Digging Deep into Mold and Microbial Growth
1/22/2025 (Permalink)
Mold growth at an unattended local mall.
Mold—it's that unwelcome guest no homeowner wants. But understanding what contributes to mold growth and knowing how to deal with it can make all the difference. Here’s a closer look at the factors that encourage mold growth and how we tackle mold issues with our expert remediation process at SERVPRO of Easton, Bethlehem & Whitehall.
What Contributes to Mold Growth?
1. Moisture: Mold spores need moisture to grow. Leaky pipes, roof leaks, and high humidity levels are common culprits.
2. Warmth: Mold thrives in warm environments. Temperatures between 77 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal for mold growth.
3. Organic Materials: Mold feeds on organic materials such as wood, paper, and fabric. This is why it often appears on walls, floors, and furniture.
4. Stagnant Air: Poor ventilation can trap moisture and create the perfect breeding ground for mold.
Our Process for Mold Remediation
At SERVPRO of Easton, Bethlehem & Whitehall, we follow a comprehensive process to ensure effective mold remediation. Here’s how we do it:
1. Inspection and Assessment: The first step involves a thorough inspection to identify mold growth and determine the extent of the problem. This helps us create a tailored remediation plan.
2. Containment: To prevent the spread of mold spores, we set up containment barriers using plastic sheeting and negative air pressure techniques.
3. Air Filtration: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and powerful air scrubbers are used to remove mold spores from the air.
4. Mold Removal: We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and prevent new ones from forming. Contaminated materials that cannot be cleaned are safely removed and disposed of.
5. Cleaning and Sanitizing: Affected items and surfaces are cleaned and sanitized using specialized cleaning agents and techniques.
6. Restoration: The final step involves restoring your property to its pre-mold condition. This can include minor repairs like replacing drywall or major reconstruction if necessary.
Why Choose Us?
- Certified Experts: Our team is highly trained and certified in mold remediation, ensuring we follow industry standards and best practices.
- Advanced Equipment: We use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to effectively remove mold and improve indoor air quality.
- Customer-Centric Approach: We are dedicated to providing excellent customer service, keeping you informed throughout the remediation process and ensuring your satisfaction.
Prevention Tips
While professional remediation is crucial, there are steps you can take to prevent mold growth in your home:
- Control Humidity: Use dehumidifiers and air conditioners to keep humidity levels below 60%.
- Fix Leaks Promptly: Address any plumbing or roof leaks immediately to prevent moisture buildup.
- Ensure Proper Ventilation: Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to reduce moisture levels.
- Regular Inspections: Conduct routine inspections of your home for any signs of mold or moisture issues.
Conclusion
Mold growth can cause significant damage to your property and pose health risks. However, with our expertise at SERVPRO of Easton, Bethlehem & Whitehall, you can effectively tackle mold problems and restore your home to a safe and healthy environment.

Preventing Frozen Pipe Bursts
1/15/2024 (Permalink)
One of the most common reasons why pipes burst is due to freezing conditions.
After a mild December, the Lehigh Valley is preparing for a very cold January as a polar vortex approaches. On top of snow and ice, freezing temperatures pose a very serious threat for commercial and residential property owners.
Pipe bursts are very frequent during these frigid times, as the water in pipes begins to freeze and expand, leading to unexpected water damage.
Luckily, SERVPRO Team Davis has the tips you need to help prevent your pipes from rupturing.
- Insulation.
- Insulating exposed pipes with foam sleeves or wraps is an effective way to keep pipes from freezing.
- Seal Air Leaks.
- Walking your property and ensuring potential air leaks from windows, doors, or ventilation fans are properly sealed is a great way to stop cold air from reaching your pipes.
- Let Faucets Drip.
- Running a small amount of water through your pipes is a common way of helping prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.
If your commercial or residential property suffers from winter storm related damage, give the highly trained restoration technicians at SERVPRO Team Davis a call!

How to Prepare for Nasty Winter Weather

Winter weather in the Lehigh Valley can cause frozen pipes, ice dams, and puffbacks, leading to serious property damage.
Winter Weather in the Lehigh Valley Can Catch You Off Guard and Cause Serious Problems
Pennsylvania residents are far too familiar with the unpredictable, unexpected nature of winter weather in the area. One day the temperature could be 50 degrees and hope that spring will arrive soon is strong. Then a massive, unexpected winter storm can arrive, leaving a large trail of disaster behind it.
Frozen pipes, puffbacks, and ice dams can all cause serious damage to your residential or commercial property. SERVPRO of Easton, Bethlehem, and Whitehall has professional advice for preparing your home or business for winter storms.
Preparing Your Home for Winter Weather
- Open cabinet doors during cold spells to allow warm air to circulate around pipes.
- Maintain a slow trickle of water flowing from faucets, especially if these pipes run through unheated areas of your home.
- To reduce the risk of puffbacks, ensure routine, proper maintenance of your furnace.
- Avoid ice dams and water damage by making sure gutters are clean of leaves and debris and secure to withstand winter weather.
Preparing Your Business for Winter Weather
- Inspect all stairwells, handrails, and entryways to identify potential slippery and hazardous locations.
- Ensure proper drainage to alleviate the potential of flood damage by inspecting property areas like walkways and parking lots.
- Check your commercial property for fallen tree limbs and branches. Winter weather like wind, snow, heavy rain, and ice can cause branches to fall, leading to potentially serious property or personal injuries.
