Runnemede, NJ Mold Damage Remediation

With homes built along Big Timber Creek and around areas like Billy Tavener Park, humidity and groundwater concerns can be persistent. Moisture penetration into the basement or attic levels of Camden County homes presents ever-present mold risks that must get addressed when moist conditions facilitate colonization.  

Is Your Runnemede Home Getting Certified Mold Specialists to Help? 

The advantage of choosing SERVPRO to help with these mold damage concerns is our training and certifications in this area. Through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), we have multiple professionals trained and accredited as Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT.)  

How Challenging is Mold Removal for Runnemede Properties? 

Because not every property is the same, the approach to removing mold and protecting the structure changes. The efforts necessary in a building like the Runnemede Public Library could differ from attic mold in a home near Green Acres Park. We assess the needs of the structure with a job scoping process and then work to provide needed services to help like: 

  • Mold removal
  • Surface drying
  • Air filtration
  • Cleaning
  • Build-back and repairs
  • Mold inspections

Can Mold Odors Get Removed During Remediation of Runnemede Properties? 

One of the final obstacles in mold restoration and remediation is musty odors. We have several deodorization tools and products to overcome these threats. We can remove harsh smells after remediation completes.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these 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 - (856) 566-3388

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 carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view. We use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.

Step 3: Mold Containment

Our professionals use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. We may use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off 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

Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
