SERVPRO Delivers Long Term Results by Focusing on the Sources That Keep Triggering Mold Growth in a Property

If the mold problem in your Marina Del Rey property keeps recurring, there is a chance the problem is failure to identify the mold triggers. So even if you keep changing remediation approaches, it might be challenging to get long-term results.

Mold manifests differently, so it is essential to note all the signs before implementing mold remediation in your Marina Del Rey property. You may be dealing with a musty smell, dark patches on surfaces such as walls and ceilings, or even stains on fabrics. Whatever the sign is, it is crucial to note that mold grows in an indoor environment with favorable conditions, so SERVPRO focuses on early identification.

The main conditions that favor mold include:

• Abundant moisture
• Minimal natural light
• Sufficient organic food sources

When mold keeps recurring, there is a chance that the remediation procedures you are using are not drying materials thoroughly. Leaving heavily contaminated porous materials in place after remediation can also cause problems since the mold hyphae penetrate deep into such materials minimizing the effectiveness of cleaning and other procedures to eliminate them.

You can only realize long-term results if you investigate what triggers mold in your property before starting remediation processes. Our SERVPRO technicians use different tools to confirm there is no moisture problem in your house. For instance, thermo-hygrometers help ensure that relative humidity levels in all your rooms do not exceed 60%. Thermal cameras help establish hidden moisture or leaks in wall, ceiling, or floor cavities.

After dealing with moisture, it is essential to perform the other necessary remediation processes, such as removing mold debris. Our SERVPRO technicians use thorough methods such as HEPA vacuuming and damp-wiping surfaces with antimicrobial products.
