St. Anthony Mold Damage Remediation Can Be Complex, Why SERVPRO Experts Are Key

Mold damage in St. Anthony homes stirs up some mixed emotions. It is common to feel that mold growth and damage is embarrassing, evidence that homeowners are negligent in cleaning, maintenance, and repair. Mold damage is related to just three factors:

• The ubiquitous presence of mold spores in every St, Anthony home
• Oxygen
• Lingering water or moisture absorbed into building materials.

Is St. Anthony Mold Damage Easy to Locate?

When a home in St. Anthony has mold damage, you might not even notice it because the leaks and spills of water that fuel an outbreak often hide behind walls and in cabinets or occur in the attic or basement. When it covers the surface behind a wall or high in the rafters, it is invisible or looks grimy from a distance but lacy, feathery, leathery, or like tiny mushrooms up close. Bathroom mold removal efforts in tub corners or on shower doors target black or pink smears, involving not dirt but interlinked colonies of organisms germinated by water or humidity and munching on organics like soap scrum mixed with hair and skin cells. Locating mold damage might require testing for moisture and mold spore counts, why SERVPRO’s expertise in mold inspections, remediations, and removal comes in handy.

What Do Professional Mold Remediators Do to Eliminate Mold?

A reputable St. Anthony mold abatement contractor does not claim to eliminate mold, why SERVPRO stresses its role as a mold remediator, capable of clearing the colonies of current mold infestations using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protocols of:

• Containment
• Mechanical moldy debris removal
• Application of preventive registered antimicrobials

Then we shift to moisture management to avoid subsequent outbreaks and achieve sustainable mold remediation outcomes.
