Effective Mold Cleanup in East Brunswick with SERVPRO

Removing these microbes can be a total pain for a regular homeowner. Hiring a professional mold remediation company is better than doing it yourself because you risk unsettling the spores. The spores could spread to other places waiting for triggers. Also, the colonies grow in hard-to-spot areas like crevices and cracks in walls and floors. If you only clean the visible areas, the problem resurfaces. SERVPRO crews have detection tools to help catch all the infected regions. Our crews can define the extent of the damage and the right cleaning approach to prevent future problems.

Microbial growth in an East Brunswick, home can leave incredible damage. Mold spreads unbelievably fast in the presence of moisture, organic food sources, and minimal natural light and can set colonies all over your property. Most microbes thrive best between 68º and 86º F. However, some prefer cold temperatures as low as 32ºF while others have hot temperatures up to 122º F. It could damage the structural materials and cause problems with the home’s contents hence the need for remediation. The worst part is that it can remain undetected in certain areas.

Key steps in mold remediation:

• Establishing containment
• Removing mold-contaminated materials
• Cleaning moldy surfaces
• Drying

The SERVPRO crew ensures the HVAC unit is shut off and conducts different containment procedures to prevent spores from spreading. Containment may include:

• Using plastic sheeting to create barriers.
• Establishing negative air pressure in affected areas.
• Establishing clean and decontamination rooms for equipment and materials.

Mold Cleanup

Some equipment used during mold remediation include:

• HEPA vacuums 
• Air scrubbers
• Wire brushing

SERVPRO crews chose a cleaning method depending on the type of surface. HEPA vacuums can remove mold fragments from dry, non-porous surfaces. If the mold is growing in a layer of soil, damp wiping with a detergent solution will help. Semi-porous materials, including wood and concrete, can be cleaned by sanding, wire brushing, wet wiping, or other abrasive methods.
