Clearwater Beach, FL Mold Damage Remediation

The Beach Walk beautification project for Clearwater Beachintroduced tourists and locals to a more pleasing aesthetic of shops and stores adjacent to the waterfront. However, this improved appearance did not make the structures less susceptible to mold development in moist conditions. Mold remediation is often needed in many area homes and businesses battling dampness and ventilation. Black mold can be overwhelming to find in your residence, but our SERVPRO mold specialists can help with a thorough inspection and removal process to help with:

  • Mold remediation
  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Attic mold
  • Black mold
  • Mold specialists

How Can Mold Remediation Vary in Clearwater Beach Homes?  

Choosing the right mold remediation approach means assessing the current needs of the property after colonization gets discovered. Mold inspection is a preliminary action before attic mold or bathroom mold removal to ensure the right practices get implemented. The process can vary from surface cleaning to more direct controlled demolition options that address deeply seated black mold organisms.

Is Attic Mold Removal Common for Clearwater Beach? 

Because of the severe weather that many structures in the area are susceptible to throughout the year, damages can allow for moisture penetration through the roof materials and insulation. Moisture unchecked in the attic space can lead to mold growth, where our mold specialists must implement removal strategies to prevent further spread of the organism and deterioration of hosting materials.

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because it’s impossible to remove all mold from a house or business; 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 on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. 
  • 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.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:

Step 1: Emergency Contact - (727) 391-6212

We’re available 24 hours, 7 days a week to answer your phone call. Our consultant will guide you through this process, asking questions that will allow us to better understand your situation and to determine the needed equipment and personnel.

Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the mold damage by carefully inspecting your property for visible signs of mold. Since mold can be hidden, we use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources. 

Step 3: Mold Containment

To keep the mold spores from spreading further, we will use various mold containment procedures. Our professionals may use physical barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the contaminated area and to help prevent the mold spores from spreading through your Clearwater Beach, FL home or business. Also, we’ll turn off the property’s fans and heating and cooling systems to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process. 

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. We’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. It may be necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to remediate heavy mold growth.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

We clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by mold, using a variety of cleaning techniques to clean and disinfect your belongings. We’re also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
