SERVPRO of Bloomington remediated this house of mold damage, and can help you, too.

Understanding the mold remediation process is a crucial first step in determining whether or not you have a mold problem.

SERVPRO of Bloomington has certified and trained technicians who will make an appointment to visit your home and assess the situation. Our technicians will walk you through the process, share their knowledge and help you identify whether or not you need mold remediation.

Testing may be useful to determine the type of growth and its prevalence. Testing for mold will be conducted by professionals who have specific experience in designing mold sampling protocols, sampling methods and interpreting results.

When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:

• Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
• Mold spores are microscopic, 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 a pet.
• Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
• 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 that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
• Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. SERVPRO of Bloomington is your trusted leader in commercial and residential mold damage restoration.
