How New Orleans Gym Owners Can Choose Trustworthy Mold Removal Companies?

If you run a gym in New Orleans, you know that high standards of health and hygiene are vitally important. Therefore, you must be careful when choosing contractors to help maintain your business premises.

Why would a New Orleans gym need mold removal companies? Because sometimes with even high cleaning standards, mold can still grow. The microscopic spores can flourish anywhere with moisture, oxygen, and a food source to sustain them.

Can I just clean the mold myself?

SERVPRO does not recommend cleaning the mold yourself. Home concoctions and remedies are not as effective as professional cleaning, and some of them (such as using bleach) can even make the problem worse. It is far better to call in experts who know the best way to handle mold infestations and spores so that you can focus on your gym business.

Here are three questions to ask mold removal companies.

  1. Do you have specially trained mold technicians?

You want to know that the people you hire have the knowledge you need. Each SERVPRO franchise has several mold remediations experts. Our Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification accredited technicians:

  • Undergo thorough training at each branch
  • Specialize in remediating mold growth
  • Use the latest industry-standard equipment
  1. Will your team use proper containment?

Containment means:

  • Surrounding the affected area with plastic sheeting
  • Taping up all ducts, vents, doors, seams and anywhere else mold spores could escape
  • Setting up a second decontamination area if necessary (this is not needed in every case) as a staging area
  • Setting up air scrubbers or negative air machines to remove particles from the air

Containment helps prevent the spread of mold spores to other parts of your gym and is a vital factor for effective mold remediation. SERVPRO technicians use containment when dealing with fungi.

  1. What happens after mold remediation?

As a business owner, you know the importance of good customer safety and service, and you want to receive excellent customer reviews. Ask your mold remediation company about their follow up process.

Our team will check in with you after a week to make sure you are happy with your mold cleanup, and to answer any further concerns.
