SERVPRO can provide mold remediation services in the Salem area
Once you find that a fungus has contaminated building materials or contents inside your house, the contamination could be challenging to remove. In some cases, our technicians can scrub the mold off with a rag or a scrub brush, but in other cases, the contamination goes deep into the affected materials.
When conducting mold remediation in Salem, our SERVPRO technicians can use various methods to remove fungal formations from your affected contents and building materials. For example, sanding used to be commonly used to remove the formations from items such as wooden studs. However, sanding can ruin the surface of the material. Instead, professional restoration companies have found the following advantages to soda blasting:
- The Chemical's Crystalline Structure: During soda blasting, our technicians can use a unit with sodium bicarbonate that consists of microscopic crystals with sharp edges.
- Remove Contamination Without Harming the Surface: If appropriately done, soda blasting can remove the fungal formations and save the surface of the affected item at the same time.
- Can Cause Chemical Reactions: The sodium bicarbonate can also help eliminate spores and neutralize mildew-like odors.
If you ever notice that your walls or maybe a piece of furniture is contaminated by fungi, call SERVPRO of Salem / Peabody / Marblehead at (978) 744-4545.
