Lutherville Businesses Benefit from SERVPRO Mold Remediation

When people go shopping, they expect not only great deals for the money they spend, but also to have an enjoyable shopping experience. Everything matters, from the lighting to the overall cleanliness of the store (both inside and out) to the customer service staff to the quality of the displays to the air quality.
 
Musty odors are one element that often makes customers decide to not return to a particular shop, and in Lutherville, commercial mold damage can cause this odor to permeate a building's interior. However, odors are not always caused by mold, and an absence of an odor does not guarantee that a retail shop is free of a mold problem. While mold exists everywhere, while it is under control and not growing wildly, it poses few problems.
 
The professional technicians at SERVPRO are trained in the remediation and monitoring of mold and have IICRC certifications in that area and several others. An entirely mold-free environment is a misnomer. Mold control and mold remediation are what we do, and we accomplish this with different measures.
 
These methods include cleaning nonporous materials, cutting away and replacing other materials that have been affected by mold, non-toxic mold-encapsulating sprays, and humidity control measures. As we work, we also use plastic sheeting and air scrubbers to contain mold spores further. This keeps the spread of mold to a minimum. When these spores cannot spread, new growth patches of fungi are mitigated.
 
Without continued humidity control in your retail store, the mold is very likely to return, so it is recommended that the source of the elevated moisture is eliminated, and also that dehumidifiers be installed. We often provide these services to our customers with excellent long-term results.
