Rocky Point, NY Mold Damage Remediation

Mold Damage Repairs and Remediation for Rocky Point Properties

The presence of mold in your Rocky Point home creates a hazardous situation for those exposed. Addressing these concerns often requires a professional mold remediation company, failing to address these concerns can lead to structural deterioration and worsening concentrations of volatile organic compounds. This can be devastating to sensitive properties comprised mainly of wood, such as the Noah Hallock Homestead or Wardenclyffe. 

SERVPRO Mold Remediation Strategies 

As a leading mold remediation company in Suffolk County and across Long Island, many homeowners and business owners have relied on our experience and efficient products or practices when mold damage exists. We have the equipment to manage even larger loss scenarios that impact massive properties like St. Anselm's Episcopal Church or the Tesla Science Center as well as the hundreds of residences just off of State Route 25. Remediation often entails removing active colonization through a blending of several strategies, including: 

  • Sanding
  • Soda Blasting
  • Agitative Cleaning
  • Antimicrobial Products
  • Controlled Demolition 

Why Mold Must Get Addressed Promptly in Rocky Point Homes 

Some homeowners mistakenly believe that mold damages and the threat colonies present subside over time. From the Saddle Rock Ranch to North Shore Beach structures, active colonization continues to spread and devour more of the hosting organic materials until they can no longer get salvaged with conventional remediation approaches. With so many Long Island Sound structures susceptible to growth because of elevated humidity levels, professional remediation and mold damage repairs should happen promptly.

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 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 - (631) 476-5300

We’re available 24 hours, 7 days a week to answer your phone call. Our consultant will guide you through this process, asking questions that will allow us to better understand your situation and to determine the needed equipment 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

We use powerful air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other filtration equipment to remove microscopic mold spores out of the air. This air filtration process and our mold containment process help 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

We clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by mold, using a variety of cleaning techniques to clean and disinfect your belongings. We’re also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
