Reliable Newington Mold Remediation and Moisture Management Are Why SERVPRO Succeeds

Mold damage for Newington property owners can feel constant worry, mainly when diligent efforts to remove growing colonies and their distinctive musty odor fall short. Hiring professional remediators is not a luxury. It is a decision that protects your structure and contents, offering a sustainable outcome that is easier on both your pocketbook and peace of mind.

Why is SERVPRO an Excellent Choice for Property Owners Seeking Microbial Removal and Control?

Understanding how mold damage occurs in Newington is crucial to gaining a better resolution. The unpleasant and musty smell plus the dreaded sight of black or multi-colored fungal organisms spreading across surfaces frustrates property owners who have tried valiantly to curb the overgrowth. Our commitment to educating customers about the conditions that lead to outbreaks supports the reasons why SERVPRO delivers long-lasting microbial harm resolution:

• Spores always in the environment grow into full-fledged colonies when they absorb water.
• Access to oxygen and organic material or surfaces accelerates the spread of the organisms.
• Light is unnecessary for the fungi's robust spread, making building cavities likely locations for infestation.
• Lack of available moisture halts spore germination, which is why SERVPRO's expertise in water damage mitigation and remediation is uniquely valuable for inhibiting further mold damage.

Is Moisture Management the Sole Solution for Mold Remediation?

Although eliminating moisture and completing water damage restoration is the foundation of ongoing control and prevention, a plan for removing active colonies is also necessary. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted extensive research on the most effective methods to remove existing organisms and prevent further microbial growth and harm in schools and commercial buildings. The successful protocol developed based on the research is also applicable to residential infestations; why SERVPRO uses the EPA recommendations:

• Prepare technicians through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) training in various water damage and drying specialties and as Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT).
• Provide and require the wearing of personal protective equipment (PPE) so technicians work safely and avoid tracking debris into other areas.
• Inspect the customer's property, locate the growth and damage through the owner's observations, and test if a hidden spread is suspected.
• Contain the affected workspace by wrapping with 1.6 mil polyethylene, sealed with the assistance of negative pressure air scrubbing technology that also traps drifting spores and other residues in HEPA filters before outdoor exhausting
• Choose whether to use a broadcast spray of EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions to reduce the workspace's airborne spore.
• Mechanically remove the organisms with brushes, scrapers, and other abrasive tools from non-porous surfaces.
• Consider employing controlled media blasting with soda, dry ice, or corn cobs to scrub fungi from porous building materials and hinder the embedded hyphae (root-like fungal structures) from mold damage rebound.
• Vacuum and wipe up residues for double bagging and lawful disposal as hazardous waste.
• Treat now-cleaned surfaces and materials with EPA-registered antimicrobials to inhibit mold damage from returning.
