Seminole, FL Mold Damage Remediation

With many natural reserves and parks in the Greater Seminole area like Blossom Lake, Lake Seminole Park, and the Seminole City Park, humid conditions and flooding threats become a mindful threat to area residents. Persistent moisture impacting homes and commercial properties can lead to mold colonies' development, requiring swift mold removal and deodorization actions by our competent professionals. We can help with:

  • Mold remediation
  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Attic mold
  • Black mold
  • Mold specialists 

Can Mold Removal Vary in Seminole Properties?

Mold remediation can involve several strategies and techniques depending on the severity of the situation and the impacted hosting materials. As rapidly as mold organisms can spread in a residence, containment can be a vital effort to help regulate drying conditions and begin mold removal efforts. A mold inspection can determine which materials are damaged by active colonization and the appropriate actions. Surface treatments are among the most common solutions, including sanding, dry ice blasting, and antimicrobial cleaning. Only when these options are deemed inefficient does our team consider controlled demolition. 

Will Mold Remediation Resolve Harsh Odors in Seminole Homes?

Remediation strategies must also tackle another considerable hurdle in post-mold cleaning and restoration – black mold odors. Counteractants can reduce the severity of these smells in the environment and what becomes trapped in porous materials. The final deodorization efforts often involve tools like hydroxyl generators, ULV foggers, and HEPA air scrubbers.

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because it’s impossible to remove all mold from a house or business; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the 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 on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. 
  • 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.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:

Step 1: Emergency Contact - (727) 391-6212

We’re available 24 hours, 7 days a week to answer your phone call. Our consultant will guide you through this process, asking questions that will allow us to better understand your situation and to determine the needed equipment and personnel.

Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view. We use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.

Step 3: Mold Containment

Our professionals use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. We may use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

We use powerful air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other filtration equipment to remove microscopic mold spores out of the air. This air filtration process and our mold containment process help to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

Depending on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces involved, the mold remediation process can vary significantly. In general, we’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we may need to remove drywall, carpeting, and other porous materials.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches will use a variety of cleaning techniques and products to clean your furnishings and personal belongings. Since mold infestations also cause a persistent musty odor, our professionals are also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

During the remediation process, it’s often necessary to remove porous building materials like subfloors, drywall, and carpet. The restoration step returns your Seminole, FL home or business back to normal. Depending on the severity of mold damage, the restoration step may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, or it may involve a substantial reconstruction project.
