SERVPRO Gives You Peace of Mind by Addressing All Mold Issues at Your Levittown Home

When you discover mold at your Levittown, you should take action to restore preloss conditions. The necessary actions to take vary depending on the type of incident. In some cases, you might even need to vacate the property to pave the way for restoration. To avoid guesswork, you should involve a professional from the start.

Mold damage remediation in your Levittown home can be segmented into different categories of tasks, including cleaning, repairing, and restoration of destroyed areas. That means various skills and tools are necessary to complete the remediation exercise. SERVPRO is well stocked with simple and sophisticated tools for performing different tasks. IICRC certified microbial remediation technicians also evaluate damaged properties and fix the identified problems.

Some Tasks Should be Prioritized When Trying to Restore Mold Damage and Include:

• Repairing damaged plumbing systems
• Isolating the contaminated areas
• Drying wet materials

Unlike other issues, mold damage worsens the longer it remains unaddressed. Worsening can mean different things, including contamination of new areas or mold debris spreading from affected areas. Repairing plumbing lines or other leak sources limits the amount of moisture released, thus curtailing the chances of further spreading. Drying wet materials also ensure no further spreading. Since drying requires dehumidifiers, the air currents can distribute loose debris all over. Our SERVPRO IICRC trained technicians prevent this by setting up air-tight containments using plastic sheets.

Cleaning is an essential part of the remediation process and may be necessary for the entire house or just the affected areas. Our SERVPRO technicians base the approach on the contamination levels. If the home is heavily contaminated, we tear down sheetrock and insulation. Such teardown releases significant debris, necessitating general cleaning.

Necessary Cleaning Procedures When Dealing With Mold Include:

• Vacuuming surfaces
• Damp wiping with detergents
• Spraying antimicrobials and scrubbing structural elements
