Mold growth in your home is complicated to deal with. Contact SERVPRO for professional remediation and mitigation services.

Once You Notice Mold in Your Newington Home, Call SERVPRO Right Away to Begin Mold Remediation Services

At the first indicators of mold growth in your home, you should contact a professional to inspect for mold right away. Mold is a microbe that spreads rapidly - given the right environment, which calls for expert intervention to ensure best practices for removal. A colony begins as a tiny spore or hundreds of thousands of them that germinate quickly when the environment is moist and warm. Because mold can penetrate porous materials, it is better to have skilled technicians on the job as we have at SERVPRO. We can take the time necessary to look over your floors, ceilings, walls, wall cavities, and contents to ensure a complete assessment.

Why Do I Need SERVPRO for Remediation?

SERVPRO can come into your home to help with mold remediation in Newington so that you get the Certified SERVPRO Cleaned that you deserve. If you discover one or more of the following signs, it is time to give us a call:

• Greenish, gray, or black mold colony growth on your ceilings, walls, behind furnishings, etc.
• Dampness or condensation that keeps building can indicate that mold growth has begun or will not be far behind.
• Damp or musty odors that may indicate an infestation.

Are My Belongings Salvageable?

We have the training and skills required to help determine what should get discarded and what we can safely clean and sanitize.

• Some fabrics might be able to get washed using our specialized techniques.
• Dense or non-porous materials with surface-level issues can be easily cleaned.
• Materials like tiles, mortar, and synthetics often respond well to skilled restoration efforts.

For areas hard hit by a mold infestation, we may suggest demolition for replacement with new materials. We always work to restore rather than replace, so we take each surface into careful consideration before proceeding. Many home building materials, such as insulation and drywall, are relatively easy and inexpensive to replace.

SERVPRO of Newington/Central Hartford is the team to call when you want prompt, reliable mold remediation. To ask about our services or to dispatch a crew, call us at (860) 667-9191.
