Mold spores can grow throughout your home and you should get professional help finding all the mold and eliminating it. Contact SERVPRO for help.

It Does Not Look That Bad; why is SERVPRO or Another Restoration Service Necessary?

Thorough mold removal in Frederick neighborhoods requires much more than scraping stains off surfaces and spraying bleach everywhere. SERVPRO technicians take four primary actions to eliminate mold and reduce the odds of dealing with a recurring problem.

• Remove visible mold – Our technicians don protective gear and use commercial-grade vacuums with HEPA filters to remove most mold spores.
• Dry and remove water sources – Mold remains inert without moisture, so our technicians eliminate pools and drips on walls to cut off the ability of mold to grow. 
• Spray antifungal cleaners on affected surfaces – After removal, technicians use a spray wand to apply cleaners designed to neutralize any missed spores and eliminate the support structure as a ready food source.
• Repair damage that allows water into the home – Our construction experts can repair roofs, redirect rain gutters, and even replace mortar in brick walls to eliminate entry into your home’s attic. 

It Looks Like the Mold Already Got into Some of the Support Structures. Can You Dig It Out?

Yes. Our IICRC trained technicians can use hand scrapers to eliminate small spots of mold. If the damage is extensive, they soda-blasting to dig out the mold spores without further harming the wood. After, they quickly remove the powder and spores with the same vacuums and HEPA filters before applying cleaners.

Does All This Restore My Home to A Safe Place to Live?

Yes. After these actions, SERVPRO team leaders perform a final check of the affected areas and then return your home to you with a complete list of steps taken and the cleaning agents and devices used by our technicians.
