Mold remediation is no DIY project. SERVPRO trained technicians have the experience and equipment for every size disaster.

Homeowners Should Understand Mold Remediation

Remediating and removing active mold threats in a household is not as straightforward as many believe. There are layers of recovery, each determined by the phase of mold exposure and colonization your property is currently experiencing:

• Phase One – The mold has begun to impact the surface
• Phase Two – The infestation extends just beyond the surface
• Phase Three – Intruding organisms severely damage materials

Surface Cleaning with Sporicidal Products

Our first look at damage and mold remediation in Norwich homes involves the products we can apply to impacted surfaces to make a difference. Before severe exposure occurs, sporicidal agents can eliminate microbial spores and mold organisms threatening the structure without requiring more invasive measures.

Abrasive Cleaning Through Blasting or Sanding

More abrasive cleaning is often needed when surface treatment solutions are deemed inefficient. When putting media like dry ice or baking soda under pressurized air, we can eradicate colonies on the surface of hosting materials. These units are particularly effective with irregular surfaces like the joists of flooring from the basement to the main level of the house.

When In Doubt, Take It Out

While we attempt other remediation practices first, there are some situations where controlled demolition is the only suitable solution that can help. We have experienced professionals with a general contractor license to complete this work alongside other remediation actions. Our objective is to complete tear-out and the necessary build-back services as promptly as possible to limit the total restoration and recovery time for house occupants.

Understanding the actions of remediation professionals when working in your home can put you at ease with this process. It is easy to become overwhelmed with the disarray of the situation and how invasive certain mold removal practices can appear.
