Mold removal process

1/5/2018 (Permalink)

Mold can spread extremely quickly; in as little as 48 hours it can become a problem in your home or business. Although every mold damage scenario differs, the general mold remediation process stays the same. Below are the “typical” mold removal steps for this process:

1. Call SERVPRO of Davenport/Bettendorf at (563)-386-3540.

The mold cleanup restoration process begins when you call us. We will assess your situation by asking you a series of questions to help determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed.

2. Inspection and mold damage assessment

We will carefully inspect your property for signs of mold using various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources. Mold can be hidden from plain view. 

3. Mold containment

Various containment procedures will be placed to prevent the spread of mold, 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.

4. Air filtration

Specialized filtration equipment captures microscopic mold spores out of the air. Powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums will be utilized to prevent the spread of these mold spores.

5. Removing mold and mold-infested materials

This will depend on the amount of growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears.

6. Cleaning contents and belongings

We will clean your furniture, décor, curtains, and other restorable items affected by mold.

7. Restoration

Depending on the level of damage, restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, paintings, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
