Plastic Containment

SERVPRO of Carteret and East Onslow Counties does a tremendous mold remediation business, this was a recent job in Morehead City.  We had an office building that had some mold issues as a result of a leaking roof. As is always the case, mold cannot be eliminated without first removing the source of moisture. We informed our customer that the roof needed to be repaired or replaced before the remediation would be successful.  They had a new roof put on and the leaks went away.  After a thorough assessment, SERVPRO determined only the back 1/3 of the building was affected.  It was necessary to seal off that portion of the building to keep the mold spores from contaminating the whole structure. With containment barriers and a negative air machine in place, we removed and discarded damaged and moldy building materials, and then we cleaned everything else.  The employees of this business could tell a big difference immediately once again, they feel safe at work.
