Early Measures to Improve New London Mold Remediation

Slowing Microbial Spread for Fast Mold Remediation
Water and flood damage can often lead to mold growth and microbial threats. When colonies exist in your house, spores can spread fast to migrate the organism throughout the structure. Early actions by SERVPRO professionals can slow this process.
Containing the Colonies
Mold remediation for New London homes must first focus on containment efforts to slow the movement of spores. Microbes find many pathways through a residence when active colonies exist, so initial containment measures are a barrier to opening to other house rooms and the HVAC system's returns and vents.
Sporicidal Agents and Inhibitors
Powerful products can also protect surfaces and contents from hosting mold colonies. Sporicidal agents used to eliminate active organisms on the surface of hosting materials can also serve as inhibitors to developing colonies.
The Need for Effective Drying
Drying can also be a way to make areas of the house less favorable for mold development, thereby stopping the movement of spores to new areas of the home. Air movers and dehumidifiers can regulate moist surfaces and environmental humidity, bringing them below the dampness level necessary to facilitate mold growth.
Starting Mold Remediation for Homes
After successfully slowing the progression of microbial spores in residence, we can focus on remediation efforts. Removing active colonies as thoroughly as possible is vital, as lingering mold organisms can continue to impact and damage the hosting materials. There are several possible mold removal strategies used by our SERVPRO team, including:
- Cleaning
- Dry ice blasting
- Abrasive cleaning
- Sanding
- Material removal
Early actions can help to reduce the pace of microbial migration in the structure. We prioritize efforts to minimize the destruction colonies can cause, and containment is a large component of this focus. Our SERVPRO of New London team can help with fast remediation solutions when you suspect mold development in your house. Call now at (860) 443-2222.
