SERVPRO wants to insure your business is not in a state of shock, and goes back to normal after a mold issue.

We can keep your business up and running during mold remediation in Naples.

Mold can develop rapidly in your Naples gym if there is excess moisture in your premises. In a gym, moisture can accumulate from various sources including residue moisture left over from cleaning activities or steam as patrons take showers. Water loss incidents can also lead to mold growth. Regardless of the source, controlling the problem in time is crucial. However, you might be forced to close down your operations during the removal processes.

Understanding the Patterns of Mold Debris

To perform commercial mold removal in your Naples gym without closing down your daily operations requires deliberate steps to protect the people using the facility. Mold debris quickly dissipates into the air when disturbed and can cause health problems when inhaled. In a fitness center, the impact can be significant since people breathe in and out at a higher rate as they exercise, which can pile up the percentage of debris inhaled within a short while. Our SERVPRO technicians, therefore, follow approaches that minimize the debris released.

Targeted Identification

Mold removal is a multistep process, and each step must be carried out correctly to prevent a recurrence. The essential ones include:

• Identifying Infested Areas
• Cleaning Mold Colonies
• Removing Affected Porous Materials
• Drying Any Underlying Moisture Problems

Since most of the infestation is restricted to confined spaces, the identification phase can involve significant teardown, thus interrupting your normal operations. To avoid this, our SERVPRO technicians use targeted approaches such as checking for hidden moisture pockets using FLIR thermal cameras, thus eliminating the need to open up walls. We can also make test cuts on walls ensuring we only demolish affected areas during removal.

Use of Containment Barriers

Isolating affected areas before starting removal processes helps prevent the spread of debris. Establishing negative air pressure and running air filtration devices with HEPA filters in the contained areas can help ensure no contamination reaches the rest of your facility where customers exercise. Our SERVPRO technicians use plastic sheets to cover openings such as doors and zipper air-lock containment barriers for other areas.

Mold can interfere with the smooth operation of your fitness center. With help from SERVPRO of Naples / Marco Island, you can keep operating during the remediation process. Call us at (239) 302-5700 to help. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.
