Mold Inspections Identify the Damage Zone

Our leading professionals understand that mold damage in Queens apartments changes from one address to the next. The best custom solution for your property comes when our professionals investigate the damage with a mold inspection.

Physical Containment Solutions for Queens Residences

A solution for stopping the spread of mold spores is placing polypropylene sheeting over structural openings and pathways that organisms might use to reach new areas. HVAC systems can also be an avenue to mold migration, so returns and vents get covered up as well to create a secure work zone.

Equipment to Slow the Spread of Mold Spores

While physical barriers are often the most popular form of containment to slow the spread of mold spores and harmful organisms, some of the equipment in our inventory can also play a role in this containment. Establishing a perimeter with tools that feature HEPA membrane filters can trap migrating spores as small as 0.3 microns. Some of the tools helpful to containment include:

• HEPA Air Scrubbers
• Negative Pressure Units
• Hydroxyl Generators

Containment is a considerable aspect of nearly every remediation need. Because mold can be so damaging, our SERVPRO of Forest Hills / Ridgewood team acts fast to remove the active infestation and prevent the further development of colonies in other areas of the house.
