Atlantic City, NJ Mold Damage Remediation

Because we are a coastal community, our structures and shops are susceptible to the damage that nature can do and elevated humidity. Whether it is any of our several massive casinos or high-end shopping of the Playground Pier, our SERVPRO professionals understand the importance of working fast to regulate mold growth and prevent worsening conditions when possible.  

What Starts Mold Remediation in Atlantic City Properties?  

Many steps can get the remediation process started. Much of this decision is based on the affected materials and the severity of mold colonization in the structure. Surface treatments and cleaning can be a vital first approach in reducing or eliminating mold hazards, especially in containment areas created for efficiency: 

  • Mold removal
  • Musty odor removal
  • Content cleaning
  • Structural repairs
  • Preventative care
  • Thorough drying
  • Surface cleaning

Is Basement Mold Common for Atlantic City Structures?  

Basement flooding and water damage are not uncommon, making the possibilities of mold development a real threat to structures on the Boardwalk and throughout Atlantic City. We can dry up these moist conditions and remediate active mold damage when discovered. 

When Are Repairs Needed After Mold Remediation? 

Because we have a general contractor license, our inspection and evaluation process can look for the pressing needs of reconstruction and repairs during mold remediation. We can provide these services for structures of all sizes.

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 - (609) 965-0885

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 carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view. 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

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. We’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. It may be necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to remediate heavy mold growth.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

SERVPRO of Atlantic City / Hamilton / Hammonton 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

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.
