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.

The entire borough, including areas like Van Nest, Fordham, and Locust Point all battle higher humidity levels throughout the year and deal with perpetual dampness that originates from groundwater and moisture. These effects can be damaging on their own, but they can also facilitate the growth of mold and fungus in your home or business, which can damage your property and also present potential health effects for those exposed to the organism spreading throughout the building.

Our SERVPRO of South Bronx team has leading equipment in the remediation niche of the restoration industry, and a roster of certified Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians accredited through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to run it. We can work quickly to address colonization with removal and containment strategies.

We also have industrial strength, environmentally friendly, cleaning and antimicrobial agents approved by OSHA for use in residential and commercial structures to make it uninhabitable for mold growth.

Understanding Mold

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 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.
