We'll Check Your Commercial Property For Mold Growth

5/17/2023 (Permalink)

Mold growth is a result of the moisture that comes after water damage. Even a dripping pipe or excess humidity in your building encourages mold spores to multiply. You can spot mold due to its musty odors that can permeate your West End property just 48 hours after water damage. Because mold is repulsive and can aggravate allergies on top of springtime allergies, it is recommended that you get your property checked out for mold and stop any growth in its tracks. 

In What Ways Can SERVPRO Check Your West End Property For Signs Of Mold?

  • Once you contact us, our representative will ask questions about your mold situation so we know what equipment to bring. From there, we'll be on the scene at a moment's notice- that's our guarantee!
  • Upon arrival, we'll inspect your property for mold. Local and state laws require that you follow specific protocols depending on the size of your West End property. Regardless, we'll advise you based on your mold scenario throughout this process. 
  • Once our team understands the extent of mold on your property, we'll contain the spores through negative air chambers, isolating the contaminated areas and preventing mold from spreading throughout the property. 
  • Air filtration is another method we use to check for mold on your commercial property. This specialized equipment helps us capture microscopic mold spores from the air- from there, our air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums prevent mold from spreading while the mold remediation is underway. 
  • Immediately afterward, we'll remove all mold-infested materials from the vicinity. We will also use antimicrobial and antifungal treatments in areas with excess mold growth. 
  • Want to know what other content cleaning methods we use to remediate mold growth? Learn more about them here. We are also trained in odor removal and deodorization, so you won't have to worry about the musty smell much longer!
  • Mold restoration can begin only when all the above steps are complete. Depending on how your property has been affected by mold, restoration can involve minor repairs like replacing painting and drywall or significant restructuring of your entire West End commercial property.
