What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.

Residential Mold Removal
Mold can come from many sources, including on clothing, pets, through open doors and windows, and because of excessive moisture, often in the aftermath of water damage. When it enters your home and begins to cause mold problems, it’s in your best interest to have professional mold remediation performed to help ensure safety and effectiveness.
Our professionals are equipped to assess the mold and provide remediation services, using advanced equipment and techniques to help ensure its source is located, and the mold is remediated. Given its potential to cause allergens and irritants that may cause health effects, our services will help maintain your peace of mind while our professionals work to clean up the mold as quickly as possible.

Commercial Mold Remediation
Mold can enter your business in a variety of ways. Once spotted, it’s important you contact a cleanup and restoration company like SERVPRO as soon as possible. Given its ability to spread in 72 hours or less, and the possibility of allergens and irritants that may cause health effects as a result, time is of the essence when mold spreads in your business or commercial property.
We understand the urgency of returning your business to functioning condition, given that every hour of closed business is an hour of lost production and revenue. Take the necessary steps to help protect your customers, employees, and the health of your business by having our team assess and remediate any mold damage that may have grown in your commercial space.
What our
customers are saying
I found a dark spot on the painted concrete basement wall after moving a bed that was up against it in a spare room. I wasn’t sure but thought it looked like mold discoloration.
A SERVPRO technician came out and used a small special vacuum to suck up the mold spores on the concrete area. He applied an antimicrobial spray and wiped off the rest. He suggested painting over the concrete spot and the rest of the area as a precaution with a paint that I could get at home improvement store.
He also told me a tip was to keep a small fan circulating the air in rooms that don’t see a lot of activity. Since mold is everywhere in the air, it settles & grows when temperature and other conditions are right- like nothing else moving in the room.
No problems since and it’s been over a year! I was also happy to see that he wore protective clothing and a face mask to do the work.
Couldn't be happier with the work they did. Brett and his crew worked on our basement mold problem and he was always available to talk through the project as we went. He kept me in the loop and I always felt like I knew what was going on and what was next. His crew was top notch, always professional, and left the work space clean at the end of the day. Highly recommend!
Easy to deal with and friendly. Happy with the service they provided and recommend to others.
Very impressed with the service. Will recommend in the future.
The staff was very helpful and empathetic to my situation and made this bad experience into a good one!
We were disappointed to see that mold spots had appeared on the inside rubber seal of the front loader washing machine after taking possession of our new home in Waterloo. The washer door had been accidently closed and had caused the mold to grow. We found out this is a common problem and after attempts to get rid of the smell and spots, we called SERVPRO. They used a hepa vacuum to suck up mold spores and then an antimicrobial cleaning solution to kill anything left and for prevention. The stain spots are still there but confident that the mold is gone. We have not had any other issues. Thank you SERVPRO for cleaning it up!

These guys rock! We had some water damage a while back and these guys did an excellent job cleaning it up! They found the water in places I never even would have thought to check! . They did awesome pulling up the flooring, drying out the sub floor and even were able to dry out the walls without ripping into the drywall. They even showed me at the end via infrared camera that it was dry - giving me confidence mold would not grow where the water went! highly recommend!
This team is great! Inspected our room the same day we called (pure luck that they had an opening) and were able to schedule the mold removal and remediation for the following week.
They did an incredibly thorough job.
Would definitely use again.
I had mold form from frost over the winter in my cold cellar under my front concrete stoop. The young man that came was very professional, and the job he performed was excellent. He explained everything he would be doing and stuck to the task. He was working in a smaller space with his equipment and chemicals. He kept the door closed all the time to prevent mold spores from entering the rest of the house. I was very impressed on his thoughtfulness. He said he wasn't claustrophobic, ha. Thanks for a great job.
