SERVPRO is just a call away!

SERVPRO of Southwest Portland received a call from a local hospital regarding a mold loss in the kitchen area. During the call, it was explained to us that during meal preparation last week one of the cooks knocked over the fire extinguisher. It continued to spray and get all over the grill.

SERVPRO of Southwest Portland sent out our crew to the hospital with all the equipment to get the job done. Once we arrived we did an initial walk-through with the facilities manager once he took apart the grill it was apparent that there was a strong mold smell. The mold was all over the grill on the outside and in between some of the drawers.

Our crew chief got to work coming up with a plan to best remove mold and get this grill back up to working to feed the hospital's employees and their patients.  Our crew was able to move the grill to a back area to make sure we can remove all the mold and make sure it doesn't get anywhere else in the kitchen. 

Due to how easy mold can spread. SERVPRO of Southwest Portland used concrobium mold control which is an EPA-registered solution that remediates and prevents mold without any harmful chemicals. Concrobium dries to form an invisible antimicrobial shield that encapsulates and physically crushes mold spores. We were able to clean and remove the mold in only one day in order to get the kitchen's grill back up and running for everyone who depends on it!

  Please call SERVPRO of Southwest Portland twenty-four a day seven days a week for any Fire, Water, Mold, or Bio-hazard clean-ups. If you have any questions please give us a call at 503.777.9739.
