Call SERVPRO to Remove Mold Colonies and Return Glen Cove Homes to a Safe Condition

So Why SERVPRO Restore My Home? Glen Cove homes need more than a pump sprayer of bleach, a scrapper, and a can of paint. SERVPRO has extensively trained personnel and a deep inventory of cleaning and antimicrobial agents and industrial-grade equipment to remediate mold and the effects it has on area residences.

Is Remediation the Same as Eliminating Mold?

No. In their inactive state, mold spores are very common and can be found in every home. Mold remediation in Glen Cove is needed when spores come into contact with water and begin to grow and expand throughout the house. Once called to a residence, our technicians quickly inspect for the location of the mold and the source of water, then get started with their process:

• Wipe down surfaces – They use dry sponges to wipe the mold off surfaces. For thicker and wet layers of mold, technicians use a mild anti-bacterial cleaner to break them up for easier removal.
• Remove water – Our teams dry up every drop of water they can find near the mold. Once they remove it with sponges or extraction wands for more significant amounts, the active spores dry up and return to their inert, harmless state.
• Examine surfaces for mold damage – Spores can extend root-like structures called hyphae, which penetrate drywall, wood, and other materials to use as food sources. To remove these colonies, technicians use sanders to remove a thin surface layer to get to the mold. For drywall, they have to replace compromised panels.
• Application of sprays or foggers to exterminate spores and colonies
