Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

Mold is one of the most underrated conditions that can affect homes and businesses from Washington to Warrenton, and it requires experience and effective equipment to overcome these damaging conditions fully. Our SERVPRO team has advanced tools to go with our extensive training and education through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to become certified Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT).

To overcome these often-widespread effects in properties throughout the Greater Augusta area, we have acquired industry-leading equipment such as HEPA air filters and air scrubbers to manage mold spores in the environment. We can also utilize our OSHA-approved, environmentally conscious products that can kill microbial growth on contact. This spray can often be a much less invasive approach than sanding and soda blasting.

Our AMRTs have experience in containment and recovery of mold-damaged homes and businesses throughout our service area. Whenever you discover a colony, you can count on our SERVPRO team.

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because removing all mold from a house or business is impossible; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
