SERVPRO's remediation approach extends beyond merely detecting mold damage at your Waco home. Our team, equipped with advanced tools and drawing upon years of experience, adopts a holistic strategy to address mold issues. Our remediation encompasses not only the removal of visible mold but also the treatment of areas susceptible to hidden mold growth.

SERVPRO’s Mold Remediation Process

SERVPRO technicians employ a comprehensive approach to mold remediation in Waco homes, utilizing various tools, equipment, and materials. Industry standards underpin our strategy and focus on thoroughness and safety.

Here are the steps involved in the process: 

• SERVPRO techs begin with an assessment using moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras. Once the affected areas are identified, techs set up an appropriate containment level. It typically involves using plastic sheeting and negative air pressure to prevent microscopic spores from getting airborne and spreading to unaffected areas.
• For mold removal, SERVPRO techs use manual and mechanical methods. Manual methods include scrubbing and wiping surfaces. Mechanical methods involve air scrubbers and HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums, which are crucial in filtering out tiny mold spores from the air.
• In cases of extensive mold damage, techs may use demolition tools to remove heavily affected materials like drywall or insulation. These materials are safely disposed of, and the areas are treated before reconstruction. 

Deodorization after mold removal

For odor control, SERVPRO employs fogging equipment and air purifiers. These help eliminate any lingering moldy odors, ensuring your home is not only mold-free but also feels fresh and clean.

Mold Testing-Protocol-Remediation

Mold Terms

Testing - Testing/assessing is done by taking air samples  and surface samples and sending them off for analysis at at a lab.  In Texas mold assessment/testing and mold remediation are split into two separately licensed business professions.  One cannot test for mold and also remediate mold.  Of course the testing has to be done first.

Protocol - The protocol is a written plan from the mold testing results of what has to be done to remove mold affected materials and get the building to "acceptable levels" of mold.  Acceptable levels are not zero mold.  Wherever you are right now, you are breathing some mold.  It is just there.  Elevated levels are the problem.

Mold assessors write the protocol so one should make sure it is included in the testing fees and not presented as an add-on charge later.

Remediation - Ding, ding, ding!  That's where SERVPRO of Waco, a restoration company comes in.  We are licensed mold remediation contractors with a 21 year history of successful mold remediation and many happy customers in the greater Waco and whole Central Texas area.

We would certainly be glad to help you through each step in dealing with mold in your home, business or institution.

Mold under the cabinet

This is the kind of mold that feed one's imagination.  Not because of the species of mold it is, as we don't know the species.

What it does is say that yes, sometimes there is mold you don't see at first.

Actually, the inside bottom of this Whitney, TX, area water damaged cabinet was very discolored in the back one-fourth section giving indication there probably was more of it.

There was also minor mold on the wall next to this free standing cabinet.

The cabinet was removed from the home and the area cleaned and remediated.

The Wall that Keeps On Giving

9/10/2020 (Permalink)

All from the wall

Every so often, after removing trim and, subsequently drilling drying holes, in a very wet wall, we come across an area with sand or something inside the wall cavity.

This one takes the cake.  This picture is from in front of a Teague, TX, bathroom vanity.  We kept getting more and more soil out of this wall.

Turns out, after the wall was opened, it was discovered a gopher had tunneled under the home.  The wall backs up to the bath tub for the hall bath and is a pretty open area.

Just when we think we've seen it all.

126 Ava Dr. - Hewitt, TX

Our base for several years

SERVPRO of Waco, a restoration company, spent several years operating out of our warehouse on Ava Dr. in Hewitt.

What a great place.  Everything is close by, plenty of places to grab a bite to eat and the folks are friendly.

From our Ava Dr. location in Hewitt, we serviced Hewitt and the greater Waco and Central Texas area, helping folks through damages affecting their homes and buildings.

Many memories over on Ava Dr. - driving our vehicle through water deeper than we ever should have - pushing one of our trucks out of the parking lot and coasting down to the mechanic's parking lot.

