Jefferson, NJ Mold Damage Remediation

With more than 21,000 residents spread amongst areas like Lake Hopatcong or the Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, water and humidity damage are not uncommon to properties. When unresolved, these situations can develop into mold threats that our experienced remediators must resolve. We help with:

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

Does Remediation Protect Affected Contents of Jefferson Properties? 

Contents can often be heavily damaged by spreading mold colonies. Sensitive organic materials that serve as hosts for active organisms can become irreparably damaged without direct cleaning and intervention by our SERVPRO of Dover / Stillwater professionals. Remediation for contents occurs both on-site and at our nearby warehouse.

How Attic Mold Impacts Jefferson Properties

The attic can often be a common location for mold development, especially following severe weather situations that occur in every season in Morris County. When mold is suspected in this area, an inspection can determine the location and severity of colonies to begin necessary remediation as soon as possible. 

Can Odors Be Removed from Mold-Damaged Jefferson Properties? 

Properties like the Jefferson Township Public Schools structures cannot resume normal activities without the full spectrum of mold damage effects getting resolved. We understand the burden of harsh smells after microbial damage, so we have several deodorizing tools to help. Hydroxyl generators provide filtration and odor removal capabilities.

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 - (973) 810-2825

The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, 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 Jefferson, NJ 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

Depending on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces involved, the mold remediation process can vary significantly. In general, we’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we may need to remove drywall, carpeting, and other porous materials.

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 Jefferson, NJ 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.
