Mold Mitigation in West Seneca, NY by SERVPRO of East Erie County

SERVPRO of East Erie County was called to inspect a water damage for an elderly customer who couldn't go in her basement.  During the inspection SERVPRO discovered multi-colored growths covering contents and structure.  An Industrial Hygienist was brought in to test and design a written protocol to bring the property back to acceptable levels and safe.  The flooring had to be covered in cardboard because some of the floor tiles were cracked that contained asbestos.  Safety is our top priority on all job sites.  The job took 8 work days to remove all damaged content, thoroughly clean, hepa vacuum and seal all areas. 

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold 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 on a pet.
• Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. 
• 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.
