SERVPRO Assists with Mold Damage Restorations in Concord

While fungi commonly exist outdoors, if they start to form inside your structure, they could cause health effects. Once a fungus develops on an organic food source like building materials made from paper or wood, it can grow in all directions. The structures formed are called hyphae, and once they start to develop, they release seed-like spores into the air. These spores can then float around the atmosphere inside your building until they find another place with prime fungal growth conditions to form. 

During mold damage restorations in Concord, our SERVPRO technicians first figure out how the fungi formed. Since we know that a fungus needs moisture and the ideal temperature to grow, we first find the source of the water. For example, mold developing in your attic could result from a slow roof leak.

Before we begin conducting any work procedures, we can shut off the water or temporarily stop the leak so that no more moisture enters. We can then seal off the affected room/rooms with thick plastic and attach an air scrubber to remove harmful particles from the air of the affected areas. We can also spray the affected area with a fungicide like Sporicidin, which can kill spores released by the fungi.

Next, we can work towards removing the contamination from your building materials and structural components. If the fungus has grown on the surface of your wall studs or ceiling trusses, we can sand or soda blast away the contamination. We can then use a sealant paint to seal the affected wood so mold can form again. If the affected materials are still wet, we can set up air movers and dehumidifiers to remove the moisture.
