From inspection to remediation--Rely on SERVPRO to protect your Monroe property "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO Matches Mold Mitigation to Monroe Property Needs

In most cases, you realize there is mold in a property when surfaces like walls and ceilings start discoloring. However, the colonies can proliferate without visible signs. Such hidden infestations cause severe deterioration because they take longer to notice, thus giving the fungus time to consume organic materials such as cellulose, leaving wood frail. Only comprehensive mold remediation by a professional team like SERVPRO restores your property to its preloss state.

It would be best if you did not wait to schedule mold remediation at your Monroe property. Early signs can alert you that there is a problem, thus ensuring you do not carry out the exercise in futility. Some reasons why SERVPRO may recommend remediation include the presence of a musty smell or the aftermath of a water intrusion incident. Such remediation starts with an inspection to identify affected areas.

Common Mold Hotspots Include:

• Showers and bathrooms
• Ceiling corners
• Tile grouts in often wet areas
• Cabinets and other enclosures

When mold is not visible on surfaces, inspecting the suspected areas helps reveal the actual conditions in the concealed areas. Inspection can be non-invasive or invasive, thus causing significant damage to the structural areas. SERVPRO opts for methods that cause the least destruction, if any.

Typical Non-invasive Inspection Procedures

• Drilling exploratory holes
• Checking for hidden moisture
• Probing structural surfaces with hand tools

Executing the Remediation

The information gathered from the inspection determines the appropriate remediation procedure. For light infestations, a bit of cleaning and drying resolves the problem. If the problem is advanced, material removal and biocide application are some of the necessary procedures. Our SERVPRO technicians can perform the required controlled demolition to remove wall panels or disassemble cabinets and countertops to reach the hidden colonies.
