What Does SERVPRO Do About Mold Damage In Cabinets?

Microscopic mold spores still find their way into cabinet interiors, causing troublesome mold colonies.

Removing Mold Damage From Cabinets

Mold primarily grows in damp, dark conditions, which can describe a number of places in any given home. However, most of these places are somewhat exposed, and the mold is easily visible should someone stumble upon it. Less visible, however, are cabinets and small places. Although these are less accessible and less visible to us humans, microscopic mold spores still find their way into cabinet interiors, causing troublesome mold colonies. SERVPRO uses a number of tactics and advanced equipment to tackle these hard-to-reach colonies of mold.

Drying
In almost every case of mold damage in Millbrook, a thorough drying process is required. Drying ensures that mold can not grow any further, cutting off its most vital nutrient. Although drying will not remove mold already grown, it is important in preventing future patches from reappearing. We use industrial tools and machinery for drying purposes, in order to be as thorough as possible.
 
Scrubbing and Sanitization
Scrubbing off mold is a necessary step, and although cabinet interiors can be hard to reach, we use special brushes and tools to access even the deepest corners. Afterward, sanitizing chemicals are applied to the entire interior, to kill off any isolated spores still alive inside.
 
Odor Removal
What may have alerted you to the mold's presence in the first place is its strong smell. Most types of mold emit strong, foul or musky odors of some sort, and this is a major source of frustration for homeowners dealing with mold. We use ultra-low volume (ULV) foggers for tight spaces, to mask and eliminate odors via airborne chemicals. These machines are specifically designed for mold colonies in places such as cabinets, where larger, room-wide deodorizers are not appropriate.
