Every mold infestation is different. They vary from the amount of mold, to the types of materials affected. Each scenario requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge's process for a “typical” mold remediation infestation:
Emergency Contact - (570) 235-1646
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Mold Containment
Air Filtration
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
Cleaning Contents and Belongings
Restoration

The picture below is of a current mold remediation project at a home in Moosic, Pa. The home sat idle for an extended period of time with high moisture and limited air movement, resulting in this mold infestation. Pictured is the containment to stop the spreading of the air bourne mold spores and the air scrubber working to clean the air. A dehumidifier was also employed to address the moisture problem.The air duct system will also need to be cleaned to ensure that the spores are not spread throughout when the system is operating.

SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge uses the latest techniques and equipment to address a wide variety of mold situation and to ensure the home or business owner returns to a safe living environment.

If your home or business has a mold issue call the Scranton areas leader in mold remediation at (570) 235-1646.
