SERVPRO Offers the Skinny on Mold Testing and Remediation

Avoid getting caught up in the hype. The truth is, there are many restoration companies available online. However, quite a few of them like to take advantage of myths surrounding mold issues and use scare tactics about different types of mold to offer services that you simply do not need.
 
The facts are quite simple, if mold of any kind causes mold damage in your Chicago area home, you should contact a local remediation company that you trust to eliminate the problem as fast as possible. Responding quickly and use of the right services gives you the best chance of getting the mold damage in your home under control while also preventing future contamination.
 
Any company that offers mold inspections services that involve sending samples and obtaining results from a lab before work begins in your home is causing far more harm than good. Most lab results take anywhere from 48 to 72-hours, while it only takes mold 24 to 48-hours to begin spreading throughout your property. However, the timing is not a significant issue typically concerning devastating loss to your home.
 
Even the Center for Disease Control (CDC) states that random mold testing is unnecessary and that any type or amount of mold found in your home should be considered potentially harmful to your health and treated by a professional remediation company in a quick and efficient manner.
 
True mold remediation services, like those offered at SERVPRO, provide customers with IICRC certified technicians, who follow OSHA safety standards and strict guidelines set by the EPA to protect the homeowner and its workers from harmful contamination. SERVPRO technicians cordon off the affected area using negative air pressure equipment, air scrubbers, and dehumidifiers to prevent the mold from spreading into clean areas of your home, capture mold spores that exist in the air, and remove moisture causing the problem to exist.
 
SERVPRO manages your entire mold remediation situation, including providing you with technicians well versed in restoration services to help return your home to a quality pre-mold damage condition and give you a good chance of saving a large variety of items affected by mold growth in your home. We aim to save you money, especially since most homeowner insurance policies do not cover mold remediation.
