SERVPRO Has a Trusted Proven Process to Remediate Mold Damage in Your Home

Mold exists everywhere. When water, darkness, and cellulose are located near each other, the mold that is already present can begin to grow. Mold grows as long as it continues to have both food and moisture available – direct sunlight can kill small amounts of mold, and often inhibits the growth of larger colonies.
 
Homes in Prattville that have unused areas and rooms can develop mold damage. Finding mold growing in your guest room can be embarrassing and scary. Mold growth does not happen overnight, even though it might seem that way. Guest rooms that are closed off and have little to no ventilation are often victims of mold. Occasionally airing out a room and allowing sunlight to enter can help prevent mold from growing out of control. When mold has already become a problem, SERVPRO can help get everything back to normal again.
 
Because mold can grow on different surfaces and permeate various materials, we do more than just structural restorations. Textiles that have been mold damaged can often be cleaned so that mold returns to normal levels again, preventing them from rapidly disintegrating. Damaged walls and ceilings can be removed and replaced, and then treated with safe mold-inhibiting agents, making mold much less able to affect them in the future. Air scrubbers are an excellent way to remove mold spores that are suspended in the air, keeping you and your family from breathing them in, and from spreading to other areas of your home.
 
These methods are only a few of the ways SERVPRO removes mold damage. Our work is not complete, however, until mold is reduced to normal levels within your home. Finding the source of the moisture that let mold begin growing is one of the first things we do.
 
We are certified in mold remediation and know that removing mold contamination is only effective when mold prevention is also part of our work. Keeping your home dry with the use of dehumidifiers can keep mold from returning.
