SERVPRO Helps Greenwood Homes Perform Safe Mold Cleanup

Water intrusion events are a common cause of mold growth, especially if mitigation is not enforced immediately. Some of these problems are not as easy to detect. For example, a leaking pipe inside the walls of your Greenwood home may go unnoticed for a long time. You may never see the usual signs of damage if the water collects behind tiled walls.

If you sniff something musty, you need mold remediation in your Greenwood home since odors are a good sign of a mold source nearby. Some species, however, do not give off odors. More subtle hints may pop up, such as yellow, brown, or orange discoloration of walls. Depending on the organic substance that has been affected, colors may vary. SERVPRO professionals help homeowners determine if they have mold growing in their homes and offer guidance on the best approaches.

Mold on drywall leads to

• Rotting baseboards
• Contents cross-contamination
• Damage within wall cavities

When walls have visible signs of mold, the colonies may have already spread to the furniture adjacent to that wall. Moving it out of the room before cleaning may lead to cross-contamination.

How to perform safe remediation

To check for infestation inside drywall, SERVPRO cuts a small section and uses a bore scope to inspect cavities visually. Based on our observation, we make containments to protect occupants. Our technicians install containment around the doors, in the AC vents, and 6-mil polyethylene on the windows. We then set up the air purification device to trap any particulate residue from the air while the work goes on. We always have our team wear PPEs.

Other effective measures

• Wire brushing semi-porous materials like wood
• Damp wiping surfaces with antimicrobial detergent
• Dry off the wall cavities and other enclosed spaces
