Mold remediation for your property is no DIY project. SERVPRO techs are ready at a moment's notice for the help you need.

Mold Damage is a Threat to Mt. Airy Structures, But Our Team has Effective Remediation Solutions to Help.

Moist conditions can see mold developing within days, making the need for remediation pressing when possible microbial threats are not discovered for weeks in confined and generally unused areas like the attic. When mold colonization is found, several hosting materials might already exist and require attention.

Moist Attics Can Become Mold-Damaged

Before mold cleanup can begin in Mt Airy homes, we must determine the extent of the damage in exposed areas. With storms being a substantial threat to Frederick County, many vulnerabilities in roofs can exist that allow for moisture penetration. Mold developing in the attic space can be a challenge to access and eliminate, but we have several approaches to accomplish this.

Mold Removal Approaches for Smaller Spaces

Confined spaces can provide a remediation challenge for our technicians. Ultimately, the choice in mold removal tactics is based on data collected during the inspection phase. We can choose among multiple options, including:

• Sanding
• Media blasting
• Antimicrobial sprays
• Mold inhibitors
• Controlled demolition

Containment Limits the Work Area

One of the actions that our professionals can take to protect area homes after mold exposure is to begin containment. With physical polypropylene sheeting and barriers made with air scrubbers and negative pressure chambers, we can limit the movement of active spores that might find suitable hosts in other areas of the house.

Mold can substantially threaten area homes and businesses, especially when these organisms thrive in confined spaces. Our SERVPRO of Frederick County team provides fast and efficient remediation solutions to overcome these harmful organisms and the damage they can cause area residences.
