Mold in Your Smithtown Home Can Become a Greater Risk if You Fail to Involve a Professional Mold Mitigation Team

When you see mold in your Smithtown home, you must take it very seriously. Excess moisture can become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold, which can pose a health hazard for your family. Finding the water leak source is the first essential step toward the remediation process, but the cleanup that ensues is just as important. Give yourself peace of mind by delegating your mold remediation needs to specialists.

We understand that time is of the essence, so we work quickly to thwart the growth of mold colonies throughout your home.

Call our 24/7 hotline as soon as you detect the problem, and let us put our expert team to work for you.

What Are The Steps To Remove Mold?

At its most basic level, mold grows wherever there is excess humidity. Our SERVPRO crew concentrates on controlling the moisture by using dehumidifiers, air movers, extraction wands, and other industry techniques. We monitor our progress using state-of-the-art measuring tools, such as infrared moisture meters. Following our training at the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), we focus on the following steps during the remediation process:

• Safety- this involves using personal protective equipment and limiting exposure to humans and the spread throughout your home.
• Documentation- recording each step and its results make for a thorough and efficient process.
• Finding the source- containing the start of the mold helps us reduce the airborne spread of bacteria, as does removing contaminated surfaces and materials as needed.

Once the cleanup process is over, we also set out to control your home's moisture levels to prevent a recurrence in the future.
