When you find mold growing on the bricks of your home or in any other spot, contact SERVPRO to figure out the cause and remediate the damage.

Team SERVPRO Has the Experience to Root Out the Cause of the Mold Infestation in Your Home

Mold and mildew can grow anywhere moisture, and consumable cellulose congregates together in your Bergen County residence. While brick and concrete pieces may not seem porous, in reality, these two durable substances can hold a significant amount of both debris and moisture.
 
Homes can suffer mold damage in Bergen County in other ways that destroy softer materials such as drywall and paneling, furniture, and carpeting, among other items. SERVPRO can send out technicians certified by the IICRC in Applied Microbial Remediation (AMRT) to protect your property. Our technicians know how to set up enclosed areas that keep spores and moldy dust from spreading to uncontaminated areas of your residence. We use methods similar to what many hospitals implement when dealing with viruses and bacteria they need to keep confined.
 
Just as importantly, we take care when removing materials covered in mold, as well as how we dispose of these items. Using double bags to contain these items before we carry them out of your home helps keep them from tearing holes through which microbes could escape. Because we truly want to contain the problem, we always use HEPA filters on our air scrubbers and vacuums. These filters easily capture spores and other particles that can spread mold.
 
Treating areas that might remain prone to mold infestation and subsequent damage from microorganisms, we can address these locations with antimicrobial sprays. We apply these in a wet spray that quickly dries to a safe and invisible substance. We use wet sprays to view our progress better and ensure that no areas remain unprotected.
 
When belongings sustain mold infestations, damage can happen quite rapidly. We can also spray these areas with the same antimicrobial agents to halt the damage, and then clean them to remove any odors left behind. When odors persist in your home, we can also aid you in resolving this problem. Thermal fogging with the correct agents can keep odors from developing any further.
