Moldy Garage Beams in Port Orange

When closed up for the season, and lacking ventilation and a normal Relative Humidity of about 65%, a garage in Port Orange is inviting a mold infestation to occur. And it can, quite often. SERVPRO applied microbial remediation techs can use a process called "soda blasting" to chafe the unwanted mold growths from the beams, floor joists, and the floorboards. When paired with portable, HEPA filtered vacuums, and the garage is sealed with poly sheeting to prevent cross-contamination, this is a neat, water-less solution for mold removal. Once the bare wood has been cleaned of the fungi, an application of an antifungal agent will exterminate what may be left, including the rooted hyphae within the beams. SERVPRO advises all seasonal residents in Florida to maintain the temperature and humidity as described above.
