SERVPRO Can Assist with Mold Removal Services in Falmouth

Fungi exist naturally in many places outdoors, but issues can arise if a fungus grows inside your home. Mold only needs moisture, an organic food source like wood or paper, the proper temperatures, and time to develop. Once a fungus forms, its spores can get into the air and cause the contamination to spread to other parts of your structure. 

Luckily SERVPRO is available 24/7 for mold removal services in Falmouth. Since mold can cause problems, it is wise to call professionals to remediate the issues. If we take action before the spores spread, we can help prevent contamination of materials far from the initial source. 

When our SERVPRO technicians first arrive at your residence, we start by inspecting your building to determine where moisture entered. For example, if you found mold in your attic, we would look for leaks in your roof where the water entered. If the mold formed by rainwater enters a leak in your roof, then we can seal your roof so that no more moisture enters during the restoration process.

We can also use moisture sensors to find other places where building materials could be wet. During the initial inspection, we can inspect hidden, tight spots to ensure there aren't fungal formations anywhere else in your house. Once we find all of your structure's contaminated areas, we can spray them with an antimicrobial solution. Next, we can remove the contamination from the surface of the affected materials.

We can remove contamination in the following ways:

• Dispose of contaminated materials in sealed bags
• Sandblast surface mold from wood
• Soda blast surface mold from various materials
• Scrub surface mold on non-porous materials with steel wool or a sponge

We can also set up air scrubbers and seal affected areas while we work on restoration to prevent spores from getting into the air.
