Mold Containment

9/27/2018 (Permalink)

So, you have mold and you called someone to handle it... now what? Once the mold technicians arrive, they will need to ensure that the mold does not keep spreading throughout the building so that they can be sure that they have treated all of the affected areas. They will do this by setting up containment barriers - usually made of heavy plastic - around any areas that need to be treated. These barriers, along with air scrubbers, will keep mold spores from traveling to different parts of the building.

Depending on the scope of the job, our technicians may need to use more advanced techniques to properly remediate the mold. One of these techniques includes creating a negative air chamber or negative pressure environment. This just means that the air pressure inside the contained area is less than the air pressure outside of the contained area. This technique allows us to better control any mold spores that may begin floating around once the remediation process has begun.

Once the area is properly contained, our experts can continue with the rest of the mold remediation process. If your home or business has been affected by mold, call 817.595.0004 to have a SERVPRO® of Hurst-Euless-Bedford technician begin the remediation process!
