Stockton, CA Mold Damage Remediation

With many of our homes and businesses built along the San Joaquin River, flooding and moisture concerns are common. When larger properties like Weberstown Mall or Sherwood Mall fall victim to microbial threats, our SERVPRO professionals can help with efficient mold removal practices. 

Do Mold Specialists Conduct Inspections for Stockton Residences?

The appropriate mold remediation tactics can occur after our SERVPRO professionals inspect and evaluate the property. Not only can this identify where mold damage exists, but also the needed mold removal steps to protect hosting materials whenever possible. Efficient action in these assessments improves restoration and recovery for:

  • Attic mold removal
  • Black mold
  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Mold inspection
  • Mold removal
  • Mold specialists

When is Bathroom Mold Removal Needed in Stockton Homes?

The bathroom can be a common place for black mold development, and many Stockton homes experienced this situation with poor ventilation or persistent moisture. Identifying active colonization can occur in multiple ways like musty odors or physical spotting, but mold inspections are often definitive. 

Are Black Mold Damage Repairs Needed After Stockton Attic Mold?

We understand the need for controlled demolition and discarding removed materials after mold exposure in some situations. With a general contractor license, we can perform these actions and replace structural elements after SERVPRO mold remediation. Our license also allows us to repair or reconstruct vulnerabilities that would enable moisture penetration and further mold damage.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these 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 - (209) 477-3090

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 determine the scope of the mold damage by carefully inspecting your property for visible signs of mold. Since mold can be hidden, we use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources. 

Step 3: Mold Containment

To keep the mold spores from spreading further, we will use various mold containment procedures. Our professionals may use physical barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the contaminated area and to help prevent the mold spores from spreading through your Stockton, CA home or business. Also, we’ll turn off the property’s fans and heating and cooling systems to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums 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

We clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by mold, using a variety of cleaning techniques to clean and disinfect your belongings. We’re also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

During the remediation process, it’s often necessary to remove porous building materials like subfloors, drywall, and carpet. The restoration step returns your Stockton, CA home or business back to normal. Depending on the severity of mold damage, the restoration step may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, or it may involve a substantial reconstruction project.
