Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

Where there is moisture in your home, mold development is possible. Understanding these threats can help you see the need for professional remediation services when organisms impact your property. Microbial colonies' fast spread and growth create a volatile environment impacting your family and hosting structural elements. SERVPRO of Bay Ridge helps with:

  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Basement mold remediation
  • Attic mold
  • Black mold

Mold Removal Strategies To Help

When it comes to mold removal, there are several actions our SERVPRO team can take. Upon inspection of the structural integrity of hosting materials, we can determine the best approach to help your home. Sporicidal products are ideal for their noninvasiveness, but abrasive cleaning might be required with media blasting services using dry ice or baking soda.

Mold Specialists Overcome Odors 

One of the most apparent signs of mold damage in your home is the musty smell accompanying colonization. Spreading organisms emit a recognizable offensive odor that must be addressed with deodorization products and equipment. Fogging is often the most effective means of managing these environmental smells, including those trapped in porous materials.

Mold Damage Repairs Needed 

With the general contractor license, we can help with the repairs and reconstruction necessary for your home after mold damage. While this can be as simple as replacing removed panels of drywall discarded during the remediation process, it could also describe the actions necessary to seal and prevent future moisture penetration to avoid mold recurrence.

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because removing all mold from a house or business is impossible; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
