Edgewater, NJ Mold Damage Remediation

Mold can be costly and damaging to many structures. Whether it impacts the Edgewater Public Library and its volumes of works or your single-family home along the Hudson, the same urgency is necessary to get the active colonies removed and the property protected.  

Providing Your Edgewater Home Focused Remediation Solutions 

Remediation is a system of actions taken to remove and eliminate active mold colonization within a home or business. Because these threats can develop fast, we must choose remediation actions carefully. Some of these include: 

  • Surface cleaning
  • Sanding
  • Soda blasting
  • Controlled demolition
  • Black mold damage repairs
  • Mold removal products 

Can Mold Inspections Help Make Remediation Efficient?

Inspecting a property after mold damage can be a vital step in learning what a structure needs. Mold can migrate quickly through open space, so mold inspections' objectives are to deduce what surfaces and building materials could be potential hosts for a migrating colony. We can also inspect contents for clear signs of damage. 

How Can Mold Get Removed from Edgewater Attics? 

Edgewater homes and businesses can be particularly affected by storm damage and moisture penetration. When moist conditions persist in areas like the attic or underground storage, mold can develop after only a few days. Our experienced remediators can work fast to apply surface treatments and aggressive remediation tactics when necessary.

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because it’s impossible to remove all mold from a house or business; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. 
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return. 
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:

Step 1: Emergency Contact - (201) 496-6024

The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel.

Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the mold damage by carefully inspecting your property for visible signs of mold. Since mold can be hidden, we use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources. 

Step 3: Mold Containment

To keep the mold spores from spreading further, we will use various mold containment procedures. Our professionals may use physical barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the contaminated area and to help prevent the mold spores from spreading through your Edgewater, NJ home or business. Also, we’ll turn off the property’s fans and heating and cooling systems to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

We use powerful air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other filtration equipment to remove microscopic mold spores out of the air. This air filtration process and our mold containment process help to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. We’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. It may be necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to remediate heavy mold growth.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

SERVPRO of Fort Lee will use a variety of cleaning techniques and products to clean your furnishings and personal belongings. Since mold infestations also cause a persistent musty odor, our professionals are also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
