Fremont, CA Mold Damage Remediation

Many do not take mold growth as seriously as they should when discovering it in their Fremont home. As destructive and potentially hazardous as these organisms might be, property owners often fail to act with urgency when colonies get found. Organisms spreading throughout the residence or business can become a substantial threat to both the building's structural integrity and the health of those exposed. Our professionals can help with swift recovery solutions.

How Can Active Colonization Get Removed in Fremont?  

Removing colonies already developed in your home or business in damp areas means choosing the appropriate remediation strategy and putting it into action. Depending on the severity of the situation and how accessible the damaged regions are, our mold specialists have several potential removal techniques to choose. Our general contractor license can allow us to conduct necessary actions like controlled demolition and repairs, but remediation can also involve several other practices such as: 

  • Surface sanding
  • Dry ice blasting
  • Antimicrobial cleaning

Is It Possible to Remove Harsh, Musty Odors from Fremont Homes? 

Those that have experienced mold damage before can describe the intense, musty odor involved with active colonization. Whether it is a single-family home or historic properties like Mission Peak and Vallejo Flour Mill, we can help structures to overcome these malodors with practical deodorization instruments and products. Counteractants can reduce smell severity, while tools like foggers and air scrubbers begin neutralization.

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because it’s impossible to remove all mold from a house or business; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the 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 on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. 
  • 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.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:

Step 1: Emergency Contact - (510) 737-8793

The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel.

Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the mold damage by carefully inspecting your property for visible signs of mold. Since mold can be hidden, we use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources. 

Step 3: Mold Containment

Our professionals use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. We may use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process. 

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

Depending on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces involved, the mold remediation process can vary significantly. In general, we’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we may need to remove drywall, carpeting, and other porous materials.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont will use a variety of cleaning techniques and products to clean your furnishings and personal belongings. Since mold infestations also cause a persistent musty odor, our professionals are also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

During the remediation process, it’s often necessary to remove porous building materials like subfloors, drywall, and carpet. The restoration step returns your Fremont, CA home or business back to normal. Depending on the severity of mold damage, the restoration step may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, or it may involve a substantial reconstruction project.
