SERVPRO to the rescue of another mold-infested property in Queens. We leave when the mold leaves.

SERVPRO Acts Quickly to Minimize Mold Remediation Requirements in Queens

Damage from mold infestations can be minimized by quickly enacting mold remediation activities in your Queens home as soon as it is noticed. Mold spores are everywhere, waiting for the right conditions to form colonies and grow. Within 24 to 48 hours of a water leak, you may notice a musty odor, a sure sign of a mold infestation somewhere in your home or office building. Occasionally an unobserved water leak under a sink or inside walls leads to a major mold infestation.

SERVPRO can be onsite within four hours of your call to initiate mold remediation in your Queens home, including:

• Porous materials damaged by mold removal
• Cleaning and disinfecting non-porous materials using EPA-approved antimicrobial products
• Identification and elimination of the moisture source
• Controlled demolition of structural components sustaining significant damage from mold

SERVPRO also appreciates how concerned many consumers are when they find mold in their homes. No one wants to be exposed to mold, and SERVPRO takes special precautions during mold remediation activities to protect your family. These include:

• Careful removal of mold from surfaces avoiding agitation
• Bag in place of all contents and materials before removal from your home
• Installation of plastic barriers to prevent mold spore distribution to other areas of the home
• Blocking and sealing all HVAC vents and intakes in the affected area
• Installation of negative pressure rooms to contain mold particles and spores in the impacted area

Once our team has completed all mold remediation activities, we can also help with restoration and reconstruction as needed:

• Utility repairs – plumbing, electrical, and heating
• Structure repairs – flooring, drywall, ceiling, etc.
• Content restoration – furniture, dry cleaning, etc.

We coordinate with your insurance, providing all required paperwork to support the claims process. Note that many carriers do not offer policies with mold damage remediation. Often, the coverage will be minor in terms of dollars.
