Clearwater Residents Use SERVPRO for Mold Remediation

Mold contamination can appear as an unpleasant odor, a discoloration of surfaces, or the decomposition of materials. There are thousands of species of these microbes, and any number of them can affect your home environment. Generally speaking, microbes are at their worst when they infest organic matter because the digestive enzymes they produce can cause permanent damage. Synthetic or dense materials are resistant to these enzymes but require extensive cleaning and agitation to eliminate the mold problem. 

SERVPRO technicians are trained to perform

• Mold Remediation 
• Mold removal
• Mold assessments

When researching mold removal companies in Clearwater, you must check for licenses and certifications to safeguard your home. Our technicians are certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certifications (IICRC). According to the mold remediation standard guide produced by the IICRC, alongside Indoor Air Quality experts, there are five stages to ridding a property of microbial infestation.

The five stages of mold remediation

• Ensure the safety of occupants and workers
• Document moisture readings and infestation
• Stop mold at its source
• Destroy contaminated materials
• Fix the moisture issue

Our technicians can work with an IAQ specialist to remedy microbial infestation. We can also implement a standard procedure for eliminating the problem based on the IICRC standard guide without needing an IAQ. Often, microbial infestations are caused by past moisture issues. These can usually be corrected using anti-microbial chemicals to destroy the existing colonies without requiring dramatic demolition or lengthy lab-testing procedures. 

If inspections reveal widespread contamination, our technicians can seal off areas before demolition to ensure mold spores cannot travel. One method of controlling the spread of mold is to establish engineering controls. These allow crew chiefs to control how people enter and exit the affected area. Cleaning remediation equipment thoroughly before bringing it through the house is one example of effective containment through engineering controls.
