Important Facts About Mold Damage

Mold damage results typically when moisture is present in your structure, and you fail to remove it as soon as possible. Since the mold spores are present almost everywhere, when they settle on water, it is a matter of time before the mold grows. In case of a water intrusion, drying your Boynton Beach facility as well as removing all the water-damaged contents should be among the first steps when restoring your property.

Sometimes it is possible to spot mold damage in your Boynton Beach home, while in some cases it can hide behind your cushions, carpets, and walls. As far as there was a water intrusion incident in your property and you are not in a position to dry your home within 24 -48 hours, we advise you to work with qualified professionals like our SERVPRO team to analyze the extent of the moisture problem.

Exposure to areas with mold contamination can cause health effects, and that means cleaning and disinfection should start immediately. There are some safety standards which our SERVPRO team observes when working for you to stay protected against hazards. We wear a full-face, or half-face respirator to help us safely breathe in a moldy site, wear protective gloves and goggles to protect our skin and eyes respectively.

Our SERVPRO technicians understand there is a risk of spreading the spores to uncontaminated areas and as a result employ containment measures. For instance, we can shut down the HVAC system, use plastic sheeting to isolate the site, as well as generate negative pressure to prevent the mold spores from moving to a clean area.

We use detergents with antimicrobial properties to clean moldy materials where necessary, in cases where it is not possible to do the cleaning, we remove the content and seal them in plastic bags. Improving the quality of air after removing and cleaning the mold is necessary as we achieve that through deodorization.
