Mold Damaged Belongings

Summer is a time of vacations and relaxing outdoors with friends and relatives. Picnicking at the parks in Teaneck is a favorite way to accomplish making every member of your group happy simultaneously. Returning home afterward can introduce any living hitchhikers you or your family members' clothing or shoes picked up while out having fun.

Teaneck parks and greenways are home to many living organisms, including those that can cause mold damage when introduced to the confines of a home. Microbial activity flourishes when the correct environment exists, and being as small as they are, fungi and mold particles are almost invisible until a colony exists. There is no reason to avoid parks, however, as every home already contains several types of mold and mildew waiting for moisture to trigger their growth.

Laundering clothing removes microorganisms and flushes them safely down the drain, keeping them from harming your home. Using the dryer to heat up and dry out any dampness held in blankets used on the ground can diminish the chances that mold grows.

One of the hardiest creatures on the planet, fungi is always waiting to destroy things. Storing belongings with even the slightest bit of moisture or dampness can permit mold to grow and heavily soil or damage them. Mold and mildew proliferate readily in the correct environment. Lack of sunlight, an enclosed place free of heavy drafts, and some moisture in one spot gives micro organisms the exact formula needed to colonize an area. Going to the park is not the only situation that can create a microbial explosion in your home.

The main concern with combating fungal growth inside any home is keeping moisture at a beneficial level, in every area, and at all times. SERVPRO technicians can determine where moisture levels have become too high and pose a risk for microbial infestation. We can also detect the source of the moisture, if the source is an ongoing one, such as a leak, drip, or heavy condensation. Once detected, stopping it from producing any additional problems is often an easily accomplished task.

Restoring personal belongings once mold damages them should be carried out by professionals who hold certifications in Applied Microbial Remediation (AMRT). SERVPRO employees hold these certificates, and many others, proving their ability to rid your home of microbial growth and restore your property from mold damage. Cleaning your belongings from moldy grime can occur at your home or within our facility. If taken to our location, we package and box these up as if they were our own – with care and attention to details, so they face no additional damage.
