Mold and Fungi Are OK in a Petri Dish, But Not in Your Home

Your Home in Goodyear Receives Mold Remediation from SERVPRO

Mold growth is an unwanted outcome of water intrusion necessitating mold remediation in some residential properties in Goodyear. In spite of the low humidity in Arizona, excessive water provides mold with the moist, wet setting in which it grows most effectively. Mold spores are prevalent in home environments with food sources in abundance, just needing sufficient moisture to develop colony strings. These fungi can quickly expand into large patches of mold. For this reason, it's critically important that property owners secure effective, expedient mold remediation services once they suspect that mold is growing in their homes. There is a wide range of mold cleanup methodologies that mold remediation experts from SERVPRO will provide to handle the fungus issue. Here are five of them:

Wipe-Down

The first and most effective method for mold removal is a wipe-down. This process involves removing unwanted mold from your non-porous surfaces. Because mold spores are microscopic, mold remediation specialists place primacy on wiping down any surface that may have been contaminated; it is not sufficient to just wipe down visible mold colony patches.

Vacuuming

In addition to wiping down surfaces, mold remediation specialists will use wet vacuuming procedures to remove standing water. This step is important because mold can accumulate in the presence of standing water in places like a wet or flooded basement.

HEPA Vacuuming

Another strategy mold remediation specialists will employ to help eradicate fungus is HEPA vacuuming. Vacuum cleaners that come equipped with HEPA filtration can capture and remove particles as tiny as 1 micron without recirculating them back into the interior ambient air. We are trained to utilize negative air pressure chambers to prevent mold from infesting previously clean rooms. HVAC units should never be running until the components, and ductwork have been sanitized.

Physical Removal

Once the mold has become entrenched and penetrates porous property material like wood, drywall, and concrete, removing and disposing of these materials is the best course of action. Professional mold remediation specialists handle this part of the process by carefully sealing materials contaminated by mold until they can be discarded off-site.

Chemical Treatments

Mold remediation specialists from SERVPRO use a wide range of chemical agents to kill mold. These chemicals can range from professional biocides to household bleach. Typically, remediation specialists prefer to physically remove mold and also implement strategies to prevent recurrence.
