SERVPRO Mold Inspection Services Can Help Cocoa Residents Find the Solution to their Microbial Growth Issue

Restoration services can vary massively from case to case, and remediation for microbial infestation is no different. In some situations, drying equipment usually found in water intrusion or flooding situations may be necessary to reduce infestations. However, there are occasions when mold remediation is a lot more straightforward. The essential step for any homeowner facing a mold issue is to arrange for a professional inspection. SERVPRO technicians are trained to recognize different severities and different strains of infestation in your home so that we can choose the right course correction method. Our technicians help residents with:

• Mold infestation
• Mold inspection
• Mold remediation

The purpose of a mold inspection in your Cocoa home is to determine the method and equipment needed for remediation. One way to check for infestation is to compare affected and unaffected areas. This process can be useful for attic mold or other regions of the home that are infrequently habited. It allows a homeowner to distinguish between dust, dirt, grime, and microbial infestation. A SERVPRO technician conducts visual inspections but also 'meters' the materials. 'Metering' involves using a moisture probe or sensor to test material for signs of moisture. In some cases, a surface may return a dry reading. However, the presence of mold on a surface indicates that it must have been wet at some point. If mold is present but the surface beneath is dry, a chemical treatment may be the best remediation method.

• Mold and mildew stain remover is a proprietary chemical our technicians use to remediate dry surfaces with microbial growth.
• We apply the remover directly to the surface while wearing chemical safety gear and let it work for between 24 and 48 hours. 
• A mold and mildew stain remover can often return a moldy surface to its preloss condition if the surface is dry.
