Have you ever discovered mold in your West Norriton home? Mold is a term to describe fungi which grow in a multicellular thread-like structures known as hyphae. Yeast is fungi which exist as single cells. Some yeasts and molds cause food spoilage or health effects, while others play a prominent role in biodegradation or the production of different beverages, foods, enzymes, and antibiotics.

Our technicians are trained and certified to handle the cleaning of mold growth. We can ensure that it is done safely and thoroughly so that your home is safe again. Mold has to have moisture to grow. The source of the moisture could be cooking, washing, condensation, leaks from plumbing, humidifiers, or even from the outdoors. Inadequate ventilation can contribute to levels of higher humidity and leads to condensation, allowing the mold to grow.
 
Molds release spores as small as .3 microns into the air, so when it grows inside your home, the number of fragments and spores is usually higher than it would be outdoors since this occurs in a confined space. The first step of the mold remediation process is to contain the area where the mold is growing in your home. Doing so prevents the spores from spreading to areas of your home that are clean when we disturb them during restoration. SERVPRO technicians can also set up HEPA filtered air scrubbers to extract airborne spores and mold particles.
