Drywall Mold Removal Approaches

Drywall is one of the most frequently used building materials in the modern home, so it can quickly become involved with spreading mold organisms when these threats exist. Our experienced remediation professionals can work fast to preserve the construction elements of your home when these disasters strike.

How Damaged Is the Drywall?

When you assess the need for mold removal in your Newark home, it is common to see elements like the drywall impacted. These gypsum board installations are highly porous and readily sensitive to mold development and the spread of organisms. When these panels act as a host for colonies, the physical appearance of these elements begins to change. Some signs that mold could be unsalvageable might include:

  • Crumbling
  • Bloating
  • Mold spotting

Will Surface Cleaning Suffice?

In some situations with minimal damage to the drywall panels, it is possible to employ surface cleaning solutions to eliminate developing mold colonies. Antimicrobial and sporicidal agents of our inventory can get used to destroy mold spores on contact when applied to surfaces. They can also serve as an inhibitor preventing further mold damage threats moving forward through the recovery process. 

What is Most Cost-Effective?

Another consideration is the cost incurred with the lengthy remediation processes. Drywall is among the most common building materials used in wall systems for homes and businesses, making it a readily available replacement material when necessary. Removing the affected drywall panels with minor damage is often deemed more cost-efficient than attempting a costlier remediation approach that ultimately lengthens the overall restoration time. 

Mold removal can be more of a consideration than many homeowners believe. Moist conditions can rapidly impact building materials like drywall, forcing several decisions on the best restoration and remediation solutions. SERVPRO of Newark can help get your home back to normal after mold damage when you call (302) 733-7933.
