Hidden Mold Damage to Structural Components and Interior Contents of Properties in Alpharetta

3/30/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO takes a mold infestation in your property or business seriously. As a darkness-loving microorganism, mold easily avoids detection by human eyes. This ability to quickly gain a strong foothold provides microbes more than enough time to cause damage inside an Alpharetta apartment complex. The areas affected might stay hidden until a tenant moves in or out. Or a rearranging of furniture.

Once a property manager in Alpharetta discovers mold damage, they should immediately start remediation to repair the situation. Beginning the repair work and other aspects of restoration as soon as possible helps to prevent several different problems from occurring or escalating. Keeping mold and spores contained through the use of temporary barrier walls, double-bagging, and quick disposal keeps them from spreading. Rendering them incapable of spreading protects people and any uncontaminated areas of your home. 

When a project involves areas damaged by microbial activity, many contractors refuse to continue until after an expert remediation team removes the moldy materials. This is because not only can mold cause health effects but can also infest new materials. Completely removing any ruined materials protects people's health and your investment. 

During storage in the warehouse, special measures ensure that your new building materials and supplies arrive safely and without any defects. The responsibility of preventing cross-contamination within your home now rests upon your shoulders. Our SERVPRO IICRC trained technicians are ready to help you protect your home and new materials from the hazards that microbes can introduce.

Rearranging furniture, even within a room, can reveal mold growing on walls behind furniture. Other locations that often suffer in the presence of mold include floors under large pieces of furniture and also around window frames. Many mold spores can easily collect underneath a bed or couch, while window frames collect spores from the air outside as it moves through tiny cracks. 

Before placing furniture pieces in their newly intended spots, calling  SERVPRO to clean up the mold can help remove the excess microbial population and give your apartment a fresh start. Doing so can help keep your residence free of excessive mold in the future and protect other tenants from future mold issues.
