Florida has a year round environment for mold growth. Our SERVPRO professionals are always on call to remediate the mold in your home.

What Can Remediators Do for Damaged Tallahassee Homes? 

Mold remediation is a vital service for Tallahassee homes when microbial threats have gotten discovered. While you might become misled with companies and services suggesting that they can remove all of the molds from your home, this is not an accurate statement. We can eliminate the threats of active mold colonization in your house through proven strategies ranging from cleaning surfaces to more abrasive techniques. 

With both education and endorsements from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI), our SERVPRO team has extensive experience in managing mold damage in Tallahassee homes. Because mold colonies can spread so quickly from one surface to another in moist conditions, it is essential to know what to expect from competent professionals arriving to help.

Containment  

A vital element of managing mold situations in your home is preventing the spread of this organism to other areas of the property. In most situations, this involves the erection of containment barriers and the deployment of equipment like negative air chambers. These devices can capture mold spores before they can spread to the rest of the house, and work in conjunction with physical barriers built from thick plastic sheeting. 

Cleaning 

Our SERVPRO team has numerous cleaning technicians that can work to protect affected materials and contents through various practices. While surface cleaning techniques can often work, with the application of potent antimicrobial agents, we can also utilize abrasive cleaning methods like soda blasting to eliminate the entire hyphae of the organism and begin deodorization. 

Deodorization 

Odors are another damaging aspect of mold colonization in your home, as the distinct musty scent the organism emits can move beyond the affected area. We have numerous deodorization tools that we can use to address these concerns, but few have the mobility and range of our thermal foggers. These units can heat up deodorizing agents to a vapor that can penetrate affected building materials and contents to neutralize trapped odors as well as free moving compounds. 

Remediation is a necessary practice when you discover microbial threats in your home, and our SERVPRO of Central Tallahassee team can help. Give us a call anytime at (850) 765-5706.
