Our Certified Technicians Remediate Mold Infestations in Homes While Offering Tips to Prevent Recurrences

Humid areas of your house are not only problematic to live in, but they can also produce some rather severe conditions. Mold spores exist naturally in the air and are brought in through the air systems that you have in your Concord home. While typically these microscopic spores remain unseen and unfelt, the presence of moisture within the more humid areas of your house could allow these spores to thrive and grow.
 
Mold damage in Concord is something unfortunate that people have to deal with, especially in areas that are typically darker and exposed to more constant moisture (like your basement). While it is striking how common mold is in these areas, it does not make it any less problematic for you or the other people living in your house. Mold can cause health effects, and as such, should be taken very seriously when you identify its existence in your home.
 
Mold is not simple to remove, and many conventional methods that you can find online are not effective on all kinds of the fungus. Some of the methods only remove the mold that can be seen with the naked eye but fail to remove the entirety of the hyphae. Some types of mold can adversely react to home remedy removal methods and can pose more serious threats as a result.
 
Our SERVPRO IICRC certified technicians have experience using the latest technology and equipment to remove the mold from your house quickly and efficiently. This remediation process begins with drying the area and preventing the spores from spreading to new places. Negative air chambers, air scrubbers, and dehumidifiers are critical to this drying step. During the removal process, your heating or air conditioning units are turned off to prevent the spread of the spores to new areas of the house.
 
With the spores unable to spread, our SERVPRO Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians begin work using antimicrobial and antifungal treatment procedures to eradicate the presence of mold colonies. These treatments are the most efficient way to prevent further mold damages to your home and to keep your family safe.
