SERVPRO Helps Manage Complex Mold Removal Processes Restoring Pre-Loss Conditions

If the mold infestation in your Lindenhurst home is widespread, it might require removing all porous structural materials such as wall panels and insulation in the entire structure or specific sections such as rooms. The process is called a rebuild because, after removal, new materials must be installed.

Doing a rebuild as part of mold remediation efforts in Lindenhurst properties is very involved since it requires a skillful teardown of materials without affecting the rest of the structure. Removing moldy materials can also be risky since mold can cause health effects. Our SERVPRO crews are prepared with everything from hand tools to PPE, ensuring they can handle the removal, reinstallation, and refinishing of affected areas.

Rebuilds can help resolve various situations, including:

  • Attic mold removal
  • Black mold damage repairs
  • Basement mold remediation
  • Bathroom mold removal

Before deciding to do a rebuild, our SERVPRO technicians do a full assessment of the structure. We use thermal cameras to check for hidden moisture pockets. Drilling small holes into wall or ceiling panels also helps us inspect the property non-invasively using borescopes.

Proper management of moldy debris is necessary during the rebuild. Our SERVPRO technicians first set up airtight barriers using plastic sheets, thus containing the moldy debris and spores within the affected area when we start demolition. We also use zip-lock trash bags to collect the wastes for disposal.

Other useful steps for mold control include:

  • Cleaning the bare structure with sporicides and antimicrobials
  • HEPA vacuuming surfaces to remove all trace debris
  • Drying any wet areas
