Our Certified Technicians Properly Remediate Mold Infestations Regardless of the Climate

Individuals often believe that the risk of mold causing problems in Denver homes decreases as the weather grows cooler. Unfortunately, with over 100,000 strains of mold known to researchers, many are noted to proliferate in chilly circumstances. Other factors also affect the number of active colonies inside a home. We are available to assess and remediate mold growth any time of the year.
 
Mold damage in Denver actually can increase during the cooler months for many reasons. Although it would seem that the indoor air in your home should be trending drier as the heat begins to operate, some spaces in your home may be more humid than ever. Ambient humidity of over 60 percent can support mold growth without the need for a flooding event, leaks, or spills. We are familiar with this phenomenon and have proven strategies to help you abate the problem.
 
Humidity rises in areas where water use is frequent, including kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas. The colder temperature outside means windows open during the summer and fall are now closed, trapping the moist warm air inside. Mold spores need just a bit of moisture to sprout and grow. The condensation on a cold window or tiles in a shower stall is enough to initiate and multiply a colony of mold. Moldy substances are also kicked or raked up with the autumn leaves, walking right into your home. If boots and shoes are damp, or the mudroom floor has an absorbent rug, mold has found a new home. SERVPRO mold specialists quickly isolate these problems and have solutions to eliminate the mold damage fast.
 
The SERVPRO remediation team contains the moldy materials using physical barriers or a negative pressure air scrubber during removal. We then disinfect the area and move on to the source of the moisture. Until exhaust fans are installed or used correctly, we dehumidify the air in the rooms with humidity-fueled mold. Our technicians measure moisture levels and run fans or dehumidifiers until drying targets are met. Mudrooms need a routine cleaning and a tray where footwear can shed moisture, and then have that water discarded.
