SERVPRO Can Help You Remove Mold Residues and Clean Up Your Facility for Better Indoor Air Quality

Paying attention to the air quality at your Germantown commercial establishment is essential for the comfort and safety of your staff and customers. Among the factors that influence indoor air quality, mold plays a significant role since it is common in buildings, whether old or recently constructed.

If you identify mold contamination and worry about air quality, the best solution is to embark on mold remediation for your Germantown premises. Ignoring or delaying action is not advisable since mold problems worsen over time. Recurrence is also possible if you only clean visible growth. SERVPRO handles the complexities of remediation, delivering long-term results and addressing air quality.

Convenience when resolving mold situation requires:

• Better inspection approaches
• Secure containment of affected areas
• Specialized cleaning techniques

Inspection is as crucial as any other aspect of remediation. When you are worried about air quality, it is a good idea to inspect the level of particulate matter. Apart from releasing spores, mold contributes other particulate matter into the air by causing deterioration of materials such as cracking and flaking of painted surfaces. SERVPRO technicians can use an air quality monitor to determine the level of VOCs, CO2, and particulate matter, thus establishing the steps to take.

Although mold may appear as patches and stains on surfaces, the bulk of the mold contamination is usually hidden out of sight. The hidden contamination contributes to most of the musty odor and particulate matter in the air. Our SERVPRO technicians can help remove such hidden mold faster and with minimal inconvenience.

Some of the essential steps for such removal include:

• Controlled demolition to reach the hidden mold
• HEPA vacuuming surfaces to remove all residues
• Cleaning HVAC systems 
• Drying any wetness and deodorizing the premises
