Understanding how mold removal companies address these severe issues can provide peace of mind and ensure effective remediation. Always consider SERVPRO of Norwich and Windham County as a top-notch mold remediation company.

Initial Assessment and Containment

The first step in skilled mold remediation is a thorough assessment. Specialists from mold removal companies visit the Danielson property to identify the depth of the infestation and the source of moisture contributing to microbial growth. This assessment is crucial as it determines the remediation strategy.

• Identify Hotspots: Technicians use tools like moisture meters and infrared cameras to locate mold colonies hidden behind walls or under floors. 
• Establish Containment Zones: To prevent tiny spores from spreading, professionals use physical barriers such as plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems. 

Mold Removal Techniques

After containment, the actual removal process begins. This remediation involves several techniques tailored to the severity of the infestation and the types of surfaces affected.

• Dry Ice Blasting: This method is effective for removing mold from wood and cement without introducing additional moisture. 
• HEPA Vacuuming: High-efficiency particulate Air vacuums capture even the tiniest mold spores from surfaces and the air. 
• Antifungal Treatments: Specialized chemicals are applied to affected areas to kill any remaining mold and prevent future growth. 

Addressing the Source of Water Damage

For lasting results, it is crucial to address the underlying problems that led to mold growth. This task often involves repairing water damage, which could be from leaking pipes or moisture intrusion from outside. Our mold removal company works to identify and fix these problems to prevent future infestations.

What Else Do Mold Removal Services Accomplish?

Eliminating microbial overgrowth with SERVPRO's mold removal services prepares Norwich homes for restorative rebuilding and construction. In addition to finding mold because of the odor it produces, some homeowners find that they knew of a mold situation because of increased humidity in a confined location.

For homeowners in Norwich, having mold removal services can result in a cleaner feel to their home. Several things happen in the absence of excess microbes. Remediation is a restorative, protective process that can take time but is well worth the effort.

Once we eliminate microbial over-populations, your family will notice the following changes:

• A disappearance of a musty odor,
• Normalized humidity, and
• Strengthened structures within the home.

Musty smells originating from mildew can become very bothersome. It changes how food tastes to your family and clings to towels and other linens. Airborne microbes or spores can cause these odors. Removing the mold-infested particle board under a sink can eliminate the odor's source.

Removing mold also requires the elimination of any source of moisture within your residence. If it leaks or drips, we can find it and seal it off so water no longer escapes from its proper place. Afterward, your family no longer needs to worry about why it feels so muggy and hot during summer or damp and chilly during the winter.

Cabinets are not the only structures rebuilt after ridding a house of excess mold. Flooring around a bathroom sink, toilet, tub, or shower stall can also become weak from mold growth. Drywall in certain rooms can become inundated with microbes when a window leaks rain inside, or a roofing shingle does the same. We repair the opening that has let rain and snow in and cut away and restore the materials, making everything "Like it never even happened."

Calling SERVPRO® of Norwich and Windham County at (860) 887-0447 is often the first step for many homeowners toward protecting their property. We're always nearby and ready when you need us.
