Containments During Mold Removal 

SERVPRO mold specialists use IICRC S520 guidelines to establish one of the following types of containments. 

  • Source containment: It is used if visible mold growth is present in a relatively small area of your property. Some examples of source containment include taping a 6-mil poly sheeting on a surface before removing it and wrapping and bagging moldy contents and materials in 6-mil poly packaging. 
  • Local containment: Also called mini containment, it is built using PVC pipes, wood framing, or spring-loaded expansion poles and poly sheeting. SERVPRO techs also use negative air machines in such containments.  
  • Full-scale containment: The method is used when extensive mold damage exists. An entire room or a building section is usually isolated in such containments. 

SERVPRO techs use the appropriate containment method depending on the location and the extent of mold growth. Our techs ensure to brief you about the remediation plan before starting the procedure. 

Decontamination Chambers 

SERVPRO techs use decontamination chambers for decontaminating exterior plastic surfaces or bagged or wrapped contaminated materials and remediation tools. Techs use these areas to prevent the cross-contamination of unaffected areas and provide controls to maintain the pressure differentials.
