SERVPRO of West Pensacola is always on stand by to help with any kind of mold issues.

SERVPRO Can Remediate All Types of Residential Mold Infestations 

Any time excessive moisture enters a home in Pensacola microbes can activate and cause you problems. The longer water sits on organic materials inside your house; the more severe mold damage can get. Once fungi form they grow structures called hyphae that spread the contamination and release reproductive spores into the air. These spores are microscopic and can quickly become airborne and get into your building's air circulation causing air quality issues. Once these spores are in your house's air circulation system, they can settle in other places and cause mold damage to occur far away from the initial source.

Time is vital when it comes to remediating fungal contamination. Most mold damage problems in Pensacola start small and only become severe if nothing is done about the original affected area. Once our SERVPRO technicians hear about the presence of a fungus inside your home, we immediately figure out how to remediate the contaminated area. We conduct all of our restoration procedures in ways that prevent spores and other harmful particles from spreading to unaffected regions in your house.

In some types of properties such as rentals, water leaks and problems with mold can go unnoticed for a very long time. As time goes on the contamination gets worse and spreads all over the structure. In certain severe cases, our SERVPRO technicians must contain the entire home to prevent spores and other hazardous materials from entering the outdoor environment.

When mold problems get severe, we also utilize one or more air scrubbers to help improve the air quality of the affected building. The scrubbers suck in the air inside the containment chamber and run it past a HEPA filter. These filters trap even the smallest particles before exhausting out the air. We also use antimicrobial solutions during the remediation process that helps eliminate spores and keep them from spreading.

Locally Owned Company with National Resources

In the worst-case scenarios, we remove all contaminated materials down to the building's wooden studs. If the studs are affected, then they can get sanded down and treated with a specialized sealant. If you have a house that was the victim of mold problems going unnoticed, call SERVPRO of West Pensacola at (850) 469-1160 any time of the day.
