If not effectively remediated, water losses can become mold growth events.

SERVPRO Can Help Address All Types of Mold Infestations in Winnetka Business Premises

Noticing signs of mold at your business premises can be worrisome since most of your clients and even staff members may be wary of spending time in a moldy environment. The signs you notice may also not reveal the complete picture. For example, there may be a full-blown infestation in a wall cavity where you see moldy spots.

Thorough mold damage remediation in Winnetka requires a combination of skills so that evaluation and removal can be done satisfactorily. SERVPRO avails IICRC Certified mold remediation technicians who can evaluate the infestation in your property to determine whether it is severe. We use various approaches to do such evaluation, including:

• Drilling exploratory holes in cavities such as ceilings, walls, or cabinets then using borescopes for inspection
• Checking for moisture trapped in hidden areas using thermal cameras
• Tapping or pressing materials since mold growth can ruin their structural integrity

Depending on the results, we can tell whether mold growth is restricted to the material's surface or whether it goes further and thus requires extensive removal processes.
