SERVPRO® Uses Modern Tools and Techniques for Mold Remediation in Ellington   

Trying to deal with mold without professional help can worsen the situation, as the spores can easily aerosolize and spread to unaffected areas of your property. You need professionals like SERVPRO for mold remediation at your Ellington home, as we have the experience and tools to do the job. 

SERVPRO’s experienced technicians follow the IICRC S520 guidelines during mold remediation at your Ellington home. We use industry-leading isolation and mold removal techniques to ensure minimal cross-contamination. 

Role of Engineering Controls in Mold Removal   

SERVPRO techs use engineering controls in mold removal projects to prevent mold fragments, spores, and dust from spreading to unaffected areas of your home. 

The engineering control we use in Ellington properties include:

• Isolation: It involves containing the mold damage with the help of various types of containments. We use high-quality 6-mil polyethylene sheeting to isolate mold-infected areas.
• Establishing pressure differentials: We create pressure differentials using air filtration devices fitted with HEPA filters to manage airflow. SERVPRO techs develop a negative pressure in the affected areas with a pressure differential of ³ 5 pascals. This helps prevent dust and spores from spreading to unaffected areas.
• Using air-moving devices: Techs use air-moving devices fitted with filters to prevent airborne spores and mold fragments from leaving the isolated areas.

Proper engineering controls ensure that SERVPRO techs can remove mold without spreading the contamination to other parts of your Ellington property.  

Role of Air Flow and Exchange Rates in Mold Repairs 

SERVPRO techs dilute the airborne fungal concentrations in the containment areas by regularly performing air exchanges. Pressure differentials can cause moisture buildup and dampness if techs don’t exchange the air regularly. When air is exhausted from the containment area, it is replaced by the “make-up air.” Our techs conduct four to twelve air changes per hour to ensure proper ventilation and dilution.
