How To Deal An Effective Blow To Mold Damage In Santa Ana

Mold problems go beyond the simple signs like a musty smell and stained surfaces. If the colonies are left to reproduce unabated, they can break down the structural integrity of the affected material. Breakdown happens because mold consumes materials such as wood or fabric as food to fuel its growth. Knowing this, you should take immediate remedial action when you notice early signs in your Santa Ana home.

Most cases of severe mold damage in Santa Ana can be attributed to laxity on the part of the property owner. Alternatively, a lack of proper knowledge can lead to extreme proliferation even after taking immediate action. For instance, using bleach to counter growth only fuels it because of the extra moisture introduced in the affected area. Calling an AMRT, Applied Microbial Remediation Technician helps you avoid such mistakes because they follow best practices when choosing a method to deal with mold.

By the time you discover the early signs of mold infestation, there is a likelihood that the colonies have spread in hidden areas such as wall cavities or hard-to-reach areas such as underneath sinks and other plumbing installations. A thorough inspection of the affected property is necessary to establish the true extent of the problem. Our SERVPRO technicians use different approaches, including thermal, to inspect all problem areas in your property. Even with no mold, the cameras can help establish moisture issues that could lead to future growth.

The effect of mold on different materials varies. The hyphae grow deep into the material in porous materials, so it is hard to eliminate them through cleaning. In such circumstances, the best approach is to discard the affected items. Our SERVPRO crew uses different methods to clean nonporous materials, including HEPA vacuuming them to eliminate loose fragments of the mold colonies and damp wiping with a professional antimicrobial solution to kill spores.
