What SERVPRO Does During Mold Restoration in New London for Better Outcomes?

So you have dealt with the mold contamination at your New London home. What if it recurs after a short time? All the costs, time, and effort put into facilitating mitigation becomes a waste. Tackling mold remediation to prevent recurrence is the best approach. Steps such as finding moisture sources and removing heavily infested materials are necessary for such outcomes.

The outcomes of mold remediation in New London properties can vary significantly based on what you prioritize. For instance, if your main concern is how quickly you can eliminate the visible signs of mold, you are more likely to favor quick remedies rather than solutions that address the root of the problem. SERVPRO can help you get faster results without sacrificing thoroughness.

Crucial actions for long term results include:

  • Fixing any active leaks
  • Removing porous materials
  • Addressing humidity
  • Confirming there is no hidden wetness

Cleaning mold colonies from surfaces is crucial, but on its own, it cannot guarantee long-term results. Whether someone uses simple approaches such as damp wiping the affected areas with an antimicrobial detergent or advanced methods such as blast cleaning with something like dry ice, the contamination can recur if other steps are not taken,

Confusing Or Overlooking Issues

It is easy to confuse some aspects of restoration, thus overlooking crucial steps. For example, you probably know moisture is the main trigger for mold germination. However, you must follow a systematic approach when dealing with moisture. Finding active leaks and identifying all wet materials is essential. Stopping the leaks means no new moisture is introduced into the building. Identifying wet materials, especially in hidden areas, ensures they do not act as reservoirs. Our SERVPRO technicians easily probe moisture issues using specialized equipment.

Moisture evaluation in a moldy property requires

  • Thermal cameras
  • Moisture meters of sensors
  • Thermo-hygrometers

After identifying the moisture sources, thorough drying efforts are necessary. Our SERVPRO teams use a comprehensive drying approach involving air movers, dehumidifiers, and specialized cavity drying equipment.
