SERVPRO says DIY mold remediation in your Norwich home is not the remedy, better left to our AMRT technicians, "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO Techs Have Extensive Training and Advanced Equipment to Handle Mold Damage in Norwich

Norwich properties can have a mold damage issue due to multiple reasons. If the conditions are favorable for sustaining mold growth, only Mold damage can occur in any Norwich structure when the conditions are good. Once established, the infestation can continue to spread until it gets properly mitigated.

SERVPRO technicians handling mold remediation in Norwich homes treat each job as unique and apply five core principles. This method ensures that each job has the best outcome by using the professional applications utilized by the techs. The five policies are:

• Ensuring safety and healthy choices are a priority
• Photo and written documentation of the damage
• Use of containment to inhibit the spread of airborne spores
• Proactive methods to halt the potential for cross-contamination
• Addressing the core cause of the elevated moisture sustaining the mold colonies

The use of containment is a critical part of any mold remediation job. Simply opening a door can create a reaction known as aerosolization, which can force mold spores into the interior. Airborne mold spores can float harmlessly both inside and outside of a home. However, when they encounter favorable temperatures and humidity levels, they can germinate and spread rapidly.

Another frequently used form of containment is negative air chambers. This setup captures and ports airborne mold spores and removes debris off-site away from the work area, to the exterior. Typically, containment walls of polypropylene sheets are erected with tension poles or taped to block access points like doors and windows.

The covering of the vents is critical as the HVAC system can become contaminated with spores and require cleaning. SERVPRO techs check the drain pans, filters, and piping. The airborne spores that enter the ductwork can wind up within the unit. When the techs clean the ductwork, they can also address the HVAC itself.
