Moldy Mess in Concord? Call SERVPRO for Remediation and Cleanup

SERVPRO Alleviates Fears and Remediates Mold for Our Customers

The discovery of mold in your home is something that many Concord homeowners have in common. Humid conditions and moisture left behind in your home after storm damages occur often provide the right circumstances for fungal and microbial growth. While some might get billed as being worse than others, any mold growth in your home is something that you want to address as quickly as possible.

One of the varieties of fungal growth that tend to get named as more harmful or severe than others in your Concord home is black mold. In truth, this might look different and more ominous than other types you might have seen in the past, but the effects of its presence typically are the same as any other type you might encounter.

Our SERVPRO team of Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians AMRT get uniquely trained to handle every variety of mold that could surface and colonize in your home. Our experience and equipment can allow our team to work efficiently in remediating the damage that black mold causes and make the environment safer for you and your family.

With the understanding that mold can cause health effects to you and your family, remediating the damage is a critical step that should immediately follow the discovery of the growth. When our SERVPRO technicians arrive at your home, we get to work on isolating the affected area with plastic containment barriers, negative air chambers, and air scrubbers outfitted with HEPA filters for capturing mold particulates and spores as small as 0.3 microns. These devices catch airborne mold spores to prevent them from spreading to new areas of your home while the remediation is underway. We can also utilize activated carbon in this scrubbers to improve the indoor air quality.

Often sanding and soda blasting are typical approaches to removal of the mold colonies, especially when they get deeply seated in a material. Extraction of these colonies is not always effective, however. Sometimes removal of the severely damaged material (and replacement of new material) is necessary to complete the mold remediation.

Many people end up misguided by a belief that black mold is more dangerous or hazardous in your home than other types. While this might not be the case, exposure to any variety of mold is something you should handle as soon as you can. Trust the mold remediation specialists at SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord to help you through every step of this process. Give us a call today at (978) 486-9868.
