Don't Let Mold Ruin Your Business from Reopening

Many businesses and offices are in the process of reopening after months of lockdown. With lights and HVAC systems off, there is likely mold that needs removing

Are you planning to reopen your business after months of lockdown? Before you welcome customers back to your store or office, you should take steps to make sure it's safe for people to return. 

Mold can be present somewhere without detection by the naked eye at first. Read on to learn four ways that we ensure full mold removal so you can reopen with confidence!

1. Perform a Thorough Inspection and Assessment

At SERVPRO of Central Tallahassee, we perform a thorough inspection and assessment of your property upon arrival. We send a technician to your business to perform an in-depth inspection for the presence of any mold. 

We will also use various technologies, including a moisture meter, to discover mold in areas where it is not yet visible.

2. Containment and Air Filtration 

Once we discover areas where mold is present inside of your office, we focus on containment and air filtration to limit the spread of spores.

Our trained professionals will use physical barriers to isolate the mold-infested areas. They will also ensure all HVAC systems are off during the entire process. This helps to limit the chance of spreading mold in other areas.

Air filtration procedures allow us to pull mold spores out of the air so that what's inside your business is a clean final product. 

3. Removing Molded Materials

Depending on the mold severity, we may have to remove molded materials because of damage. For example, you may have a piece of wood or a ceiling panel that has an advanced mold infestation. 

Our professionals will remove these pieces as necessary to be sure that what's left is free of mold. We will also apply anti-fungal and anti-microbial products to other molded areas. This helps to control future mold outbreaks from growing fast.

4. Cleanup and Restoration

After we find and remove mold in your business, we will perform cleanup and restoration procedures as the final step in our process.

The cleanup process includes picking up all debris that was created during the treatment stage. We will also ensure that all of our materials and tools are picked up so that your office space is clean and safe for customers and employees.

Lastly, our restoration process may include replacing carpet or other structural components of your building that we removed because of extensive mold infestations.
