You can Rely on SERVPRO® for Quick and Efficient Mold Remediation in Berkeley Heights
Spotting attic mold can be quite a distressing experience for any homeowner. Mold remediation experts like SERVPRO can help control the damage and restore your Berkeley Heights home “Like it never even happened.”
SERVPRO experts follow the IICRC S520 guidelines during the mold remediation of your Berkeley Heights home. After thoroughly inspecting the property, our mold specialists use a multi-faceted approach to clean the contamination without spreading mold spores to unaffected areas.
Role of Containment in Mold Removal
Containing the damage is one of the most crucial aspects of SERVPRO's mold remediation strategy. Mold spores are microscopic particles that quickly become airborne after being dislodged during cleaning.
SERVPRO techs use different types of containments and engineering controls to ensure that the mold fragments and spores don’t infiltrate the unaffected areas of your property. We use the following types of containments depending on the extent of the damage:
- Source Containment: We use plastic sheeting directly over affected areas to isolate contaminants at their source and prevent their immediate spread.
- Local Containment: SERVPRO techs establish local containment by creating barriers around smaller, localized areas. These barriers typically include a single layer of 6-mil plastic sheeting, ideal for less extensive mold growth.
- Full Containment: Our techs use full containment for larger, heavily contaminated spaces. This method consists of floor-to-ceiling barriers, airlocks, and negative air pressure that effectively prevent the spread of mold spores.
SERVPRO techs use the appropriate type of containment depending on the situation and brief you about it before we start working.
Negative Air Machines in Mold Remediation
Negative air machines are essential in mold remediation containment. These devices create negative pressure within the containment area, drawing airborne contaminants into HEPA filters, which trap mold spores and other particles. It prevents spores and fragments from escaping into surrounding areas, ensuring a safer and more effective remediation process.
