Certified SERVPRO Technicians Have the Training and Experience to Abate Mold Problems

You may be concerned when you hear the term applied to a problem within your home. Mold infestation. Highly trained technicians at SERVPRO are constantly alert for mold growth when we are called to your home to consult and devise a plan to restore your property. We use a protocol developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and IICRC guidelines to ensure your indoor environment is correctly assessed for microbial infestation before mold remediation proceeds. An Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) can be consulted to draft a work plan to address any mold damage following EPA standards if deemed necessary.

If mold damage in West Loop is present, we can arrange to contain the contamination using poly sheeting, tension poles, and negative air pressure. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and protected while documenting the presence of the mold and our efforts to control it. Locating the source of the mold is essential. At the same time, removing contaminated material without spreading it to other areas is key, possible through our technicians’ training and the use of specialized equipment and products developed to reduce moisture, mold, and its growth.

Once the mold damage is identified and removed, the next step is to find the path moisture took to feed the microbes. Sometimes this is obvious if storms sheared off roofing or flooded basements. Often it is a detection exercise if mold grew because of high ambient humidity or a unique and complex soaking from remote damage that sent water on a route that could not be easily anticipated. SERVPRO staff have seen it all and are in a position to discover the truth behind mold feeding and growth, remediating the issue by drying the materials and structure and repairing the leak or reducing the humidity.
