Brooklyn homeowners benefit from SERVPRO's mold remediation services. From demolition to build-back, you can count on us!

Recurring Mold Damage Can Be Harmful

One thing is worse than mold growth in your home or apartment, and that is when the problem happens again and again. As leading remediation specialists, we have the technicians and the products to remove mold colonies. We also understand what your residence might need to keep that mold threat from returning once we leave.

Mold damage in Brooklyn homes can appear in several locations and be more widespread and intrusive than it appears on the surface. We must work to remove all the active mold organisms from the house, including what you might not initially see. Thorough removal practices are the first step in keeping mold gone for good. In performing actions to prevent a recurrence

we ask three questions:

• Where Did the Moisture Enter?

No mold and microbial threats to your home exist without moist conditions. When addressing mildew and mold, SERVPRO technicians must eliminate the penetration points for moisture and water damage.

• What Structural Damage Resulted?

Water damage can often destroy parts of the structure, leaving vulnerabilities that future moisture and dampness might exploit. Even if the initial threat has been resolved and repaired, a full scope of the property’s condition is vital to ensure all build-back is complete.

• Can Permanent Equipment Help?

It is possible that installing permanent machines like dehumidifiers can regulate moisture in the environment that keeps conditions favorable for mold growth.

Applying Mold Inhibiting Products

Another one of the effective ways that we work to keep mold from becoming a recurring threat to your home is by applying mold inhibitors. Antimicrobial agents can eliminate surface mold spores but continue as a barrier against further colonization for new growth.

Mold damage does not have to be a continuous and repetitive threat to your household. Call SERVPRO of Northwest Brooklyn at (718) 522-4400.
