Standard Mold Remediation to Protect Your Property

You might have discovered mold in several ways. Perhaps you were remodeling your Hooksett home, preparing for an inspection before putting it on the market, or a decidedly musty odor sent you looking for its cause. To minimize mold damage, SERVPRO® provides homeowners with professional mold remediation services.

When we remediate a home in Hooksett, areas with mold damage require restoration and preventative treatments. We perform other tasks to protect your home from future infestations.

Here are a few controllable variables that increase the effectiveness of mold remediation in a home:

• Range of humidity
• Ductwork cleaning
• Airflow

Mold depends on the humidity in its environment. Reducing water vapor in the air helps prevent re-infestation by mold. Microbes thrive when the humidity is 50% or higher. Reducing humidity to below 50% helps minimize microbial activity. However, making your home too dry (30% or lower humidity) can work against you by making the air too dry for your family's comfort.

Ducts carry air from one area of your residence to another and often harbor dust, spores, and other contaminants. Minimizing spores from your home's ventilation system fortifies your property against re-infestation. It makes SERVPRO's mold remediation services last longer.

While microbes and spores use air currents to find new places to colonize, air currents can also help keep anything suspended in the air from settling on surfaces.

During the winter's colder months, reversing the direction in which a ceiling fan's blades rotate can pull warmer air down around the room's perimeter. The bathroom's exhaust fan pulls out more than humidity - it's also helpful in removing spores that bathroom mold might have recently released.
