Why SERVPRO for Professional Mold Remediation Services in Santa Ana

The possibility of mold growth is a constant in Santa Ana. The tiny spores of 100,000 plus fungi identified so far are outside and inside every residence, floating in the air and settling on every surface. Until they encounter water, mold spores cause few problems. When they absorb moisture, their life cycle begins, resulting in large mold colonies in your home. If faced with a growing mold problem, we can help. 

Mold damage in Santa Ana is not particular about the source of the water that fuels it. A flooding event or major plumbing fail can be the reason, but the cause is often more mundane. Household spills and overflows can be fuel if not thoroughly cleaned up and dried out. Tiny leaks under a sink or a clogged drain under a freezer or an AC condenser offer mold an opportunity. We even see circumstances where persistently high humidity levels were providing enough moisture for mold growth. 

Mold Inspection

Upon arrival at your home, the SERVPRO technicians assess the extent of the mold infestation. We investigate whether additional mold hides behind walls, above a ceiling, or under flooring. Our mold remediation procedure follows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protocols and Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification standards. Our goal is to rid your property of active mold colonies, reduce the number of mold spores to normal levels, and help you arrange for the moisture source's elimination to prevent future outbreaks. 

The EPA recommends containment of the moldy area, and we use physical barriers such as heavy-duty plastic sheeting to delineate the contaminated area. Containment keeps uncontaminated areas of your home free of mold debris. A heightened strategy to prevent drift can be negative air pressure and ductwork inside the containment space to filter out spores and moldy residues. 

Mold Removal

SERVPRO technicians dress in personal protective gear during work shifts and scrape the mold off nonporous surfaces. We employ abrasive techniques like soda blasting to loosen and remove the root-like hyphal fragments from porous structures. HEPA filtered vacuums remove the particles on surfaces after the main removal phase. All moldy material, including any structural components too contaminated to restore, are bagged and disposed of following local hazardous waste codes. 

EPA-registered antimicrobials treat surfaces to inhibit future fungal growth after the SERVPRO crew disposes of the debris. We ensure all areas receive the appropriate application of the disinfectant and continue the containment until the all-clear according to the labeling precautions. Throughout the project, your and your family's safety is paramount.
