Discovering a mold infestation in your home does not need to be a cause for alarm. Contact SERVPRO to evaluate and remediate.

Mold Damage Comes in Many Forms. SERVPRO in Beekman Can Help Identify and Remediate the Issue

Most homeowners use professional mold remediators when confronting a fungi issue in their home. Molds can vary greatly between species, and while some may disappear by themselves, others can return consistently or grow into full-size mold colonies. All mold species use digestive enzymes to break-down organic matter into energy. In a home environment, a persistent mold problem can cause permanent harm to drywall, fabrics, furniture, and framework in your home. The correct response is to enlist a professional that can help with:

• Mold assessment 
• Mold remediation
• Mold removal

The impact of mold damage in your Beekman home can vary greatly. Sometimes molds can release spores into the house, causing odors and affecting indoor air quality. Other times a mold species can spread throughout the building assembly weakening structural components and deteriorating decor. 

Dry rot is an example of when mold is allowed to spread unnoticed and can result in the expensive replacement of lumber wood framing beneath floors. Drywall, the material commonly used for walls in homes, can break down over time, becoming powdery or generally weaker. Drywall infestation frequently requires the replacement of the material to avoid cross-contamination and reduce the likelihood of exterior wall collapse. SERVPRO technicians can:

• Perform general construction activities such as removing floorboards, walls, or flooring to access building cavities. 
• Oversee the removal of infested materials safely using the correct disposal methods and ensuring cross-contamination is reduced. 
• Reinstalling parts of the building assembly that were deemed non-salvageable, including ordering necessary materials. 

When mold infestation affects your home, it is vital to act quickly to reduce damages. Contact SERVPRO of NW & SE Dutchess County for mold damage remediators at (845) 635-4550.
