Trust SERVPRO to Handle the Mold Damage in Your Hicksville Home

Mold can cause health effects, and if left unchecked, it spreads to the entire house in no time, risking the structural integrity and tampering with the aesthetic appeal of a home.

These reasons are why you should contact SERVPRO to perform mold damage remediation in your Hicksville residence. It is advisable to contact us as soon as you detect it so that we can carry out a proper diagnosis of the situation and perform swift and effective remediation. Our process follows these steps:

• Assessment
• Isolation
• Removing contaminated materials
• Cleaning

Assessment

Our IICRC trained SERVPRO team can thoroughly inspect the mold and use moisture meters to perform a moisture survey. Moisture meters have a significant sensory pad, and they emit electromagnetic signals to measure how much moisture is present in the material that restorers are testing, such as wood. Locating hidden moisture sources ensures that mold does not return once we clean the area.

Isolation

After taking care of the source of moisture, we can use plastic sheeting to isolate the area affected by mold to prevent the spores from quickly spreading. We can also use a HEPA-filtered air scrubber to remove all the mold spores suspended in the air.

Removing Contaminated Materials

Our SERVPRO technicians can remove the materials that mold has affected, such as insulation and drywall, double-bag them, and dispose of them carefully. We also remove materials like fabrics and carpets that have had mold exposure and then conduct micro-cleaning on home contents to clean up mold spores that have settled on them.

Cleaning

Our SERVPRO restorers can spray a biocide, a mold killer, on the mold colony to sterilize it before commencing the clean-up of mold spores using HEPA vacuums and damp-wiping of surfaces.
