SERVPRO Can Implement Mold Remediation in Your Goleta home

Mold is a type of fungus that is different from bacteria, plants, and animals. It’s made up of micro-organisms that help decompose dead organic material such as plants, leaves, and wood. These colonies resemble hair-like bodies and are too small to be seen individually with the naked eye. If they are thriving in your Lompoc home, mold remediation is a must. As seen on the surface of an object, mold will appear to be black, blue or green.

Where Is Mold Found?

Mold occurs naturally in both outdoor and indoor environments. It needs a organic food source and moisture to grow. 
Outdoors, it’s one of nature’s way of helping to break down dead organic matter. However, mold growth indoors, in your Lompoc home, can cause health effects so mold remediation is needed. SERVPRO of Goleta recommends that you call us at the first hint of a possible mold infestation.

Where Does Mold typically Grow Indoors?

Indoors, mold can be found growing on ceilings, walls, floors, windows, clothes, insulation, air ducts, building voids, and especially, in damp areas of basements. A professional mold remediation service is the safe and most effective approach. The professionals from SERVPRO of Goleta understand industry protocols and have the necessary equipment to do an effective job. Moisture meters, hydrometers, negative air machines or "air scrubbers," HEPA vacuums, and antifungal and antimicrobial products are utilized.
