Overcoming Mold Effects in Your Minneapolis Home
One of the frightening things about disasters striking your Minneapolis home is the secondary effects that can develop from these occurrences. An instance of flooding or water damage, when improperly restored, can leave areas riddled with moisture and dampness. These persistent conditions can allow for mold growth, which not only threatens the structural integrity of your home but also those living inside of it.
When many people think of mold damages in their Minneapolis home, they think of instances like the harsh, musty odor that comes with an active colony. While this is one of the effects that our certified SERVPRO technicians must overcome when combatting mold growth in your house, it is, unfortunately, one of the less hazardous and problematic symptoms to restore.
One of the most critical aspects of mold remediation is isolating the active colony from continually spreading and thriving throughout the affected area. Our remediation technicians set up defenses to catch and trap mold spores moving throughout the environment with the use of negative air chambers and air scrubbers. These tools can help to section off the area housing the colony to make the removal more successful.
Removal of the mold is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our SERVPRO applied microbial remediation technicians have to assess the best course of action based on where the colony is, the degradation of the materials, and the type of material housing the colony. Sometimes the solution is applying a high-strength antimicrobial chemical to the affected area, other times sanding or soda blasting is the best approach, but in other circumstances, removal of the affected material might be the only credible approach to remove the colony entirely.
