SERVPRO Works to Limit Exposure to Occupants and Spread of Debris during Mold Removal 

Performing mold remediation successfully takes various things, including safety procedures to protect the structure and occupants. Uncontrolled removal can lead to challenges since mold can cause health effects or spread the problem further than the areas originally affected.

Bacteria and fungi fall within the biohazards category, which includes hazardous materials and microscopic ones that are difficult to notice visually. Safety during mold remediation in your San Jose home mostly focuses on controlling the microscopic mold residues limiting chances of contact with skin or inhalation. Our SERVPRO technicians take precautions to protect themselves, the structure, and the residents during every step of the restoration process. 

Mold remediation takes several steps, including:

• Mold removal
• Mold inspection
• Black mold damage repairs

Our SERVPRO teams take a multifaceted approach to guarantee safety during the remediation process. For instance, a simple step such as informing the occupants of the potential risks of exposure to moldy materials poses ensures that they keep away where possible. 

Removing moldy materials involves the use of chemical agents and the agitation of surfaces. The two processes can leave suspended residues in the air, leaving people exposed after concluding the remediation. Our SERVPRO technicians set up containment barriers and use air filtration devices to help remove any suspended materials from the air. 

With assistance from SERVPRO of NE San Jose, it is possible to complete mold remediation without damaging the structure unnecessarily or exposing occupants to hazardous materials. Call us at (408) 834-7663. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.
