This was a water loss in Lilburn, Georgia. A sprinkler broke and caused this loss. SERVPRO of Gwinnett County South came out and during demo we located this pre-existing microbial growth. We were able to remediate it while completing the demo for water mitigation.

This picture is from a mold loss in Lilburn, GA. The cause of loss was from a dishwasher leak that had been ongoing for some time. The dark discoloration shows the extent of microbial growth found when we removed the dishwasher.

SERVPRO of Gwinnett County South sent some of our crew to get Lead Certified. During class they taught them how to put on proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This should also be worn during mold remediation. We were lucky enough to be able to snap a picture of that.

SERVPRO of Gwinnett County South hosted a CE (Continuing Education) class today. This class was about Understanding Mold in the Restoration Industry and was taught by Jon Minecci. This picture shows Mr. Minecci going through slides with our guests.

SERVPRO of Gwinnett County South makes sure our employees are always fitted with the correct Personal Protective Equipment or PPE. Here you will see one of our employees being shown how to put on a full face respirator.

There are several different kinds of media blasting that can be used to remove severe mold damage or soot damage to a building's structure.  The two most popular are soda blasting and dry ice blasting.  Both mediums have their own pros and cons and should be discussed with a professional before simply choosing one.  We used dry ice blasting on the flooring joists of this home in Atlanta.  We chose dry ice as our medium because of the easy clean-up, but also had to monitor oxygen and gas levels in the confined area.
