What Can Mold Remediation Save? 

Mold removal and cleanup can impact hundreds of belongings, pieces of furniture, and building materials. Understanding how colonies affect these materials and what is salvageable is important as mold recovery begins.

Addressing Content Concerns

Contents represent the full spectrum of possible material types, permeance, and susceptibility to colonization for mold remediation in Agoura homes. Our SERVPRO professionals understand the potential for irreparable damage in these situations, so relocation is often a preferred approach. When damage already exists, on-site and off-site cleaning can happen if the material is deemed salvageable.

Porous Materials

Porous materials typically present an issue with mold remediation and recovery, as they are the aptest to allow serious infestations and complete deterioration of the hosting materials. Their high permeance for water works similarly to how developing mold colonies can infest and use the materials as a pathway to more organic matter. Some examples of high porosity materials include:

• Drywall
• Carpeting
• Clothing

Non-Porous Surfaces

All non-porous materials exposed to mold damage can be cleaned and protected. There are multiple examples of these types of installations in residence, including tile, concrete, and glass. Surface cleaners and sporicidal agents in our inventory are the best options to eradicate any possible live spores and prevent the migration of these microbes.

Water-Damaged Elements

In addition to the damage that mold infestations can do, moist environments that support mold colonies can also be damaging to sensitive materials. Water exposure over a day or two to building materials like drywall can cause these elements to deteriorate by swelling and bloating near the base of the wall. 

Mold infestations to building materials can destroy these elements and cause our SERVPRO of Agoura / Calabasas / Hidden Hills team to need to remove them. We arrive fast when you suspect mold growth to provide needed controlled demolition, containment, and surface cleaning. Our experience in remediation is valuable to get life back to normal.
