What to Do When Your Montville Office has Commercial Mold Damage

One of the heralding signs of commercial mold damage is a subtle, musty odor. Many people report smelling something "off" in their workplace, but upon investigation, they saw nothing in the area of the smell, nothing further happened.

That is what commercial mold damage in Montville properties counts on to spread throughout an office building. SERVPRO technicians know mold can grow almost anywhere the conditions are right, and the infestation is usually a sign of a bigger issue that needs addressing.

Skip DIY Mold Remedies
There are a lot of do-it-yourself remedies given for mold damage treatment. Spraying with bleach and water, vinegar and lemon juice, and even tossing baby powder on mold colonies. None of these methods work to halt the infestation or stop the conditions favorable for mold growth.

Get Professional Help for Mold
First and foremost, mold spores have the potential to spread. SERVPRO technicians contain the area to stop the possibility of cross-contamination to other areas of the office during remediation efforts. Then, technicians scope the property to determine what is providing the elevated moisture levels sustaining the growth of the mold colonies. The technicians also inspect the area around the infestation to determine if desks, office furniture, papers, and other items received any effects.

Drying and Abatement Methods for Colony Elimination
Once technicians identify the issue, they recommend the needed repairs, and if the property owner chooses, with their general contractor license, SERVPRO can handle any needed repairs or reconstruction. Drying the colonies usually happens rapidly. Then the dried mold gets removed using abatement methods ranging from manual removal by scraping and picking up the dried debris with a hand vacuum with HEPA filtration or soda blasting for large-scale infestations.

Proactive Treatments
After the completion of repairs and mold remediation efforts, it is a common practice for the technicians to apply anti-microbial sealants to the areas where colonies were previously removed. This inhibits any return of the mold.
