For moulds to grow and reproduce, they need a damp environment and an organic food source, such as cellulose, which is found in many building materials such as wood, drywall, ceiling tiles, and other household materials such as carpeting and fabrics. Mould can also grow in a home’s HVAC system, gutters, roof, foundation, and other areas where the environment encourages mould growth.
Using professional biohazard cleanup services, like ServiceMaster Restore, is crucial to properly and safely handle hazardous materials. Our highly trained technicians have the expertise, specialized products and equipment necessary to effectively remove biological waste and disinfect pathogens. Attempting to clean up biohazards on your own can be dangerous and may result in spreading infectious contamination to other areas of your home. We isolate the affected area, remove any unsalvageable items, and thoroughly clean and disinfect to ensure a safe living environment for you and your family.
When required, your ServiceMaster Restore Project Manager will take out the appropriate permit(s) on your behalf, identifying our company as the general contractor. If applicable, permit fees are included in the estimate and may be covered by the insurance company.
