Containment Overview Mold remediation containment

What is remediation containment?

Mold remediation containment is used to keep any airborne contaminants (mainly mold spores) from spreading beyond the work area. Containment chambers isolate contaminated areas to prevent cross-contamination to areas of the property that are not contaminated during the remediation process.

Did you know?

Aspergillus Niger, a mold characterized by its green and pink hues, is fairly prevalent in the United States. It can begin to grow in as little as 24 hours following water damage. Moisture plays a crucial role in mold growth, making it essential to address water-related issues promptly. Whether the source is a leaking water heater or a burst pipe, contact SERVPRO OF NW Bakersfield for water removal and mold growth control! We are here for you 24 hours a day 7 days a week including all holidays.

Mold can cause significant property damage, and can produce allergens and irritants that can cause health effects.

SERVPRO® understands mold and mold growth, and has the training and equipment to remediate the mold in your home or business.

Understanding Mold:

Microscopic mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, so removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. 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 they 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.
Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise the mold may return.
Let your nose lead the way. 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.
