No matter how diligent you are, or how many precautions you take mold may still find its way into your home.  Finding mold can be alarming and you may want to start tackling the issue right away; however, mold remediation is not a DIY task.  If you find mold in your home, there are steps you can take to prevent further damage. 

  • First, you should stay out of affected areas. Disturbed mold spores may be irritating.  Some people are especially sensitive to mold and can have more severe reactions than others.
  • Next, turn off the HVAC systems and fans right away to prevent the distribution of mold spores to other areas of your home.
  • Your next step should be to contact SERVPRO of Mobile County to schedule an inspection with one of our IICRC Certified Applied Microbial Remediation Specialists. 

Our experts have undergone extensive training to evaluate your mold issues and develop a customized treatment plan catered to your unique situation.  If you suspect a mold issue in your home, contact us at 251-343-0534 to schedule your inspection.
