Mold Removal vs. Mold Remediation in Westminster

5/13/2021 (Permalink)

Understanding the difference in mold removal and mold remediation is important.

SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada shares the differences in mold removal and mold remediation. We should understand that removing mold is nearly impossible because microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere naturally. However, if you find yourself in a mold situation in Westminster, call SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada and we will remediate the damage.

Mold, once exposed to moisture, can begin growing into colonies within 48 hours. Moisture sources that help mold grow include windows, air conditioning/heating units, leaks, pets, and even clothing materials. SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada has these tips to offer about mold remediation:

• Wear protective gear such as gloves, a mask, and eye protection
• Protect yourself by ventilating the area where mold is present
• Identify materials that have been exposed to moisture for over 24-48 hours
• Throw out whatever mold has destroyed, if you can do so safely
• Keep humidity at 40% or higher
• Ultimately, let SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada in the Westminster area remediate the mold safely and get your home or business back to normal. While we cannot prevent mold from happening, we can remediate the damage making it “Like it never even happened.”

An Important Note:

By law, only licensed professionals can remediate large areas. A “large area” is 10 square feet or more per the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA.)
