SERVPRO Can Often Save High-Value Items from Mold Growth in your Oceanside Home

Mold attaches itself to materials using hyphae- which are vine-like growths. These hyphae also produce new mold spores. The core factor in saving mold-infested materials is the porosity of the material itself. Porous materials generally sustain growth below the surface level, making them impossible to restore. 

The advantage of using professional mold removal companies in Oceanside is that a homeowner can ensure their belongings stand the best chance of recovery. SERVPRO technicians are certificated by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certifications body and follow S500 protocol when conducting mold remediation. 

• Molds are a type of microbe or microorganism that require food, water, and temperature to grow. 
• Microbial contamination is a high-risk when performing remediation, often setting up a containment room or decontamination space.
• Negative air pressure machines work in a similar way to vacuums and can reduce mold spores spreading during remediation.
