Mold remediation is not a DIY project. The IICRC certified technicians of SERVPRO have experience and training for the job.

It is Best To Let an Experienced Restorer Like SERVPRO Handle the Mold Damage in Your Monticello Home

Excess humidity or a water leak creates a conducive environment for mold to form in your property. Mold growth occur and it can spread quickly to other surfaces. If not handled fast, it can cause health effects to the property’s residents.

When you contact SERVPRO technicians on time, we respond fast to prevent further damage. The fastest response to mold damage in your Monticello home also cuts down the remediation cost.

Removing mold from an affected property is challenging. It is necessary to have mold removal skills and advanced equipment to handle it. Mold spores are microscopic and exist both outdoors and indoors. Other challenges of removing mold include:

• Mold produces a strong, musty odor.
• Mold spores can float in the air.
• Higher than average humidity in your property can support mold growth.
• Mold spores can grow into colonies when exposed to water.

When handling a mold infestation, we contain the affected area using polythene paper to limit mold from spreading. Our restorers can use microban, a quaternary, and a phenolic mixed with a detergent to treat the area. We combine the two products in a 9 to 10 pH range for effective cleaning. The product cleans bacteria and fungi and also counteracts odors.

Mold can cause health effects if not handled on time. Contact SERVPRO of Sullivan and South Ulster Counties to manage mold damage in your property effectively to make it “Like it never even happened.” Our 24-hour hotline is (845) 791-7647.
