The containment area would prevent any mold spores from traveling throughout the plant while we were cleaning up the mold.

Some restoration businesses make claims to remove all mold from a building but this is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems.

When your College Park home or business experiences fire or smoke damage, you need professional help quickly. SERVPRO of College Park / Hyattsville is dedicated to responding immediately, which helps to prevent secondary damage and to reduce the cost of restoration.

Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.

Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.

After a water loss it is very important that you trust the restoration professionals in properly drying your structure.

After the water removal step, your floors and walls may look dry at first glance, but they are still wet to the touch. Most building materials, like drywall and wood, are porous and will retain significant water. The retained water will cause these materials to warp, swell, or break down and can also cause mold damage.

SERVPRO Franchise Professionals will manipulate temperature and relative humidity to remove the remaining moisture. They use specialized equipment, including industrial air movers and dehumidifiers, to remove water retained by building materials and other hard-to-access moisture. They’ll carefully monitor the progress using moisture meters until the materials return to acceptable drying goals.

Mold is ever present in everything we do. It is when the mold cause issues with breathing, smelling, and when it is visible that it becomes a huge problem.

It only takes a small water leak, or even excess humidity, for mold to form in your College Park home or business. Then, mold can spread quickly through the property in as little as 48 hours. Mold can produce allergens and irritants, and it has the potential to cause other health effects. If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.

Fires never strike at a time that is convenient. It can happen at any hour of the day. This fire struck the homeowner in the middle of the night. It started in the family room and quickly spread thru the house to the bedroom on the second floor.
