SERVPRO Mold Restoration in Clearwater Is Professional
Your Clearwater home may be clean and well maintained, but mold might still develop. Mold contamination is driven by natural factors like the presence of moisture and organic compounds providing a food source. Since these factors are readily available everywhere, mold remediation can be challenging once your home is infested.
A suitable skill set can expedite mold remediation in Clearwater. That way, it is easy to address the physical changes the infestation causes and fix the underlying conditions that fuel its growth. SERVPRO provides teams trained in different fields to help resolve mold issues in properties.
Critical skills that facilitate remediation
- Applied microbial remediation
- Water restoration
- Applied structural drying
Mold development is a multistage process that starts from microscopic matter (spores) and progresses to the visible colonies and, finally, the physical deterioration of materials. The colonies can often develop in hidden areas beneath wallpaper and wall or ceiling spaces covered with sheetrock. Only an AMRT, Applied Microbial Remediation Technician, fully understands all the unique characteristics mold exhibits as it develops in a property. Since our SERVPRO teams include such technicians, we can inform you on the best action to take, whether cleaning or removing the entire materials depending on the development stage.
Moisture Management to Control Mold
Wetness is a catalyst for mold development since it activates the microscopic spores occurring naturally in the air. If an area has a continuous moisture supply, all other steps to control mold can only deliver temporary results. SERVPRO provides water restoration technicians to handle the moisture issues in your house while we deal with the contamination. We can set up dehumidifiers in the house for humidity control and use thermal cameras to locate hidden leaks or moisture spreading in hidden areas.
Moisture sources
- Steam from cooking and bathing
- The wetness from pinhole pipe leaks
- Moisture-wicking from the foundation
