Mold Remediation in Allston Homes Requires Expertise

Mold often grows in homes, especially in the wetter areas of the nation. Yet, even homes in dry places have spaces and rooms that can develop mold. When a home has moisture, mold can grow. Mold commonly infests the grout between ceramic tiles. 

An easy form of mold remediation occurs every time homeowners use a bleach-based cleaner to spray the mold and wipe it off. However, more critical mold infestations from an aesthetic or safety viewpoint occur elsewhere. In that case, you need help from professionals who offer mold remediation in Allston. SERVPRO has expertise in remediating mold. 

During the mold remediation process, our team removes moisture and mold. The goal is not to create a fungi-free, sterile environment but to return the contents and space as close to the pre-damaged condition as possible. The severity of mold contamination determines the scope of remediation activities. Our SERVPRO technicians can implement several strategies during remediation to prevent contamination of mold-free areas and minimize risks to remediation workers and occupants. The strategies include:

• Proper planning before remediation.
• Ensuring vulnerable persons are not in the work area. These persons include infants younger than a year old, pregnant women, and those recovering from surgery.
• Using suitable Personal Protective Equipment.
• Containment during remediation. This reduces the distribution of particulates and mold to surrounding areas. 
• Implementing appropriate quality control/quality assurance measures to monitor activities during and following the remediation project to eliminate the moisture. 

An essential step in mold remediation is to set up ventilation and containment. Our SERVPRO team can use appropriate ventilation and air filtration equipment like air scrubbers to ensure that the disturbed mold spores that become airborne do not spread to unaffected areas. Air scrubbers remove the gasses and particulates mold causes from the affected area. They eliminate airborne particles, gasses, and odors from the air.

Our SERVPRO team can also clean and disinfect your home. We can clean non-porous materials and use a fungicide or biocide solution to disinfect them. Addressing any humidity or moisture concerns is also essential.
