Mould is a fungus that can be found both indoors and outdoors. No one knows how many species of mould exist, but estimates range from tens of thousands to even three hundred thousand, or more. Mould spreads and reproduces by creating spores. Spores can survive conditions that are too sunny, hot, cold, dry or wet for mould to grow. When spores are released they can be carried by air or water to new locations and cause new mould growth.
When required, your ServiceMaster Restore Project Manager will take out the appropriate permit(s) on your behalf, identifying our company as the general contractor. If applicable, permit fees are included in the estimate and may be covered by the insurance company.
Prevention is key when protecting your commercial property. While many restoration companies are only available to provide repair services after a disaster has already occurred, proactive planning is the best way to minimize the extent of damages when unexpected events happen. Our SRM Large Loss program provides businesses with access to a team of experienced professionals who specialize in assessing risks and creating customized plans that address potential disasters before they happen. We identify vulnerabilities and develop strategies to minimize the impact of a disaster, considering factors such as the size, location, and assets of each company. This approach ensures that our clients have detailed protocols they can follow in case of a catastrophic event such as severe weather or fire damage.
