Commercial Mold Remediation Crews In Concord Explain How Air Scrubbers Get Used

If organic materials inside your Concord fabric store ever get wet, fungi can develop and cause your business many problems. If wooden or paper items inside your store stay wet from a storm or water leak for longer than 48 hours, then you might be in a situation where you need to call in a professional commercial mold remediation company such as SERVPRO. Once a fungus develops, it can quickly spread throughout your building.

Once your structure gets contaminated, it is wise to conduct commercial mold remediation inside your Concord retail store as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more time the spores coming from the fungus can get airborne and spread throughout your structure. Once fungi form they start growing structures called hyphae that release tiny seeds or spores into the air. These spores float around before settling onto another food source where they can develop and contaminate a new area.

Whenever our SERVPRO team mitigates mold-related issues, we take measures to prevent spores from spreading and contaminating your fabric store's products and structural components. One piece of equipment we use during the mitigation process is an air scrubber equipped with a HEPA filter. This machine "scrubs" the air by creating negative pressure and sucking the contaminated air inside your store into a HEPA filter that is designed to trap microscopic particles, including spores released by fungi.

If removing existing fungal contamination is required, our team sets up a containment chamber and attach an air scrubber to create negative air pressure within the affected area. The machine sucks in any particles that become airborne during the removal process.  Air scrubbers also clean the area that might have already been contaminated by spores.

In some situations, air scrubbers can also be used to ensure clean air inside your fabric shop. Since the majority of your products are porous cloth materials, we use air scrubbers to remove any potentially harmful airborne particles so that they cannot penetrate and contaminate your contents.
