We Are Your Local Mold Remediation Experts
Suppose you find mold growing on the outside of a wall or cabinet. In that case, your Sevierville house has an increased chance of microbial damage inside nearby hidden spaces. Wall cavities (where wiring and plumbing pass) and the space underneath your cabinets can provide the perfect environment for microbes to thrive.
With our extensive experience and specialized techniques, SERVPRO® is adept at uncovering hidden mold damage in your Sevierville property. Our remediation methods are tailored to the specific location of mold colonies. Moreover, our keen eye for evidence of previous deterioration often leads us to other areas that require our top-notch remediation and restoration services.
Many times, we find homes with microbial infestations needing the following types of remediation services:
- Removing mold and spores
- Cleaning up affected areas
- Preventing a mold reinfestation
We use different ways to remove mold from surfaces. We might use debriding and blasting for large areas or wire bristle brushes and a vacuum for smaller areas. We also remove mold spores from the air via enclosed airtight containment systems with negative air pressure.
After eliminating all traces of mold and spores, we go the extra mile to clean the area meticulously. Our thoroughness ensures that no particles remain within your home's interior. We also take care to remove any dust or debris created during the removal process, leaving your home not just mold-free, but also clean and fresh.
Our service doesn't stop at mold remediation and cleanup. We are committed to safeguarding your residence and belongings from any future mold or mildew problems. Our proactive measures, such as installing a dehumidifier, mitigating water-damaged building components, and applying a coating of Concrobium to previously affected surfaces, transform previously hospitable environments into inhospitable ones for microbes and their spores. This ensures long-term mold prevention, giving you peace of mind.
