Why SERVPRO for Mold Remediation for Your Buffalo Grove Property

Additions to your home like sunrooms and three-season porches often lack the same roof coverings and underpinnings as the rest of your house. As a result, climate control is more difficult within these rooms, causing a potential imbalance of humid air or condensation inside, leading to mold growth. SERVPRO is uniquely positioned to help you remediate this problem.

Even trace amounts of moisture feed mold, continuing the damage. For example, if you have a sunroom with a flat roof, no basement, or a porch with a neglected crawlspace and ill-fitting windows, water finds many ways to invade and nurture microbial growth. We are experts in locating, containing, and removing mold damage in Buffalo Grove and help you recognize the changes needed to keep the moisture out.

Mold Inspection

Perhaps the water drained poorly from a flat roof, or a window allowed water to blow inside a porch. Dark staining on the ceiling, crumbling wood, and a musty smell are the clues. SERVPRO staff contains the visible mold and searches above the ceiling or behind walls to see if other structures have microbial colonies. The mold is removed from the surfaces as much as possible, but if it invades within drywall or deep into the wood, the building materials must come out as well. We disinfect the areas, sealing if indicated with proper products, and dispose of the moldy debris. Our team works with other contractors when needed to replace the missing components, restoring the look and function of the rooms.

SERVPRO technicians also search for a way to prevent the water from infiltrating. Roof repair or drainage reconfiguring is a possible set of answers. Windows receiving caulking and proper vapor barriers under, and over uninsulated areas help even out humidity levels and condensation problems. We realize these types of rooms are tricky to maintain in regions where the weather hits both extremes of cold and heat. Heavy precipitation, water, sleet, ice, and snow all contribute and need to be dealt with proactively. Our AMRT crew prides itself on helping with these complex problems in our wide-ranging climate.
