Content Cleaning Methods During Mold Removal 

SERVPRO techs aim to preserve your property’s contents to the greatest extent possible, reducing replacement costs. We use industry-leading tools and techniques to offer a thorough and safe mold remediation process tailored to the situation.

We use appropriate mold cleaning methods based on various factors, including the material composition, condition, and damage location. In some cases, a combination of techniques is necessary to facilitate the remediation of the contents.   

We use the following methods to clean mold damage:

• Air-based methods: We use these methods to clean semi-porous and non-porous contents outside or in laminar airflow. We use these methods when engineering controls are adequate to prevent excessive contaminant buildup. 
• Liquid-based methods: These rely on water combined with physical or mechanical cleaning to dislodge mold from surfaces. 
• Abrasive methods: SERVPRO techs use a medium or material to dislodge contamination in these methods. Some examples of abrasive methods include sanding, scraping, brushing, and media blasting. 

The primary focus of these cleaning methods is to remove mold from the salvageable contents. We aim to preserve your property’s contents to the greatest extent possible, cutting the costs of replacements. We use industry-leading tools and techniques to offer a thorough and safe mold remediation process tailored to the situation.

Encapsulation in Mold Restoration 

Encapsulation involves coating a porous or semi-porous material from which mold cannot be entirely removed. Techs might use materials like shellac, varnish, or lacquer for encapsulation. 

While it is not a cleaning method, the IICRC recommends it in the following situations:

• Coating or irreplaceable unfinished wood items with shellac or varnish
• Lamination of irreplaceable or valuable documents between two polyethylene sheets.
