Seal Beach, CA Mold Damage Remediation

Coastal communities always deal with higher humidity. With larger structures in Seal Beach like the Seal Beach Village shopping area or the Old Ranch Country Club, a single mold incident could impact hundreds. Our SERVPRO remediators are ready and able to help with:

  • Black mold
  • Attic mold removal
  • Mold remediation
  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Mold inspections
  • Mold removal

How Can the Mold Remediation Process Get Contained in Seal Beach Properties?

Containment is a critical element to mold removal and restoration solutions. Appropriate barriers, often created from sealing up structural openings and potential pathways with thick plastic sheeting, reduce the movement of spores and microorganisms. Our SERVPRO professionals can then focus on the newly formed workspace for remediation. 

How Does Bathroom Mold Removal Start in Seal Beach?

Often, bathroom mold originates from persistent steam moisture in a poorly ventilated area. When spotting begins on the room's surfaces, SERVPRO professionals must implement strategies like sanding and antimicrobial cleaning to remove it and prevent further mold growth while the moisture gets dried.

Repairing Seal Beach Homes After Mold Removal

Because controlled demolition can often be such a necessary element to mold remediation and recovery, repairs and reconstruction are critical to returning the home to its original condition. With a contractor license, we can provide demolition, repairs, and build-back where needed to make mold damage “Like it never even happened.”

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because it’s impossible to remove all mold from a house or business; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the 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 - (562) 431-9400

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 Seal Beach, 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 Seal Beach, 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.
