SERVPRO Provides Black Mold Damage Repairs in Everett

Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant knows that cleanliness is very important. Both restaurant owners and workers have to follow guidelines set by the state to have a license to sell food. Therefore, if you find black mold somewhere in the building, it could become a serious issue since mold can cause health effects. Once a fungus forms, it can easily spread to other areas with water and an organic food source such as wood.

During commercial mold remediation in Everett, our SERVPRO technicians first work towards finding the source. Slow water leaks or areas in your restaurant where water sits could be the moisture source of mold growth. Once we figure out where the moisture is coming from, we can then inspect your entire building to find all of the restaurant sections that got contaminated. Even if the affected area is small, we can conduct the following operations to make your eatery safe for food serving:

• Mold Inspections and Remediations
• Basement Mold Remediation
• Bathroom Mold Remediation
• Black Mold Damage Repairs
• Attic Mold Remediation

Once a fungus develops, it begins to release microscopic spores into the air. These spores then float around your building and find other places that have moisture and a food source. 

When remediating black mold, our number one goal is to contain the spores and keep the fungus from spreading to previously unaffected areas. We can set up a containment chamber that is hooked up to an air scrubber to do this. The air scrubber creates negative pressure within the contained area, so any spores knocked loose during the work procedures get sucked into a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. 

Even if you only notice a small area in your restaurant that got contaminated by black mold, it is wise to call SERVPRO of North Everett / Lake Stevens / Monroe at (360) 243-8313.
