Successful Mold Remediation - It's in the Details

Mold and mildew are tiny microorganisms that can cause substantial destruction. Qualified mold remediation technicians can rescue your family's belongings from these destructive microbes. If you have found mold or mildew colonies within your Ft. Lauderdale home, you need to begin taking steps to get the situation resolved.

Microbes settle everywhere inside a residence, but it is where organic compounds meet moisture that problems develop. When damp materials begin harboring mold inside a Ft. Lauderdale house, mold remediation professionals are ready to make everything "Like it never even happened."

Organic materials are everywhere inside the typical home. Damp conditions are something our trained technicians can locate and then eliminate. Here are just a few examples of the types of items that your family might want to save from the effects of musty microbes:

  • Books and
  • Children's items.

Rescuing wet, saturated books covered by mold is nearly impossible, but we can often save moldy books that have sustained only minor dampness. The earlier we begin, the better chances mold-infested books have of a satisfactory recovery. A custom-built negative pressure chamber assists us by creating a drying environment while keeping loosened microbes safely away from unaffected areas of your home. Dry sponges and stiff brushes with rounded-tipped bristles remove dry mold particles. Deodorization through activated charcoal pellets can help with remaining odors, although some older books might always retain all unpleasant odors.

If wooden toys or children's furniture develop mold, they need a thorough cleaning, followed by a conditioning agent. SERVPRO uses mild wood soaps that do not damage any underlying finishes or painted surfaces. Afterward, we apply a cream conditioner that prevents over-drying and cracking. Wherever we discover mold has marred the finish, we re-apply additional coats of matching varnish or paint.

Area residents are encouraged to call SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale South at (954) 776-2000 for all their remediation and restoration needs.