Alas, when the buildings were sold several years later, we had to move.  Now we are a mile or two up the road and across the parking lot into Woodway.  Still near Hewitt and frequenting the businesses there.

Texas Mold License Certificate

9/20/2019 (Permalink)

Yes, we are a licensed mold remediation contractor!

In 2001, SERVPRO of Waco was trained and became a mold remediation contractor and helped hundreds of homeowners and business owners navigate through mold issues.

Yes, we are one of the honest ones from way back.

One of the things we see most in mold situations is panic.  While the presence of mold is some cause for concern, mold also has an affect of imaginations.  Fear that there is more than one can see.

Keeping calm and seeking information is the best first step.

One thing to keep in mind, if one has mold, or thinks there is mold, the first question is where is there water where water shouldn't be.  

Mold is the result of water/moisture being where it shouldn't be.

Mold remediation in Texas does require a state issued license.  Our mold remediation contractor license is attached below.

If you are concerned about potential mold problems please give us a call.

Wall Moisture Meter Reading

9/18/2019 (Permalink)

One Wet Wall.

At SERVPRO of Waco, a restoration company, we use a variety of tools and instruments to locate the moisture in a building and to monitor progress when we are drying it. 

One we use heavily is the "wall meter", moisture encounter, which sends out and receives back a signal gauging moisture content in materials.  I must admit, after this point I am out of my element to tell you how it works.

The reading on the drywall wall pictured shows the gauge meter to be buried past the scale face.  This is a very damp wall which needs dried out.

The 1" hole was drilled into through the drywall into the wall cavity.  This allows air from the drying equipment to get into and up the back side of the wall cavity as well as on the front side.

This particular wall was in a water extraction water damage near Hamilton TX.

The wall was successfully dried out and the replacement trim will cover the 1" hole.  One can see the trim line just below the meter.

It will be "Like it never even happened".

The Pump House

9/16/2019 (Permalink)

So...this is where the water shut off is!

Sometimes we at SERVPRO of Waco restoration company need to turn off the water, or occasionally turn on the water in water damage and water extraction jobs. 

And sometimes we need to find it in a hurry, as in this case.  On this ranch in the Hamilton, TX area we couldn't find the cut off near the house.  Couldn't find it anywhere around the front gate and road frontage near the front gate, after driving down to it.  Our contact didn't know where it was and couldn't get a hold of those who knew immediately.

Turns out there was a pump house out through the thistles and we had to get out there to it...in shorts.  It was kind of cool it was in a pump house.

SERVPRO of Waco does service the greater Waco area and all of Central Texas, going the extra mile, i.e. in short through the thistles, to help our friends and customers. 

No, that is not modern art.

Interesting Pattern - Disgusting Substance

While the pattern left in this bath tub does have a slightly artist look, it is actually left from a the drainage of a water back up.

This Central Texas home suffered a back up of water through the drain lines running out of the building.

Unfortunately, this was sewage water damage, also called black water or category 3 water.

We at SERVPRO of Waco restoration company removed affected water absorbing materials from the home, disinfected remaining solid materials and concrete floors, after removing carpeting, etc. 

We then air scrubbed the inside air via HEPA filters and got humidity levels to normal ranges.

  Also we cleaned up and disinfected the bath tubs in the home.  Yuck!

They home owners were extremely appreciative for the cleaned and disinfected bathroom fixtures.

A Baby Buggy??

One thing about working around the Baylor University arts buildings is you see some of the most interesting things.

This just appeared one afternoon near our vans, seemingly right out of the blue.

Wasn't there in the morning.  Was there in the afternoon.

It certainly is interesting.  Appears to be a real camper, be it very small, welded onto a rail yard type metal cart.

That and the opera annex were pretty classy things for for a bunch of restoration folks.  We certainly did appreciate it though.  That little corner of the Baylor University campus has art objects around in the grassy areas and numerous steeples to view.

Fortunately, the work which needed our help was on the smaller side, though the shiny surface left when we were finished was sort of "artsy".
