Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

Mold Remediation in Philadelphia, PA

Mold creeps up on you if you don't check on things after a while.  If you recently experienced a water loss, mold can begin to grow in as little as 48 hours. Mold can appear in many different places such dark places, basements, baseboards, kitchens, cars, business, couches, cleaning appliances, you name it.  As long as the mold has organic matter for food, moisture, warmth, and oxygen it will grow wherever it wants.  It is highly recommended to take great precaution when dealing with mold especially if there are health effects in your Philadelphia household.  Airing out the area until it is cleaned is good to receive fresh air instead of breathing in the contaminated air with mold.  Call SERVPRO of South Philadelphia / SE Delaware County to help with the proper mold remediation by using specified equipment and antimicrobial chemicals to prevent any more growth.

Understanding Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
