Conquering Commercial Mold Damage in Morris Plains
Although you do not want to overreact when you find mold in your Morris Plains commercial building, the reality is that you need to respond appropriately and fast. Pictures in the media often show outrageous, shocking representations of mold growth. Do not wait until colonies of fungi spread across vast expanses of ceilings and walls to act. Because mold spores float everywhere, quick containment is crucial. It is far easier to contain and remove limited mold outbreaks, and any rebuilding needs if mold growth destroys organic building materials should be manageable.
Mold Does not Represent Your Business Well
Although every company in Morris Plains risks mold damage daily, when it happens to your commercial property, it is difficult not to become stressed. A moldy outbreak can hurt your business’s reputation even though it is bad luck or hidden leaks that cause the trouble, not poor business practices.
SERVPRO Can Stem the Source of Mold Growth
Mold spores are everywhere, settled, and airborne. Moisture availability is what accelerates mold growth, so when you face a mold problem, it is useful to stand united with our crews. Our experts have a deep understanding of how water invades and damages properties, so we can help you not only contain and remove a current outbreak but also find and eliminate the exposure to excess water that fed the mold. If that step is skipped, mold returns.
Protect Patrons and Employees
SERVPRO follows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protocols when performing mold remediation. We want to shield susceptible individuals from allergic or sensitivity reactions but also rid the affected area of mold growth efficiently. The EPA procedure keeps occupants safe and gives your business the best chance to avoid future outbreaks.
Establish Containment
We use our skills in constructing sealed partitions with 6-ml polyethylene wrapping across doorways or around temporary PVC structures to isolate the moldy work area.
Remove Mold Contamination
Mechanical removal of the mold with scrapers or brushes is the best practice on solid surfaces. When porous materials are infiltrated, disposal might be indicated unless techniques like soda blasting can remove surface growth and incapacitate embedded hyphae.
Clean Dust and Settled Spores
Post-removal, we clear away debris with HEPA vacuuming and damp wiping. As cleaning disperses spores and debris, several rounds of cleaning are a good idea. Broadcast application of EPA-registered antimicrobials as the last cleaning step helps inhibit mold rebound.
Dry the Materials
Make sure the spaces and surfaces that hosted mold colonies are dry. Relative humidity should be maintained between 30 and 50 percent to avoid encouraging more mold growth.
