Moisture Invites Mold into Your Sacramento Home--SERVPRO Is a Remediation Champion!

Mold Containment Strategies for Sacramento Homes

With fungal and microbial growth occurring in a moist or damp area of your Sacramento home, you might find yourself uncertain of how to remove the colonies safely without affecting the occupants of the house or allowing the situation to get worse for structural elements. Our applied microbial remediation technicians have extensive training in identifying the full scope of the damage to your property and working quickly to prevent the situation from worsening while removal gets underway.

Containment strategies are a big component for our mold damage remediation and restoration work in your Sacramento home. These tactics help to eliminate the likelihood of mold spores spreading to new areas throughout the property while drying and removal efforts begin. Our SERVPRO professionals have state of the art equipment and effective strategies to contain the spread of colonies from our initial arrival at your address.

Among the first steps to contain the spread of mold spores throughout your home is to set up hydroxyl generators and air scrubbers within the affected areas. These machines can trap spores and particulates as small as 0.3 microns and help to reduce activity throughout this damaged region of your property.

Drying out the damaged areas of your home can also help to reduce the spread of mold spores throughout the property noticeably. Colonization requires damp surfaces and materials, so dropping the relative moisture levels throughout problematic areas of the property can reduce the possibility of spreading.

The work area where the damage has occurred also gets surrounded by a thick plastic sheeting. This sheeting is a stable line of defense against active mold spores moving throughout this environment. Nearby surfaces get sprayed with an antimicrobial solution as well to make them uninhabitable for these spores should any get beyond the installed containment area.

Removal of active mold colonies within your home can help to preserve currently unaffected structural elements from degradation and work to prevent potential health effects your family could experience once exposed to a colony.
