Discovering mold in your Glen Cove home means a call to SERVPRO for remediation

Call SERVPRO to Your Glen Cove Home if You Suspect Mold Damage

Many people are familiar with mold because this is a substance that exists naturally in humid areas. Black fungi can begin growing within your Glen Cove property on carpeting, furnishings, drywall, flooring, and other materials. Unfortunately, some homeowners are unaware of the possible hazards of microorganisms and attempt DIY cleaning to get rid of them. SERVPRO wants area residents to know that there is no such thing as mold removal, but quality mold remediation is possible when hiring the right team.

Why bother with professionals to handle mold damage in Glen Cove? Mold has the possibility of causing significant damage to your structure. As mold develops on your flooring, walls, and foundation, it can cause any structure to weaken. When left to grow for some time, mold and mildew can break down the integrity of your structural elements, leading to expensive, permanent damage.

What Areas Will Mold Grow Most Often?

You will often find mold developing on different building materials, which often happens within the construction phase. This usually occurs because of uncontrolled moisture dampening materials and bringing on liquid flow, higher humidity, and condensation. Some materials where mold spores often colonize include:

• Paper
• Wood
• Drywall
• Concrete

Our team has the equipment, methods, and knowledge to help address dangerous, stubborn mold so that you can breathe easy once again.

For our team to clean as much mold growth as possible, we may remove and discard some materials deemed unsalvageable due to infestation. Some materials, such as carpeting or drywall, may require total removal and replacement with new materials.

Additionally, no mold cleanup job is complete until the air is free of musty odors and the possibility of any residual mold spores. We do not wrap up until we are sure the project is up to our standards, even if it means having an air scrubber running for a couple of days with HEPA filtration. The team monitors all progress and only signs off when we know your family and pets will be safe in your home once again.

There are Several Mold Prevention Tips that Any Property Owner Can Use

Mold prevention is possible, so keep these tips in mind before you have to call us for mold cleanup services:

• Keep your interior as clean and dry as possible. Mold spores love a humid place to live. Having your house dry and clean eliminates the environment mold loves. Keep vent fans on a regular schedule or think about installing a dehumidifier.
• Prevent water damage. Because moisture is a common factor in mold growth, always check your property to see if there are signs of a hidden water leak or built-up condensation. When you call SERVPRO for mold remediation, we always address the moisture source before proceeding. Failing to address the cause opens the door for mold and mildew to come back.
• Disinfection is your friend. Mold will not begin colonizing on clean surfaces. Therefore, cleaning your home and paying attention to all surfaces is a great way to get ahead of the potential for any mold and mildew growth.
