Containment for Mold Remediation Services
Consider any disaster that your business faces. You want to get ahead of the situation and establish parameters to keep conditions from worsening for your employees or customers. The same premise translates to mold cleanup and remediation services when discovering microbial growth in your facilities. SERVPRO arrives fast to contain the spread with:
- Physical barriers
- Negative pressure
- Air filtration
Building Containment Structures
The first step in any mold cleanup for Seminole offices and commercial structures contains the immediate threat of becoming a more significant concern. Mold spreads quickly, and active spores find any path possible to reach new hosting materials. Containment walls and plastic barriers are necessary to keep the work area from circulating spores and debris to unaffected areas.
Utilizing Negative Pressure
Because air naturally moves from higher to lower pressure, responding remediation professionals must often manipulate environmental conditions to suit the cleanup better. Negative pressure prevents the movement of active mold spores using an intricately constructed ventilation system. Think of a vacuum suctioning up dirt from a carpet.
Filtering the Air with HEPA Products
HEPA filtration is one of the steps to overcoming airborne particulates that could spread mold organisms to new areas of your facility. These products often feature a membrane trap to grab microbes and spores as small as 0.3 microns.
Moisture Monitoring Through Remediation
Tracking the progression of mold and mildewing through the building can be an essential step of the remediation process, even after initially determining the presence of microbial growth. While air sampling is helpful, it is often less directly beneficial than tracking moisture content throughout the structure, which could indicate further damage. We have moisture monitoring tools and sensors to locate damp pockets.
Your business may not always have to close its doors when facing mold damage. The cleanup and remediation processes are thorough, but SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches professionals are experts with containment to keep you going through the process. Call us now at (727) 391-6212.
