Fairfield Glade, TN Mold Damage Remediation

Because the region is loaded with fishing lakes and the larger Lake Catherine, it is not surprising that many of the area’s residences contend with elevated humidity and moisture concerns throughout the year. The subtropical climate can lead to heavy rainfall in certain seasons, leaving several homes and businesses in Fairfield Glade susceptible to flooding. Prolonged moisture conditions can lead to mold threats, which is why our SERVPRO team is equipped to handle:

  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Mold inspections
  • Black mold damage repairs
  • Mold remediation
  • Basement mold remediation
  • Attic mold removal

How Common is Attic Mold in Fairfield Glade Properties? 

These severe weather incidents here in the rural part of Tennessee can cripple structural elements like the roof, allowing for direct water penetration and flooding concerns. After only a brief time, attic mold can develop and spread to other lived-in areas of the property. 

Does SERVPRO Do Mold Damage Repairs for Fairfield Glade Homes?

With our general contractor license, we can complete multiple repairs and reconstruction needs of mold-damaged homes. From controlled demolition to repairing damaged envelopes of buildings where moisture penetration occurs, we can help. 

How Do SERVPRO Mold Specialists Remove Odors?

Odors are a common issue after microbial development and one that lingers long after mold removal completes. With deodorization equipment, we can neutralize these smells and return comfortable living conditions to your formerly damaged home.

Understanding Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

  • 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 on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. 
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return. 
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:

Step 1: Emergency Contact - (931) 250-5333

The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel.

Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view. We use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.

Step 3: Mold Containment

Our professionals use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. We may use advanced containment procedures 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. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process. 

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. We’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. It may be necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to remediate heavy mold growth.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

We clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by mold, using a variety of cleaning techniques to clean and disinfect your belongings. We’re also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
