St. Petersburg Homeowners Rely on SERVPRO® for Mold Damage Repairs

Mold can affect the structural integrity of building materials if you don’t address it promptly. IICRC-certified SERVPRO techs tackle mold damage to your St. Petersburg property with advanced equipment and techniques to limit the extent of damage. 

SERVPRO techs aim to contain mold damage and prevent it from spreading to the unaffected areas of your St. Petersburg property during restoration. We use different forms of containment and equipment to control the aerosolization of mold spores.  

Role of Containment in Mold Remediation  

Once the SERVPRO mold specialists have identified the problem, the team sets up containment barriers. We use 6-mil polyethylene sheeting and professional-grade air filtration systems to isolate the mold-damaged area of your home. 

Depending on the extent of mold contamination, we create different types of containments:

• Source containment: It addresses relatively small areas of mold growth. SERVPRO techs tape polyethylene sheeting directly over the affected area or material before removing it. 
• Local (mini) containment: Techs use local containment when they suspect a moderate level of mold contamination. SERVPRO techs build an enclosure using PVC pipes, wood framing, and spring-loaded expansion poles to seal off the contaminated area. 
• Full-scale containment: We use it only when extensive mold growth is present, and local containment barriers can't contain it. An entire section of your property is sealed off to prevent mold from spreading to unaffected areas of your home. 

Air Moving Devices in Mold Remediation 

SERVPRO uses air filtration devices fitted with High-efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to create negative air pressure within isolated areas. The negative air pressure prevents aerosolized spores from leaving the contained areas and spreading to the rest of your property. 

Our techs maintain a pressure differential of ≥ 5 Pascals to contain the dust and spores within the contained areas.
