Mold Damage Remediation in Naples

Hurricane and tropical storm season is upon us again. With the storm threat approaching, homeowners should be concerned about possible side effects from the coming storms.

Mold damage in Naples can start with just a tiny amount of moisture and the right surroundings. Even though an area flooded with stormwater is now dry, there is the possibility of remaining moisture behind drywall or hidden in your home. SERVPRO is ready with the equipment and experience to find it and remove it.

Once mold spores have enough moisture to expand, they grow quickly, feeding on the surrounding building material. Often, this goes unnoticed until the infestation has spread to a common area such as a bathroom or hallway or someone smells that distinctive musty odor. If you see or suspect mold damage, call us for a free, initial inspection.

Mold Inspection

If our inspectors discover mold, we can determine the source and just how far it has spread. Once the affected areas have been determined, our restoration team develops a plan utilizing our extensive inventory of equipment and antifungal and antimicrobial cleaning agents to thoroughly clean and remove the mold.

If the source is found to be behind a wall, we can drill several holes in that area and use specialized fans to force air into it to dry it out. If this is not successful, that section of drywall may need to be removed and replaced. Moisture saturated drywall is very delicate and can crumble simply by picking it up. Once the section is removed, the affected area can be quickly dried, and then the now inactive spores can be vacuumed out.

The weather in Collier county has the potential for tropical storms, and high humidity and excessive moisture are always average around here.
