Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

Mold assessment and remediation can be a worrying expense for most homeowners. We have all heard the stories about homes that had to be pulled apart in the name of mold damage. Here at SERVPRO of Lafayette, we believe in quality over quantity when it comes to mold restoration. Usually, a laboratory test is expensive and merely confirms what is already apparent to the eye and nose. We get straight to work remediating mold damages by getting directly to the source of mold and removing it; this helps to prevent the problem from re-occurring.

Usually, mold damages start with dampness or spots of moisture. Mold spores settle on these areas of the home and begin to proliferate forming unpleasant, and odorous, colonies. The technicians we are qualified to trace mold back to the source and have the expertise to remove the offending area as quickly as possible before working to remove secondary parts of a mold infestation. Returning your building to a happy and healthy state with a minimum of fuss is our priority when it comes to mold remediation.

Understanding Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
