Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

In a subtropic climate and part of the Greater Tampa Bay area where moisture and humidity are continual concerns for properties, the threats of mold development are more frequent than many might think. The experience of our SERVPRO professionals can help overcome several possible obstacles common to residential mold development, such as cleaning confined spaces, preventing recurrences, and managing musty malodors. 

How Does Mold Impact Homes?

Mold uses organic matter as a food source, which can destroy hosting elements and materials. Because of this finite timeline to address the degradation of exposed materials, professionals must get to work fast on efforts like containment, remediation, and repairs. Understanding the physical damage that results from microbial development can express the urgency of restoration and recovery services to begin. We specialize in areas like:

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

Remediation Options for Your House

Choosing the right remediation options involves understanding the type of damage that exists, the impact of specific treatment plans on the hosting material, and how salvageable the affected area remains. While surface treatment with antimicrobials and sporicidal products can be an effective strategy for light damage, SERVPRO professionals must also consider abrasive cleaning, media blasting, and controlled demolition.

Can SERVPRO Complete Repairs?

When build-back services are needed after mold exposure, our general contractor license can help. The experience in this niche allows us to complete demolition and repairs following damaging and destructive mold events.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these 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 a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • 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.
