Mold Removal Should be a Priority When Microbial Colonies Form in Jacksonville Homes

Overcoming the threats of mold and microbial growth in your home begins with understanding what kind of damage these organisms can do. Mold and fungal infestations are widely underappreciated for their destructive capabilities. 

The Formation of Mold 

Understanding how mold forms and its effect on your home can showcase your need for professional mold removal companies in Jacksonville residences. Persistently moist conditions create an environment welcoming naturally occurring mold spores to colonize on organic surfaces. Once this process starts, several removal practices must get started as soon as possible, like:

  • Surface cleaning
  • Aggressive mechanical actions
  • Abrasive cleaning/blasting
  • Controlled demolition

Potential Health Effects 

Not all types of residential molds will cause health effects, but the damage has already become widespread when this determination can get made. For the sake of the impact on structural elements or other health effects, our IICRC Certified SERVPRO remediators should begin removal as soon as possible. 

Destructive Behaviors of Microbial Growth 

Active mold colonies require organic matter as a food source and supportive foundation for the growth and expansion of the organism. Therefore, materials like drywall that are already highly porous and easily damaged by changing conditions can be irreparably harmed by the formation of mold colonies. Instead of cleaning and reusing infested drywall, our professionals must often remove and replace it.  

Mold can be destructive and damaging to area homes and commercial structures, making it imperative to have effective solutions available for remediation and removal when necessary. Our SERVPRO of Pender / West Onslow Counties team is specially trained and certified through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in mold removal and microbial remediation.
