Remediating mold is a task best left to professionals. Contact SERVPRO when you first see or smell mold in your home.

Team SERVPRO Understands How to Remediate Mold Damage in Your Home 

Mold damage occurs typically after a building has experienced water intrusion. It means to eliminate such challenges, stopping the source of the water should be the first step. After that, water extraction/removal and cleaning the affected items and surfaces follows. We are going to outline some of the techniques that professionals follow when attending to such incidents in Dublin.
 
When our SERVPRO technicians arrive at your property to address mold damage in Dublin, we begin by assessing the degree of damage and come up with a work plan. We know that mold can cause health effects and as a result, we use the relevant personal protective equipment. Some of the protective gear we use include cut-resistant and waterproof gloves, disposable earplugs, disposable coveralls, relevant protective head cover, work boots, and goggles. The N95 disposable respirator is usually recommended by OSHA when protecting against dust and mold.
 
During the remediation process, some of your contents may be restorable, and some may be unsalvageable. For instance, our SERVPRO technicians use cleaning solutions to wash non-porous contents such as metal, porcelain, jewelry, and glass. Depending on the situation, we can use a cleaning agent and a wet abrasive sponge to clean contaminated wood furnishing and later on do some refinishing.
 
We usually dispose of window conditioning units with some visible mold growth. By using anti-microbial detergents, we can clean the exterior parts of stereo equipment, TVs, and other expensive electronics that do not have running fans. It is also possible to salvage critical documents and photographs with minor levels of contamination by using damp paper towels and a detergent solution to wipe. By performing HEPA vacuuming, we can remove the mold and dust that settles on the floor when cleaning.
 
After cleaning your contents, our SERVPRO technicians must dry the area to prevent the mold damage situation from recurring. To enhance the drying process, we might set up air movers to circulate dry air within the structure. We can also perform dehumidification to remove humid air from the site. We do this by using a desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers.
