Basements create the ideal environment for mold growth. Inspect your home often for signs of moisture.

Our Remediators can Evaluate Mold Growth and Provide Efficient Remediation to Lafayette Homeowners

The basement level of many Lafayette homes is subjected to moisture, less natural light, and other conditions conducive for the development and spread of fungi and microbial organisms. When these threats are found, it is essential for remediation and mold removal tactics to begin as soon as possible.

Clearing Out Mold and Microbial Threats 

Mold removal for Lafayette homes can happen in several ways. Once microbial growth gets identified in the basement, we can begin by treating surfaces with biocides and sporicidal products to inhibit further growth. Aggressive methods like sanding, media blasting, and even controlled demolition are often necessary for long-standing mold damage situations. The essential remediation strategies get identified during the initial mold inspection.  

Restoring Environmental Conditions to Prevent Recurrence 

One of the obstacles that our SERVPRO professionals face in mold-damaged basements is returning this lower level to ideal conditions. Moisture and temperature are factors in the development of mold, and likewise in reducing recurrences. We can help identify the cause of moisture damage to ensure any structural damage gets resolved by encouraging the application or installation of: 

• Sump pumps
• Dehumidification units
• Waterproofing materials
