the procedure, as you want to limit the spread of any mold within your store. We use high-efficiency negative pressure air scrubbers and physical barriers while our crews attack the mold growth, wearing personal protective gear. All mold and any porous material it infiltrates is removed and then discarded under local hazardous waste regulations. Affected areas receive treatment with effective antimicrobial products to prevent a mold resurgence. Your store remains open for business during the procedures unless the infestation is found throughout.

What We Do

We continuously monitor humidity levels while completing the remediation tasks. Expect SERVPRO of Tarpon project managers to explain the effect ambient humidity levels over 60 percent have on mold spores. Spores are always present but begin to divide and grow when mixed with moisture on a surface or from sticky, humid air.

Running AC and dehumidifiers should consistently reduce the air moisture levels to a range of 30 to 50 percent. This relatively dryer air usually does not contribute to mold growth. We position desiccant dehumidifiers to help your on-site HVAC system to normalize the humidity to the suggested levels. You may choose to upgrade your generators after a mold event to be certain humidity levels remain below 60 percent should another power outage occur.
