Pool Parties Can Leave Your Home Hosting Mold Damage In Coral Gables

Holding a pool party for your friends might sound like an excellent way to socialize in Coral Gables, but tidying up takes time afterward. Not only must your home get a good cleaning, but any areas left damp from showering and changing out of wet swimwear needs a thorough drying session. Running the exhaust fan in each bathroom can help.

When airing out locations left damp, or even drenched, mold damage in your Coral Gables home can take hold. SERVPRO can help prevent the further spreading of microbes and get your home's interior environment back under your control. Mold and mildew do not require extreme elevations of humidity to become active, so we find it crucial that we restore normal levels of moisture in your home first.

We dry out your home's damper areas with desiccant machines and search for trapped moisture that can seep out and feed microbes. When materials become inundated with microbes, they often become too damaged for us to restore. We enclose such areas with heavy-gauge plastic sheets. With an air scrubber and flexible tubing, we eliminate microbes and spores from the space as we cut mold-damaged materials away from your home's framework.

Because plastic also holds in moisture, bags that might harbor mold in the case of forgotten wet laundry from the pool also work to keep moisture and microbes from escaping as we pull ruined drywall from your home. Before anything leaves a negative pressure chamber, we double bag it and knot it to keep everything securely inside. We can then remove these safely to the outside of your home.

Treating once-moldy areas with antimicrobial liquids that dry fast keep mold from coming back again. This and keeping a dehumidifier on hand for future parties can keep your home free of mold infestations. We can help you choose one that you can easily control and use.

SERVPRO of South Miami wants to assure our customers in Key Biscayne and Coconut Grove that we're here to help resolve any problems they experience involving mold damage in their residence. Calling us at (305) 269-8900 gets the remediation process started, where we make everything “Like it never even happened.”
