Why You Should Choose SERVPRO for Mold Removal in Your Naples Home

With its location on Florida’s west coast, Naples residents are almost used to the effects of the storms that strike us each year. What many of them miss are the after-effects with improper water removal, or when a flooded area like an attic is not suitably dried out. In these situations, mold can cause as much damage when it grows unchecked.

So why should you choose SERVPRO response teams for mold removal in Naples? Our technicians train extensively to not only remove mold but remove the source of moisture that caused the growth to begin initially. They use the latest equipment and methods to ensure every home is free of active, growing mold when they finish.

The SERVPRO applied microbial remediation technicians (AMRT) start by finding the full extent of the growth and the water source that allows the first spores to develop from their inert state and grow. Once discovered, team members remove the water and dry the immediate area to stop further mold growth. If there is a leak, our technicians can perform minor repairs to pipes, connections, and even replace hoses.

Next, they remove the mold. When possible, technicians clean surfaces using cloths and sponges. For thicker layers, they use an antimicrobial agent to break them up for easier removal. If the mold has already begun to penetrate the surface of roof support or other wood beams, SERVPRO technicians use wire brushes to break up the mold. If needed, they can also use hand or power sanders to remove the top layer and dig out the mold. With our Mold Remediation Contractor License #: MRSR2994, we can even complete the rebuilding, "Like it never even happened."

Finally, technicians vacuum up the mold spores, dust, and other particles. Each vacuum they use contains a HEPA filter which is designed to capture almost every mold spore off a surface. Attached hoses direct everything out of the home and into a catch bag to prevent accidentally spreading the mold to unaffected parts of the house.

Our goal at SERVPRO of Naples / Marco Island is to restore each home to safe, livable condition. If you suspect or see there is mold in your home, contact us today at (239) 302-5700 for an inspection and free estimate. We are here for you.
