Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

It is not uncommon for homes and businesses in Santa Clara County to suffer mold damage. Properties suffer water damage and humid conditions, allowing for the appropriate conditions to facilitate these harmful conditions in your residence. When mold threatens your home, SERVPRO of NE San Jose is there to help.

How Does Mold Damage Your Home?

Understanding the impact of mold is important for San Jose homeowners. Often unchallenged moisture in a residence can contribute to the development of mold colonies, which spread rapidly in damp environments. Hosting organic materials serve as a food source, deteriorating these elements as the colony grows and spreads. You need SERVPRO to help with:

  • Attic mold
  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Controlled demolition
  • Structural drying
  • Black mold damage repairs

What Mold Remediation is Best?

Choosing the right mold remediation solution is not as straightforward as you might believe. Often, there are several considerations to help determine the best method. Surface cleaning is the first considered option, though when mold organisms travel beneath the outermost layer of a hosting material, more aggressive media blasting or sanding might be necessary.

Completing Needed Repairs 

Mold is often a situation that requires repairs and reconstruction. Our general contractor license helps in the residential and Large Loss commercial sectors of our firm’s recovery team. We appreciate the urgency of reconstruction needs, especially regarding the controlled demolition that can be required to remove mold damage in the first place.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. 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. Consider these 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 a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • 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.
