Mold in the Attic Spreads Throughout Naples Home

People do not go up into their attics very often, which was the case in this Naples home where a small leak in the attic led to a mold damage problem. SERVPRO technicians needed to perform a large amount of controlled demolition to remove the baseboards, sheetrock, and flooring to expose the subfloor for drying and mold remediation. Although airborne mold spores exist harmlessly inside and outside homes, air quality measures are vital in the remediation process when conditions are right to create an infestation. The techs use air scrubbers to capture these spores and port them off-site while the drying equipment lowers the ambient humidity levels to unsustainable levels for continued existence. Then any remaining dried colonies get removed, and antimicrobials get used for wiping down surfaces to inhibit any return.
