Mold containment is a big deal when it comes to mold remediation. This picture is of a mold job we did, and an example of how our trained professionals at SERVPRO of Oak Park/Ferndale do just that. We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. Our main goal is to not only remove the mold, but to make sure mold spores are not being spread during the clean up process.

We began demo this week on the summer home who need mold remediation of the entire home. This will be striped down the studs, the interior of the home and the garage. The remaining structure will be cleaned and sealed. This is a photo of some of the demo process. We'll keep you posted on the progress of this job and show you the mold remediation process.

This is a customer's summer home. At some point during the winter months when the home is unoccupied, the upstairs shower had a pipe leak/rupture that continued for quite some time. Due to the massive amount of water throughout the home as well as the extreme moisture cause the perfect conditions for microbial growth. The water sat untouched in the home for an undetermined amount of time, allowing for mold to grow on virtually every surface in this house. SERVPRO of Oak Park/Ferndale has just begun the mold remediation of this home. Due to the extent of the microbial growth, this will be a complete tear-out. Please stay tuned for the after photos of this mold remediation, to be posted next week, sometime after 06/19/2017.

When microbial growth has been found in a home, our SERVPRO technicians are required to suit up in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This is done not only for their health and safety, but for others as well. This way any spores that may get on them stay in the containment area as they will remove the PPE in a manner not to contaminate others or other areas in the home.
