Mold Damage

At SERVPRO of Clallam and Jefferson Co., we understand the unique challenges that homeowners and businesses face in our region, particularly when it comes to water damage and mold growth. With the Pacific Northwest’s rainy climate, homes and businesses in Clallam and Jefferson County are at higher risk for mold problems. If left unaddressed, mold can lead to serious damage and potential health risks.

Mold: A Common Issue in Clallam and Jefferson County

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere—indoors and outdoors. This makes it impossible to completely eliminate mold from your home or business. Instead, professional mold remediation aims to reduce the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. While some companies may advertise “mold removal,” this is simply not possible, as mold is always present to some degree.

Mold Facts to Know:

• Mold is everywhere: It can easily enter your home through windows, doors, HVAC systems, or even hitch a ride on your clothes or pets.
• Mold thrives on moisture: When mold spores come into contact with water, they can quickly grow into colonies, potentially producing allergens and irritants.
• Odors and signs: Mold often creates a strong, musty smell and can be an indicator of hidden water damage in your home.
• Humidity is key: Mold can grow even with higher-than-normal humidity levels, so keeping indoor humidity below 45% is crucial.

Effective Mold Remediation

At SERVPRO of Clallam and Jefferson Co., our mold remediation process begins with addressing the source of moisture. Without fixing the underlying cause of the water issue, mold is likely to return. We use advanced technology and equipment to detect, contain, and remediate mold while protecting the integrity of your property.

If you suspect mold in your home or business, don’t wait! Early action is critical in preventing further damage. With our specialized training and expertise, we’ll ensure that your property is returned to a healthy, mold-free state.

In Clallam and Jefferson County, mold can spread through a home in as little as 48 hours.

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold 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 health effects.
• 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.

If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.

Mold In the PNW

Here in the Pacific Northwest mold is prevalent in our outdoor environment everywhere, which sometimes wants to creep into your home and create structural damage. This can sometimes be harmful to your health. SERVPRO of Clallam and Jefferson County is a franchise who can help you with your mold remediation. We work closely with an Environmental Hygienist who has the ability to perform mold testing if the mold smell or concern does not seem to be present visually or is visually present on your materials. They can test to see what your spore counts are and what types of mold are present. The first step is to locate the moisture issue in your home as mold needs moisture and heat to grow. SERVPRO of Clallam and Jefferson County will come in with our moisture meters and infrared camera, upon request, to find where this moisture is coming from. You will then want to fix this issue before the remediation can begin so that no further damage will happen. Once this has been completed you would call our company back out to begin the process. We remove porous materials affected with the visible suspected mold and treat with a hospital grade disinfectant to kill any mold spores that may be left behind. Once the mold remediation has been completed, we can then assess if there needs to be any drying done to any wet materials. We are always available to answer any of your questions regarding mold. Please give us a call at 360-683-0773.
