Mold Damage Restoration

Discovering mold damage on your property is always frustrating. Failure to act immediately may destroy the floors and walls and cause other damage. With that in mind, it's crucial to know the signs to look out for to avoid such outcomes as a resident of Chicago.

The faster you spot mold damage in your Chicago home, the easier it is to do the remediation. But how can you fix all that when you do not have the right tools for the work? That is why you need service providers like SERVPRO, specializing in commercial and residential mold remediation. It is not that easy to notice mold when it is in its initial stages of growth - particularly when that is happening behind wallpapers and within the walls. Always call our team to inspect your property if you detect a strange smell.

Primarily, you should expect mildew growth after flooding or water damage. Since water flows freely and settles in different places, the resulting humid environments create favorable conditions for mildew growth. When our SERVPRO team responds to such incidents, we set up air movers and heaters to dry the area. Additionally, we can exterminate the spores by using thermal foggers, which dissipate antimicrobial agents.

Our IICRC trained SERVPRO technicians use air scrubbers to control surface mold, especially when it is resting on hard surfaces. If we notice it has contaminated porous materials such as carpeting and fabrics, we remove them from the area. We can introduce wire brushing, sanding, or damp wiping for semi-porous surfaces when doing the removal. HEPA vacuuming is also an option when removing loosely attached mold.

The remediation process also involves the use of mildew retardant paints that can suppress the unpleasant smells, leaving behind a clean and smooth area. IICRC certifies our technicians, which means we aim for the highest standards possible.
