Our technicians understand the science behind mold growth, cleanup, and removal with the skills to address any mold issue you might be confronted with. We specialize in cleaning mold in basements, crawlspaces, attics, drywall, etc.

Measures to contain mold

• Identify and isolate the contaminated area
• Remove affected materials
• Clean the affected areas and materials

Mold abatement techniques

Containing mold-contaminated areas ensures it does not spread to the unaffected areas. Our crew covers all doorways and other openings with a 6-mil polyethylene sheeting. Using duct tape, we seal all seams of the sheeting and slip openings in the sheeting for access to the contaminated area. To remove mold contamination, we assess the type of surface affected. Typically, we can dispose of all wet and mold-damaged porous material.

Steps in cleaning moldy surfaces

• Release mold from the surface using a wire brush
• Use disposable heavy-duty cleaning wipes
• Apply cleaning solutions to the area and scrub

SERVPRO releases mold from porous surfaces using a wire brush, then wipe the area with disposable wipes. Using a damp cloth and detergent solution, we scrub all surfaces until all mold has been removed, then rinse with clean water. Additionally, we dry the structure and contents to stop further mold growth.
