The community comes alive during the 5th Avenue Spring Fair, where local vendors and artisans exhibit their crafts, food, and entertainment. Business establishments include trendy boutiques and restaurants such as Lubella Boutique Brooklyn and LaMeera Moda - Brooklyn, NY. 

Mold infestation in homes requires a thorough inspection and solutions from expert mold removal companies in Bay Ridge. DIY methods seem like a quick fix. However, the methods often fail to address the root cause of the problem, which is moisture. Water damage and mold go hand in hand since moisture is a primary factor in microbial growth. Water damage in a typical home can be due to condensation, plumbing issues, and leaks from the roof or windows. Therefore, SERVPRO must address the moisture situation to manage a mold situation. We fix leaks and use pumps, wet vacuums, or mops to remove standing water. We also dry the affected areas using dehumidifiers and open windows to accelerate drying. We then proceed to inspect areas for signs of mold, including;

• Discoloration
• Musty odors 
• Visible mold growth

Safe Mold Cleanup Solutions 

SERVPRO crews use several safe and effective solutions for mold cleanup, ensuring thorough removal and prevention of future issues. Our crews set up containment barriers using plastic sheeting. This way, we can isolate the mold contamination from the rest of the property since mold may only have impacted specific areas of your property. We also remove materials such as drywall, insulation, and flooring that have been severely affected by mold. We remove contaminated materials from the building by placing them in sealed plastic bags or wrapping them in 6-mil polyethylene.

Considerations when Constructing Containment

• Turning off the HVAC system 
• Setting up a negative airflow system in the work area
• Placing plastic over doors, air vents, and windows, and seal seams with duct tape
