Safe, Effective Mold Damage Help When Merrimack Properties Need It

Any property can develop black mold, and many homeowners, property managers, and business owners may not realize it is there until the problem gets out of hand. Not only should you take the time to inspect various areas of your Merrimack property for this pesky fungi, but having a remediation plan in place is also extremely helpful. Rather than trying to attempt mold cleanup on your own, having trained technicians from SERVPRO handle it for you will be safer and a lot more effective.

Why worry about mold damage in Merrimack? Many people may not realize that mold can spread throughout their property in as little as 48 hours. 

Microscopic mold spores are all around us, naturally occurring indoors and out. Because of this, it is virtually impossible to remove all of it from homes and businesses thoroughly. This is why homeowners should never trust a company that claims they can remove mold – nor should you be trying DIY products you find in stores claiming to eradicate the spores. 

SERVPRO Mold Remediation to the Rescue!

With proper inspection and remediation services, you can drastically cut back on the spore count so that it gets to normal or ‘baseline’ levels. SERVPRO will never advertise removals or guarantee eradication. What we will always do is our best to work on cleanup and restoring your mold-damaged property to make it as it was before – “Like it never even happened.”

Think about the following should you suspect spores colonizing in your home:

• Spores are microscopic, floating through the air and entering homes via windows, doors, HVAC systems, and even on you or your pets.
• Spores thrive within moist surroundings and quickly colonize when exposed to water. 
• It begins to thrive with enough moisture, the proper temperatures, and an organic food source.
• Before remediation starts, SERVPRO addresses the source of the water or moisture issue. We do this to ensure the problem does not return.
• You will often notice musty, strong odors that lead you to areas where spores may be colonizing.
• Higher than average relative humidity (RH) may be the culprit, so try to keep indoor levels below 45%.
