SERVPRO Mold Removal Lowers Microbes to Safe Levels

Mold damage can prove distressing and unsafe for Los Angeles homeowners to tackle without professional assistance. Homeowners may consider attempting DIY cleanup, but mold mitigation without proper protection and containment can unintentionally spread spores, putting occupants at risk of potential health effects.

SERVPRO cannot guarantee total mold removal for Los Angeles properties due to the nature of microbes. However, they can reduce spore populations to safe, pre-disaster levels that restore indoor air quality and salvage structural integrity and belongings.

SERVPRO availability is essential for mold mitigation

24-hour service is a must for keeping mold damage and other disasters to a minimum. With this in mind, SERVPRO's solution is to be constantly available for mitigation and typically ready to meet with clients within hours of initial contact about their mold problems.

In as little as a week, mold spores can:

  • Start growing or accelerate growth within 24 to 48 hours of increased moisture with adequate temperatures and  limited ventilation
  • Eat away at adhesives, wood, drywall, and other structural materials and porous organic materials by digesting them and reproducing spores
  • Spread through HVAC ducts without proper sealing of vents and air pressure control to prevent this
  • Render upholstery, mattresses, and contaminated carpeting potentially unsalvageable
  • Become a biohazard issue that exacerbates water damage, flooding, or fire damage concerns greatly 

SERVPRO remediates mold with procedures like containment with polyethylene sheeting, duct sealing, sanitation with EPA-registered biocides, and structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers. Sanitation, drying, and careful cleaning and disposal of dormant spores can ensure that spore populations stay at a minimum so that homeowners can enjoy their property once more.

When homeowners need remediation, We're Faster To Any Size Disaster. Call (213) 628-2000 for 24/7 mitigation from SERVPRO of Silver Lake / Echo Park.
