Efficient Mold Removal from SERVPRO® Saves Mukilteo Homes from Long-term Damage  

Spotting mold in your home is never a good sign. However, hiring professionals like SERVPRO for mold removal can protect your Mukilteo home from long-term damage. 

SERVPRO’s IICRC-certified technicians use careful planning and the latest mold removal techniques in Mukilteo. Our mold specialists take proactive steps to minimize the aerosolization of mold fragments and spores during removal. We use the industry-standard IICRC S520 guidelines to improve efficiency.  

Engineering Controls in Mold Removal   

SERVPRO technicians aim to prevent mold particles from moving between clean and contaminated parts of your property, limiting the extent of mold damage. 

Here’s how we do it:

• Isolation and containment: SERVPRO techs set up physical barriers using heavy-duty 6-mil plastic sheeting to prevent mold fragments from spreading through affected areas. A barrier around the workspace stops contaminants from moving between different parts of the property. 
• Pressure differentials: Maintaining suitable air pressure throughout mold removal is necessary. During mold remediation, SERVPRO techs control the airflow direction using negative air pressure to keep mold spores inside the work area. This setup prevents mold spores from spreading out of the isolated area. 
• Air filtration devices: AFDs equipped with HEPA filters are critical in removing airborne mold spores, dust, and other contaminants. SERVPRO techs use HEPA filters to capture mold fragments and airborne spores, creating a safer environment. We position these devices strategically to continuously filter the air within the containment zone.

These engineering controls ensure thorough and safe mold remediation, preventing further damage to your property.

When to Restore and When to Replace? 

SERVPRO technicians assess your home's mold-contaminated contents based on material type, mold extent, and restoration feasibility. Porous items like upholstery and drywall often require disposal, as mold deeply embeds in fibers. 

We typically clean and restore nonporous materials like metal or glass. SERVPRO prioritizes restoration when safe and effective, balancing the cost of cleanup while ensuring your property is clean and mold-free.
