Cleaning Up Mold Damage Fast for Homes
Mold can be one of the most threatening situations a home faces because many property owners do not recognize the issue until it is widespread and hazardous.

Evaluating the Home's Condition
Mold inspections are an essential part of the remediation process because it allows our SERVPRO team to appreciate the scope of the work to come. Evaluating the home's condition shows where pressing concerns exist and how to best help when remediation gets underway.
Effective Remediation Is a Matter of Approach
SERVPRO uses several approaches for mold remediation and cleanup. Some of the key methods to get your home to preloss condition include:
- Cleaning Products
Surface cleaning is where much of the remediation work begins in homes and businesses, as this is the least invasive and intrusive solution. Sporicidal agents can destroy surface mold growth and inhibit the further development on sensitive construction materials.
- Sanding
Wood framing and similar construction elements can benefit from sanding practices to remove mold infestations. This mold damage can be regulated so that these materials can be removed.
- Media Blasting Options
Abrasives like sodium bicarbonate are mild bases, making them excellent for cleaning and surface organism removal without destroying the underlying substrate hosting the spores.
- Demolition
The most direct and permanent measure of mold remediation is removing the affected material entirely. When the construction element hosting the colony is damaged beyond repair, this eliminates the mold and prevents further damage
Will This Threat Go Away Naturally?
It is important to note that mold is unlikely to go away on its own. The production and spread of active organisms become an increasingly worse condition for the property, particularly when the means of providing moisture to the environment is not rectified. Professional remediation is exclusively designed to remove active colonization of mold organisms and prevent recurrences. Our SERVPRO team's experience helps you get back to your normal house conditions fast with effective microbial removal and post-mold cleanup.
Eliminating Post-Mold Odors
Malodors are an issue with mold development from the first onset of mold damage in your home or business. In many ways, a musty smell can indicate colonization even before physical signs appear on surfaces in the immediate area. This same sensory obstacle remains even after much of the remediation process completes. We have multiple deodorization practices and products to neutralize harsh and offensive smells tied to microbial development. Fogging is among the most effective and versatile, allowing vapor to penetrate trapped odors in building materials and open area malodors.
Mold Damage Repairs
Repairs are another way our professionals must address the damage that mold can do to a property. Often, controlled demolition is one of the most effective and direct means of eliminating heavily infested hosting materials, but that leaves build-back services necessary to return your home to preloss condition. Our general contractor license allows us to complete the required reconstruction and rebuilding to restore comfortable living conditions and make it "Like it never even happened."
