Mold Damage Remediation in Your Covina Home or Business Is Critical

Commercial mold damage can literally shut down business. Contact SERVPRO immediately to investigate and remediate the damage.

Why SERVPRO for Mold Damage Remediation

Removing water from a flooded building is often an easy task for restoring a home or office. Clean-up crews need to ensure that excess moisture has been removed from any place that mold might take hold and grow. If they do not rid the structure of all dampness, the resultant contamination can be much more costly than water removal.

Mold remediation standards are determined by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). When it comes to remediating mold damaged Covina homes, four principles provide SERVPRO guidance for every job, no matter how large or small.

Provide for Health and Safety

Since mold spores may cause health effects, our remediation teams do everything possible to protect not just our technicians but also the occupants of the building. This means unique safety practices to limit and expectedly prevent exposure from the mold as it is disturbed during the cleaning process. And stop it from spreading to uninfected areas of the building. This containment technique depends on the circumstances of the infestation.

Document Conditions and Processes

In the beginning, our inspectors record the extent of the mold contamination and the moisture saturation level in the affected area. Once our technicians have finished remediation, our report may be provided to an independent inspector to ensure the building is safe to inhabit. This report disclosure is dependent upon the agreed-upon procedures.

Control the Mold Containment at its Source

Isolate the mold growth and the spores. One of our most important actions is to place negative air pressure machines wherever drywall demolition occurs. This treatment method captures the mold and spores that go airborne and makes removing infected drywall more efficient.

Remove Contamination

When mold grows past the point where the items or building materials can be cleaned, it must be removed. The damaged material is removed in as few pieces as possible to prevent additional exposure or mold spreading. The debris is wrapped and discarded according to codes and regulations. Once that is accomplished, we use commercial vacuums with HEPA filters to remove loose mold and wipe down every surface with anti-fungal and other cleaning products. Air scrubbers may be placed to capture errant mold spores circulation within the structure.
