SERVPRO Provides Certified Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians to Handle Remediation

When you realize there is mold in your Newington property, your worry might be whether you can defeat it, restoring the property to its preloss state. The main aspect that influences mold remediation outcomes is whether the person handling the process is fully informed. 

Although the available information on the subject is significant, the knowledge that helps with mold removal from Newington properties can be narrowed down to a few specific areas. Our SERVPRO technicians focus on these areas to ensure satisfactory outcomes.

Knowledge on these aspects when handling mold is crucial:

• What constitutes harmful exposure
• Natural mold growth tendencies
• Chemical usage in mold control

Contact with mold is inevitable during the remediation process, especially when cleaning residues and removing materials. Haphazard contact can be harmful since mold can cause health effects. Some of the risky actions include inhalation and skin contact. Our SERVPRO technicians use protective equipment to shield themselves from such exposure. We evaluate contamination levels to determine whether we need full gear, including full bodysuits and respirators, or limited PPE like rubber gloves. 

Understanding how mold grows is indispensable during mold remediation since it is the only way to prevent a recurrence. Mold spores are omnipresent but remain inactive until presented with the right conditions. The conditions include sufficient moisture and organic food sources. After cleaning residues and removing heavily infested materials, our SERVPRO technicians check whether there is an unresolved moisture issue such as condensation or leaks.

Since mold is a form of fungus, chemical usage can also help in limiting growth and killing spores. However, improper use of chemicals can fuel growth or fail to work. Cleaning moldy surfaces requires antimicrobial agents since they help inhibit growth or destroy microorganisms. Managing the moisture after the application is also necessary. That is why our SERVPRO technicians dehumidify all cleaned areas.
