Mold Damage In Hyde Park
If your employees and customers are complaining of a musty, stale odor, it could indicate that there may be a mold problem. Many Hyde Park commercial owners are loath to investigate, preferring to focus on running the business; however, if there is a stale, musty odor, it usually indicates a healthy mold colony is growing.
SERVPRO provides mold remediation services in Hyde Park and surrounding areas. We have been providing mold, fire, water, and storm damage restoration and remediation services in the area since 1995. Our teams are available 24hours /7 days a week and usually respond in less than 4 hours.
Mold colonies may appear on surfaces in damp or high moisture areas. Mold can also penetrate porous materials causing permanent damage to structures. Depending on the infestation, we offer a variety of services, including:
- Mold spore testing
- Controlled demolition to reduce cross-contamination
- Evaluation of moisture sources and containment
- Antimicrobial sprays and air scrubbers with HEPA filters
Our staff of AMRT – Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians, can answer all of your questions and provide a plan to remove any mold contamination.
Can My Business Remain Open During Mold Remediation?
Every situation is different and must be evaluated. The process of removing mold-contaminated materials can cause the distribution of mold spores into the air and the building. If possible, SERVPRO can set up negative pressure areas inside your office or commercial space to protect other areas. Anyone exposed to high concentrations of mold spores should protect themselves:
- Full body suits with hoods
- Rubber and latex gloves
- Eye protection or full face masks
- Wear respirators
- Training in applied microbial remediation
At SERVPRO, we take mold infestations very seriously, and we urge our customers to do so as well. We can assess your infestation, develop a plan to remove the mold, and provide recommendations regarding remaining open during mold remediation activities.
