Newburgh, NY Mold Damage Remediation

No matter the size of the structure, mold can impact many homes and businesses throughout Orange County. In Newburgh, our SERVPRO team stays ready to help against microbial development in challenging facilities like the Montefiore St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital or the structures of Mount Saint Mary College.  

How Can the Best Remediation Strategy Get Selected?

We understand that no two loss incidents are the same, so we must choose the best remediation strategy for specific circumstances. In many cases, we must decide based on where the damage exists and the severity of these conditions. Common needs for households include:

  • Attic mold removal 
  • Post-flooding mold remediation
  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Basement mold remediation

Can SERVPRO Complete Mold Damage Repairs in Newburgh? 

One of the advantages of choosing SERVPRO for mold remediation is our general contractor license. Because mold damage often requires controlled demolition and reconstruction to resolve, having a team capable of completing these build-back services without a subcontractor saves a customer time and money on the work to come. 

Musty Odor Removal from Mold-Damaged Newburgh Homes

One of the common obstacles for homes contending with mold damage is a lingering odor. Musty malodors are a product of active colonization and the creation of volatile organic compounds. Our experienced professionals have specific deodorization practices to reduce the severity of these threats and ultimately neutralize them.

Understanding Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. 
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return. 
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:

Step 1: Emergency Contact - (845) 342-3333

The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel.

Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view. We use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.

Step 3: Mold Containment

Our professionals use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. We may use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

We use powerful air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other filtration equipment to remove microscopic mold spores out of the air. This air filtration process and our mold containment process help to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

Depending on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces involved, the mold remediation process can vary significantly. In general, we’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we may need to remove drywall, carpeting, and other porous materials.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

SERVPRO of North Orange County and SERVPRO of South Orange County will use a variety of cleaning techniques and products to clean your furnishings and personal belongings. Since mold infestations also cause a persistent musty odor, our professionals are also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

During the remediation process, it’s often necessary to remove porous building materials like subfloors, drywall, and carpet. The restoration step returns your Newburgh, NY home or business back to normal. Depending on the severity of mold damage, the restoration step may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, or it may involve a substantial reconstruction project.
