Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

Mold remediation is a misunderstood service, but one that is vital when you suspect mold growth has begun in your Worcester County home or business. Recovery of these situations is two-fold – addressing both the moisture damage that facilitated mold growth and the removal of active colonization in the property. Not only does our SERVPRO team have a full roster of Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT) accredited through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), but we also rely on our experienced and highly-trained Water Restoration Technicians (WRT) with additional education in Applied Structural Drying (ASD.)

Many of our customers find mold threats during home inspections, either when selling or buying a house. We work closely with industrial hygienists to meet specific standards and stay within existing remediation protocols. Removal strategies for active colonies ranging from media and soda blasting to sanding and antimicrobial products get determined by the hosting material and severity of the situation. With containment strategies, including physical barriers and negative air chambers, we can provide an isolated work area for our professionals that protects the rest of the property from potential damage.

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because removing all mold from a house or business is impossible; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
