SERVPRO removes mold stains from Seattle area homes and helps prevent future moisture problems
Mold growth in a Seattle home can be a sneaky problem, often lurking without the presence of visible leaks. Inadequate ventilation is a common culprit, trapping moisture and creating an ideal environment for mold colonies to thrive. The signs of an ongoing mold issue can include a persistent musty odor, visible mold on walls or ceilings, and even mold on cardboard boxes or paper products.
The Pitfalls of DIY Mold Remediation
Property owners may attempt DIY mold remediation, but this can lead to unintended consequences. Without proper containment and the right tools, mold spores can become airborne and spread throughout the home, especially through ductwork. This can exacerbate the problem and lead to more extensive damage.
Why Choose SERVPRO® for Mold Abatement?
Professional Expertise: When SERVPRO tackles mold remediation in Seattle properties, our highly trained technicians bring their expertise to the table. We begin by identifying the root cause of the mold infestation, which is essential for effective abatement.
Proper Containment: We take containment seriously, using techniques such as plastic barriers over vents and doorways leading outside the affected area. In more severe cases, we set up negative air chambers to capture airborne spores and transport them off-site.
Humidity Control: Monitoring and controlling humidity levels are key to mold abatement. Our technicians ensure that indoor humidity drops below 50%, preventing the conditions that support mold colonies.
Effective Abatement: Once humidity is controlled, and visible mold colonies are dried, we employ manual abatement methods. Our technicians use hand vacuums equipped with HEPA filtration to remove remaining dry matter, ensuring thorough cleanup.
Preventing Future Infestations: We don't just address the current mold problem; we also assist homeowners in identifying the root cause to prevent future issues.
