SERVPRO Understands the Nature of Mold and Various Advanced Techniques to Remove it from Your Riverside home

Anyone living in Riverside knows that local conditions can be humid from time to time. This atmospheric moisture often fosters the rapid growth of harmful fungi like mold and mildew.

When these growths develop, they can cause various effects ranging from cosmetic to the structurally destructive. Luckily, SERVPRO is often able to resolve such issues successfully.

How Does Mold Grow and Spread?   

As an experienced mold removal service, we know the nature of mold, the reason it proliferates, and have perfected techniques to mitigate or eliminate it effectively. When dealing with mold, we have learned that it is useful to remember it's essential characteristics which are:

• Mold is naturally occurring and can exist almost anywhere outside or inside your home.
• It's spores are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
• It is moisture loving and proliferates when it encounters water.
• Mold thrives on higher indoor humidity levels, especially those above 40%.
• It's lightweight enables it to travel around easily, the wind can carry mold spores into your home through an open window or door, and spores can attach to your clothing and be unknowingly transported into your home. Pets can also carry them inside, and your HVAC system can blow them around your homes interior.
• Mold usually gives off a strong musty odor that makes effected areas easier to locate. 

SERVPRO technicians using cutting edge tools like moisture sensors and meters, thermohydrometers, and infrared cameras can relatively quickly locate areas around your home where mold exists or could soon develop.

In general, we take the following measures when cleaning up and restoring mold damaged properties:

•  Once you call us, we immediately evaluate your situation over the phone and determine the resources necessary for handling your problem.
• Since we understand that significant mold growth and damage can occur in just a few hours, our experts usually arrive on site within an hour of you call to locate and assess the mold damage.
• We then work to prevent mold from further spreading around your home by shutting off your HVAC system, employing work area seals, and creating negative air chambers to confine mold spores while your home is being remediated.
• Our technicians test the materials to see what is salvageable. They then clean and treat restorable household contents with antifungals and deodorants, and discard materials beyond repair.
• While your residence is being cleaned, we remove mole spores from the air with advanced filtration devices like HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers.
• Finally, if necessary, we replace damaged structural elements and reconstruct destroyed sections of your residence.

Ultimately SERVPRO can help you successfully deal with every phase of the recovery process. Moreover, our policy of always trying to restore damage materials first rather than simply replace them, save you time and money.
