Mold Containment

This photo is from a recent mold remediation cleanup we did for one of our customers. 

Our professionals use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. We may use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread of mold.

Mold can develop where there is excess water and moisture over a period of time. 

In this photo we were called out to this home to remove mold that had developed over time. There was a water leak in the upstairs bathroom, right above this kitchen. The water went behind the cabinets and wasn't able to properly dry which caused the mold to develop.

Our crews were able to safely remove the mold.  

When a home suffers water damage, a mold infestation can quickly arise and spread throughout a home in 48-72 hours.  Because mold can produce allergens and irritants, you will want a professional that has training and experience to properly resolve the mold infestation.  

Since microscopic mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. Many restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy. We understand mold and mold growth. SERVPRO of Orland Park has the training and expertise to remediate the mold in your home or business.

This home had suffered significant mold damage due to some watere damage they had sustained that was not properly mitigated.  We were able to safely remove the mold for the homeowner. 

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same.  

We were called out to this business that had been severely damaged by mold.  The property was vacant and the owner did not realize there was extensive water damage that was not taken care of and this led to mold due to the conditions inside the building. 

In as little as 48 hours, mold can quickly become a problem in your home or business when there is a water intrusion like a roof leak or leaking water line.  Mold can can be harmful to your health and can also cause significant damage to your property.
