Applying bleach directly and scrubbing the surface is a short-term solution to mold damage. You need professional Fort Lee mold remediation services to stop it from coming back.

Why Does Mold Return After Bleaching A Surface?

The mold damage that reappears on surfaces in your Fort Lee home is likely a symptom of a larger microbial growth issue. Clearing away mold using disinfectant or bleach is a short-term method of controlling growth. However, if mold returns after cleaning, there is an underlying issue that could be spreading throughout your property. SERVPRO Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT) can identify the root causes of mold growth and perform the necessary steps to reduce and control it on your property.

Where can mold grow in my home?

• Inside wall, ceiling, or floor cavities
• Beneath furnishings or fittings
• On natural materials that are wet or damp

How do you fix recurring mold issues?

Finding the source of a mold problem is essential to remediation. Key signifiers of hidden mold growth in the home may be musty odors or visible signs of growth. These indicators suggest that the source of the issue may be behind a wall or on a hidden damp spot. To remove mold, we need to control moisture. Controlling moisture may include drying inside wall cavities or placing dehumidifiers in the affected area to slow mold growth. When cleaning colonies, it is essential to apply negative air pressure. Mold spores are microscopic and can spread unnoticed throughout your home. Negative air pressure provides a vacuum to prevent mold spores from spreading during aggressive remediation.

Identifying and remediating the source of mold is the only way to prevent it from returning. Contact SERVPRO of Fort Lee at (201) 496-6024 to stop mold from growing in your home.
