SERVPRO Can Fog Industrial Grade Disinfectants to Help Contain Widespread Mold Contamination

Mold presents many challenges once it develops in a property. Hiring mold removal companies helps ease the mitigation. The company can provide certified microbial remediation technicians who can determine the extent of the contamination. After evaluating the spread, action is necessary to address the contamination.

Chemical application is one of the ways mold removal companies can help Dallas homeowners address the problem, "Like it never even happened." If SERVPRO determines widespread chemical use is necessary for your property, we take elaborate measures to guarantee the process delivers the desired outcome.

The chemicals that help control mold development include:

  • Biocides
  • Fungistats
  • Sporicides
  • Antimicrobials

One of the products that SERVPRO uses is Modec Decon Formula 500 if we determine that chemical action is necessary to deal with contamination on walls, ceilings, or floors. The product requires proper mixing, application, and sufficient dwell time. Our technicians can apply the product as an aerosol mist using ULV foggers or spray it on surfaces using an electric sprayer, ensuring ample contact with mold residues. We also seal the building for at least 1 to 4 hours for sufficient exposure to the targeted microbes.

Other remediation procedures are still necessary even when using a strong chemical like MDF-500. Such methods remove mold residues and heavily infested materials. Our SERVPRO technicians help demolish sections with porous materials like insulation. We also HEPA-vacuum hard surfaces if they are visibly contaminated with residues. Vacuuming also helps remove trace residues from structural supports after demolition and removal of other materials.

Your property may require more than one treatment with the chemical agent. Our SERVPRO IICRC Certified technicians schedule the second decontamination after completing cleaning and controlled demolition. Fogging and sealing the building for up to 4 hours ensures that the product reaches all opened-up areas.

SERVPRO of Southeast Dallas County is one of the trusted mold removal companies to help you realize long-term results. Call us at (972) 227-0800.
