SERVPRO remediates mold damage to Cliffside Park homes and their contents

SERVPRO Evaluates Cliffside Park Properties and Provide Sufficient Restoration Resources

Since mold appears almost instantaneously, you may want to know whether remediation can be completed with the same speed. Although there is no standard mold remediation timeline, most incidents need at least a week to address all issues. After all, severe contamination also takes weeks or even months to develop. It is just that it is more likely to start in hidden areas, and by the time you notice signs, the damage is done.

Specific factors influence the time it takes to complete mold remediation in Cliffside Park homes. Inspecting the property helps reveal these factors. SERVPRO's Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians are IICRC certified, so you do not need a separate evaluation specialist.

Typical factors that influence mold remediation timelines include:

• Amount of mold involved
• Size of the property
• Resources available

The term amount of mold can mean different things, including the level to which it is embedded on materials or the total surface area covered. Given sufficient time the root-like mold hyphae embed themselves on structural materials causing significant deterioration. Remediation takes longer under such circumstances because of the extra effort needed to clean and remove structural materials. Our SERVPRO technicians use abrasive methods such as sanding on semi-porous surfaces. We also remove porous materials like drywall and insulation.

Resolving mold issues on larger properties takes longer because of bigger surface areas to clean, more materials to remove, or more cavity areas to fix. The challenge can be worse if resources are limited. SERVPRO is well prepared to tackle any level of mold contamination.

Resources necessary for mold remediation include:

• PPE such as rubber gloves and respirators
• Building tools like cutting and drilling equipment
• Fungicides and antimicrobial agents
• Dry cleaning resources like vacuum cleaners
• Moisture detection and management equipment
