How A Small Leak Complicates Mold Remediation in Norristown

Mold is more than just a nuisance that messes with the visual appeal and air quality of a home. Mold needs a few things, including organic food sources, to thrive. Therefore, when left to proliferate for long, it eats its way into materials compromising their structural integrity. We offer professional remediation services in that can help you restore your Norristown property to the preloss state. 

Slow proliferation is one factor that complicates mold remediation in Norristown. In areas like bathrooms or kitchens when water is regularly used, it is possible for small leaks to go unnoticed for long. Sustained leakage and gravity action extends the damage deep into floors and subfloors thus remediation process requires demolition to replace all the damaged materials. Our SERVPRO technicians use thermal cameras, and other advanced moisture detection equipment to trace the extent of water migration then figure out an approach to tear down the affected areas without doing significant damage to unaffected areas.

Removing the debris and residues left by the infestation is essential to restore the visual appeal and rid the house of the musty smell associated with mold growth. Our SERVPRO technicians use different approaches like HEPA vacuuming and damp wiping the area to remove the debris. Since debris removal and teardown releases spores and other residues into the air, we use air scrubbers with activated charcoal or negative pressure systems to remove such debris.

It is necessary to deal with the moisture problem that led to growth to prevent future proliferation. Fixing leaks and drying off excess moisture should help achieve this goal. Our SERVPRO technicians rely on their ASD, Applied Structural Drying, skills to carry out this step. We use air movers to increase evaporation rate, then use dehumidifiers to extract the moisture from the air. We can also use specialized equipment such as an injecti-dry system to remove moisture trapped in confined spaces.
