Removing Mold Damage

Mold can grow anywhere inside a Wrightsville Beach home, including inside walls, above ceilings, and under cabinetry. Mold spores come in such small sizes that they can end up virtually anywhere inside even the cleanest home. In fact, some cleaning methods spread mold instead of removing them from a home.

Homes in Wrightsville Beach often suffer mold damage because of our proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Ocean water, when dry, leaves a salt residue that continually draws moisture from the air. Storing items in your home after a trip to the beach can bring about the microbial growth that damages your home and your belongings.

SERVPRO's Applied Microbial Remediation Technician (AMRT) is always prepared to provide mold remediation in both homes and businesses. The techniques used by our technicians conform to IICRC standards and can effectively remove mold damage and reduce the number of mold spores within your property back to normal. We realize that having workers in your home can seem intrusive and disruptive, so we work as soon as possible to minimize the time required to complete the work.

We use negative air pressure containment methods because mold can cause health effects. While we remove damaged materials inundated with mold colonies, some of the mold spores become airborne. The methods we use keep this mold from contaminating other areas of your home. Air scrubbers are part of the containment process, but we also use them elsewhere, in larger areas, to ensure the cleanliness of your home's air.

While homeowners can easily see mold on the exterior portion of walls and ceilings, any mold that grows on the inside, between opposing drywall sections, can hide. A moisture meter can detect the presence of moisture that allows mold to grow, and if detected at higher levels, we know a closer inspection can provide the assurance needed on the interior condition of the wall. Crucial to detecting hidden mold, we do not want to leave any mold undiscovered, while at the same time, we do not want to tear away any mold-free structures.
