SERVPRO Is Roxbury’s Expert Mold Removal Firm
Mold is a common part of our environment, and our Roxbury homes are never entirely free of it. With that said, this fungus doesn’t really pose a threat to your residence until conditions are right for its growth on household surfaces. As with all other organisms, mold has a life cycle and develops in predictable ways. Knowing this information is key to effectively dealing with mold.
SERVPRO has been performing mold removal services in Roxbury for several years now and, over that time, has gained extensive experience in dealing with this troublesome microbe. Our highly-skilled team of mold specialists has routinely done mold inspection work, completed mold removal projects throughout numerous homes, and successfully remediated the effects of black mold. SERVPRO has been aided in its various efforts by its knowledge concerning the mold development cycle. When it comes to this cycle, we understand that:
- Mold spores are present nearly everywhere inside and outside your residence and only need the right conditions to develop into full-blown mold growths
- These microbes are moisture-loving and generally require indoor relative humidity levels above 60% to sprout and grow
- Mold usually develops and thrives in temperatures between 68 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit but can survive in temperatures as low as 32 or as high as 122 degrees Fahrenheit
- This fungus needs an organic food source to consume, like wood, drywall, paper, insulation, or natural fibers
- The typical life process of mold starts with airborne spores, then these seeds land on surfaces and develop into a network of structures known as hyphae if conditions are right, and finally, the hyphae produce new spores
So, armed with this knowledge, SERVPRO of Jamaica Plain/Roxbury is ready to assist you. Call us anytime for mold removal or related service at (617) 466-6909.
