Mold Remediation
Moisture + Organic Material = Mold

In order for mold to grow and thrive, there must be excess moisture, food (organic), the right temperature (generally between 68 degrees F - 86 degrees F), and a lack of ventilation.  The most important step that any property owner can take is to identify any humidity, moisture, or water problems before they create bigger and more costly issues.  This necessitates periodic inspection of your home and business and taking corrective action immediately.

• Look for any water or moisture, paying special attention to the area around pipes, in the basement, and in crawl spaces.  If you see a problem, contact a SERVPRO of Weymouth professional to identify the extent of the damage.  Sometimes, moisture builds up in ceilings and wall cavities, which cannot be seen. However, we have the necessary equipment and professionals to identify and remove mold and water.
• Recognize musty or moldy odors, which indicate mold growth.  Your sense of smell can detect potential problems you cannot see.
• Control humidity in bathrooms and wherever water is repeatedly used.  Exhaust fans, proper caulking, and effective cleaning with a bleach-based product will help keep problems away.
• Encourage commercial customers to develop an Emergency Response Profile (ERP) identifying vendors offering emergency response 24- hours a day, 365-days a year.  Include plumbers and a SERVPRO of Weymouth professional in the ERP.
• Inspect your HVAC systems and air conditioners.  Regular inspection and maintenance can identify moisture problems or drain clogs before they get worse.
