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.

While mold growth in large commercial structures like Eastwick College or Clara Maass Medical Center might affect thousands of people, that same threat to structural integrity and the health of those exposed exists in single-family homes in the Nutley area as well. We strive to provide every customer, from these large businesses to the homesteads throughout Essex County the same level of effective mitigation, containment, and remediation the property needs to return to pre-mold condition. 

With an entire division of our SERVPRO team getting accredited through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) as Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT), we are prepared for whatever your home or business might face. We have the training and growing inventory of advanced tools to quickly and confidently address not only the organism itself to remove growing colonies, but also to remove the effects in the structure that allowed mold colonization 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.
