SERVPRO Can Perform Controlled Mold Demolition in Your Randolph Home
Mold removal is necessary since when people get exposed to the spores. For it to start growing, its spores, usually suspended in the air, have to land on a moist surface. When surfaces such as drywall get moisture, they create conditions for mold growth.
Our SERVPRO technicians can perform a mold inspection on your Randolph property. The first thing we do is to identify the source of the moisture and fix it before we can remove the mold. Below, we highlight some common causes of mold in most buildings. They include:
- Leaky appliances
- Condensation on walls or windows
- Flooding or water damage
- High humidity levels
- Poor Ventilation
Our team wears appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during mold remediation. For instance, we wear goggles, gloves, and respirator masks to protect ourselves from inhaling mold spores. We can achieve that by creating barriers with the help of plastic sheeting, and even closing windows and doors helps.
At this point, we are ready to perform controlled mold demolition by cutting out the affected areas. Below are some of the tools we use to make precise and clean cuts:
- Utility knife: We use it to groove the drywall along the affected areas so that it can break easily and be removed.
- Reciprocating saw: It is a powered tool that makes precise cuts through the sheetrock.
- Drywall saw: It has sharp teeth and a pointed tip that can cut through drywall.
- Circular saw: Can cut through sheetrock but is less efficient than the other two options.
Our SERVPRO technicians can use bleach and water to scrub the drywall's moldy areas during mold cleanup. Our team can then use dehumidifiers and fans to dry the mold remediation process. Later, we can replace the affected drywall and finally repaint the area.
