SERVPRO Can Explain the Benefits of Professional Mold Remediation for Your Home, and then Do It.

Homeowners experience mixed emotions when they discover mold growing in their Nashville houses. While on the one hand, some homeowners believe that this fungal growth is not a threat to them or their families, others understand the potential risks and want the growth dealt with appropriately as soon as possible. That is where professional mold remediation comes into play.
 
You might not think of mold damage in your Nashville home as being that considerable of an issue, and certainly nothing that some bleach and elbow grease cannot resolve, but you are wrong. Often fungal and microbial growth in your home deeply imbeds in the organic material and can prove impossible to reach with conventional cleaning methods. At best, your efforts could clean the surface mold away, but not the entire organism or colony. The fact is that the water in bleach may actually promote the continued growth of colonies.
 
Our SERVPRO certified applied microbial remediation technicians get specially trained to deal with all varieties of mold and fungal growth. The training encourages the most effective remediation techniques, making our team a wise choice to make short work of your issue.
 
After a thorough inspection, our SERVPRO professionals set up a perimeter around the affected area using negative air chambers and air scrubbers to trap airborne mold spores. These devices may be fitted with both HEPA filters for entrapmant and activated carbon filters for odor control. Drying the area and restoring the damage that allowed for the moisture are critical components of the remediation process as well.
 
Sanding and soda blasting are two approaches that commonly get used to remove mold colonies below the surface that you can see. Another penetrative approach is spraying an antimicrobial solution on the surfaces to allow this chemical to affect the entire hyphae.
 
Deodorization is one of the final steps of our remediation process, and it may involve the use of thermal foggers. These machines release an unscented chemical compound which breaks apart the musty odor molecules found in the vicinity of mold colonies. Once these molecules have gotten neutralized, no odor is left behind.
 
Now that you have a broader understanding of the complexities of mold remediation, you might also be able to trust that you need professional assistance.
