SERVPRO® Is the First Choice of Dallas Residents for Mold Removal
Spotting mold in your home is never a pretty sight. Hiring specialists like SERVPRO for mold removal in your Dallas home can prevent long-term damage and restore your home quickly.
SERVPRO techs use industry-leading tools and techniques during the mold removal process in your Dallas home. We follow the IICRC S520 guidelines during cleanup to restore your home as efficiently as possible without spreading the mold to unaffected areas.
Engineering Controls During Mold Remediation
SERVPRO techs establish engineering controls during mold removal to ensure that airborne mold spores and fragments don’t escape to unaffected areas of your property. Some of the engineering controls that we employ include:
- Isolation: SERVPRO techs use different types of physical barriers to isolate the mold-affected areas depending on the extent of the mold damage. We use 6-mil polyethylene sheeting to erect barriers and seal off areas to prevent cross-contamination.
- Pressure differentials: Techs use pressure differentials to manage airflow between your property's contaminated and non-contaminated areas. The contaminated areas are negatively pressurized compared to the unaffected areas to create a pressure differential of ≥ 5 Pascals using negative air machines (NAMs).
- Air-moving devices: We also use air-moving devices fitted with HEPA filters to prevent airborne mold spores and particles from escaping the contaminated areas.
A combination of these engineering controls ensures that mold damage is contained and does not spread to the unaffected parts of your property during restoration.
Decontamination Chamber
If your property is severely contaminated, SERVPRO techs will erect decontamination chambers. These chambers are a transition space between the contaminated and surrounding clean areas.
Techs erect decon chambers using PVC piping, wood studs, and one or two layers of polyethylene sheeting. We also install “Z” or “T” plastic flaps on the entry and exit sides to limit the cross-contamination between clean and affected areas.
