Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

Any amount of moisture in your South Yonkers home or business is enough to cause mold growth. Whether it be from a leak, flood, or even excess humidity, call SERVPRO of Yonkers South to get the water or moisture cleaned up immediately. Mold only takes 48 hours for mold to become a problem. If the mold damage has already begun, we have the know how to mitigate the problem for you. Our experts will first assess the area, then they will return with the proper equipment to handle the water damage or moisture in the space, remove the mold and do the necessary repairs, and sanitize the space to really make sure any trace of mold is gone. When we’re done mitigating the mold issue, your building will be in such a good state, it'll be “Like it never even happened.” When you have a mold emergency, get in touch with SERVPRO.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these 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 a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • 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.
