MOLD REMEDIATION BY AN IICRC CERTIFIED FIRM

Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours after a water intrusion and often spreads behind walls, beneath flooring, inside crawlspaces, attics, and HVAC systems long before it becomes visible. Whether your property has experienced a burst pipe, flooded basement, roof leak, appliance failure, or storm damage, prompt professional mold remediation helps protect your home and limits additional structural damage.

ServiceMaster of Mid Nebraska provides professional mold remediation in Lexington, NE for residential and commercial properties throughout Dawson County. As an IICRC Certified Firm, we follow nationally recognized industry standards for mold inspection support, containment, air filtration, safe removal of contaminated materials, cleaning, and drying.

Our trained technicians utilize commercial-grade HEPA filtration equipment, negative air machines, specialized cleaning products, moisture detection equipment, and proven remediation procedures to help return your property to a clean, healthy condition. Every mold project is different, which is why we develop a remediation plan based on the extent of contamination and the unique construction of your property.

Because mold is usually the result of excess moisture, we also identify and address the underlying water source whenever possible to reduce the likelihood of future mold growth. Whether you're dealing with a small area of visible mold or widespread contamination following water damage, our team is available 24 hours a day to respond.

Whether mold is discovered in a basement, crawlspace, attic, commercial building, agricultural facility, or following a water damage event, our experienced restoration professionals respond quickly to help identify the source of moisture, contain the affected area, and safely remove mold contamination.

Because we live and work in Central Nebraska, we understand the conditions that can contribute to mold growth in Lexington-area properties, including plumbing leaks, basement moisture, roof leaks, storm damage, flooding, seasonal humidity, and hidden moisture inside building materials.

Homeowners and businesses throughout Lexington trust our team because we provide:

• IICRC Certified restoration professionals
• Advanced moisture detection equipment
• HEPA air filtration and negative air containment
• Safe demolition and removal of contaminated building materials when necessary
• Structural drying to address hidden moisture

• 24/7 emergency response

Our goal is to restore your property safely while minimizing disruption to your home or business.

OUR PROFESSIONAL MOLD REMEDIATION PROCESS

Every mold situation is unique, but our remediation projects generally follow the same proven process developed by the IICRC. Our goal is to safely remove mold contamination, address the source of moisture, and restore your Lexington property as efficiently as possible.

1. Thorough Inspection & Moisture Assessment

We begin by inspecting the affected areas to identify visible mold, hidden moisture, and the source of the water intrusion. Moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras help locate moisture behind walls, ceilings, and flooring.

2. Containment

To prevent mold spores from spreading, we isolate the affected area using containment barriers and establish negative air pressure when appropriate.

3. HEPA Air Filtration

Commercial HEPA air scrubbers continuously filter airborne mold spores and microscopic particles throughout the remediation process.

4. Removal of Contaminated Materials

Building materials that cannot be successfully cleaned—including drywall, insulation, carpeting, or other porous materials—are safely removed and properly disposed of when necessary.

5. Cleaning & Antimicrobial Treatment

Remaining structural surfaces are professionally cleaned using specialized remediation techniques, HEPA vacuuming, and antimicrobial products designed for mold remediation.

6. Structural Drying

Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers remove trapped moisture from building materials to help prevent future mold growth.

7. Final Inspection & Clearance

Once remediation is complete, we verify that affected materials have been properly cleaned and dried. When requested or appropriate for the project, we can coordinate independent third-party clearance testing before reconstruction begins.

Many homeowners also choose to schedule professional carpet and upholstery cleaning as well as air duct cleaning to help remove residual dust, debris, and odors associated with the remediation process. ServiceMaster of Mid Nebraska offers comprehensive cleaning services to help return your Lexington home to a clean, comfortable condition.

COMMON CAUSES OF MOLD IN LEXINGTON HOMES & BUSINESSES

Mold requires moisture to grow, making water damage the leading cause of mold problems in homes and commercial buildings throughout Lexington and Dawson County. Even a small leak that goes unnoticed can create the damp conditions mold needs to spread behind walls, beneath flooring, inside crawlspaces, and above ceilings.

Some of the most common causes of mold growth we encounter include:

• Burst or leaking plumbing pipes
• Flooded basements
• Roof leaks following severe Nebraska storms
• Appliance supply line failures
• Overflowing sinks, tubs, or washing machines
• Sewage backups
• High indoor humidity
• Poor ventilation in bathrooms and laundry rooms
• Condensation around windows and HVAC systems
• Water left behind after an incomplete drying process

Because mold often develops in hidden areas, you may notice a musty odor long before you actually see visible growth. If you've recently experienced water damage, scheduling a professional inspection can help identify hidden moisture before it leads to a larger remediation project.

