SERVPRO Can Assist with Mold Inspections in Commack
Anytime a slow leak occurs in one of your water pipes, it is possible that organic materials around it can get wet. If wooden or paper items in your home remain moist for more than two days, fungi can form. Since mold can cause health effects, it is wise to remediate the issues as soon as you see a black fungus begin to develop.
When remediating mold damage in Commack, our SERVPRO technicians start by figuring out the source of the moisture. We can use non-penetrating moisture meters to trace the water to a leak. We can also utilize infrared imaging to use temperature changing to find the moisture source.
After we repair the source, we can then take steps to remediate the contamination. First, we can set up a containment chamber in the affected area to prevent spores from spreading. Once the affected region gets contained, we can conduct the following:
- Bathroom Mold Remediation
- Attic Mold Remediation
- Black Mold Inspections
- Applied Structural Drying (ASD)
- Mold Debris Removal
If the black mold is visible on the surface of your building materials, we can use various methods to get rid of the contamination. We can use sanding, scrubbing, or soda blasting techniques to remove surface contamination. Next, we can then take steps to dry out your affected contents and building materials so that a fungus does not form in the same area in the future. We can conduct ASD by setting up a combination of air movers and dehumidifiers. The air movers help push moisture out of your building materials, and the dehumidifiers can pull water from the air and dispense it in liquid form.
If you ever happen to see a black substance forming on the surface of your walls or other items, call SERVPRO of Greater Smithtown at (631) 518-3720.