Our team not only performs professional mold remediation but also offers water damage restoration, structural drying, and moisture detection services designed to help prevent mold from returning.

SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE HIDDEN MOLD

Mold is not always immediately visible. It can develop behind walls, beneath flooring, above ceilings, inside insulation, or in other concealed areas where moisture remains trapped.

Signs that may indicate a hidden mold or moisture problem include:

• Musty or unusual odors
• Visible staining or discoloration
• Water stains on walls or ceilings
• Soft, swollen, or deteriorating drywall
• Recurring condensation
• Peeling paint or damaged finishes
• Previous flooding or water damage
• Areas that remain damp longer than expected

If your property has recently experienced a plumbing leak, roof leak, basement water intrusion, flooding, or another moisture problem, a professional inspection can help identify hidden moisture before the damage becomes more extensive.

WHY IMMEDIATE MOLD REMOVAL MATTERS

Ignoring mold rarely makes the problem go away. As moisture continues to be present, mold colonies can expand and affect additional building materials over time. What begins as a small area behind a baseboard or inside a wall cavity can eventually require significantly more extensive restoration.

Prompt remediation offers several important benefits:

• Limits the spread of mold contamination
• Helps protect drywall, framing, insulation, and flooring
• Identifies hidden moisture before additional damage occurs
• Improves indoor air quality
• Reduces the likelihood of costly structural repairs
• Helps prepare your home for reconstruction sooner

If your property recently experienced a plumbing failure, storm damage, or another water loss, acting quickly may significantly reduce both the extent of mold growth and the overall restoration process.

INSURANCE CLAIMS ASSISTANCE

If mold develops as the result of a sudden and accidental covered water loss—such as a burst pipe, appliance failure, or storm-related water intrusion—your homeowners insurance policy may provide coverage for portions of the remediation and restoration process.

Our experienced team has worked with many insurance carriers and understands the documentation often required during the claims process. We can assist by:

• Documenting moisture damage
• Photographing affected areas
• Providing detailed project information
• Communicating with your insurance adjuster
• Helping coordinate restoration services from mitigation through reconstruction

Coverage varies by policy, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider as soon as possible after discovering water damage or mold.

HOW TO HELP PREVENT FUTURE MOLD GROWTH

While not every mold problem can be prevented, reducing excess moisture is the most effective way to protect your property.

Consider these preventative measures:

• Repair plumbing leaks as soon as they are discovered.
• Address roof leaks before moisture spreads into the attic or walls.
• Maintain indoor humidity below approximately 50%.
• Use bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans during and after use.
• Ensure gutters and downspouts direct water away from your home's foundation.
• Inspect crawlspaces and basements regularly for signs of moisture.
• Dry water-damaged materials as quickly as possible following leaks or flooding.
• Schedule professional water damage restoration after significant water losses to help prevent future mold growth.

Routine inspections and prompt repairs can often prevent a small moisture issue from becoming a major mold remediation project.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can mold come back after remediation?

Yes. Mold can return if the underlying moisture problem is not corrected. Professional mold remediation addresses existing mold growth and contaminated materials, but mold spores are naturally present in the environment.

If excess moisture from a plumbing leak, roof leak, basement water intrusion, high humidity, flooding, or another water source returns, new mold growth can develop. Correcting moisture problems and maintaining appropriate indoor humidity are important parts of reducing the risk of future mold growth.

How quickly can mold begin growing after water damage?

Under the right conditions, mold can begin developing within 24 to 48 hours after water damage if moisture is not properly removed.

Can mold grow behind walls?

Yes. Mold frequently develops inside wall cavities, under flooring, above ceilings, inside crawlspaces, and other concealed spaces where moisture is present.

Should I remove mold myself?

Small surface mold may be cleaned in certain situations, but larger areas or mold resulting from water damage should be evaluated by trained professionals to help prevent contamination from spreading.

Do you work with insurance companies?

Yes. When mold results from a covered water loss, we routinely work with insurance companies and adjusters throughout the restoration process.

Do you only serve Lexington?

No. We proudly serve homeowners and businesses throughout Lexington, Dawson County, and many surrounding Central Nebraska communities.
