SERVPRO techs work safely first and foremost when handling commercial water damage cleanup such as in this Newark retail store. The signs warning of a wet floor during the mitigation process help to avoid slip and fall accidents.

When it comes to mold damage remediation, sometimes Newark property owners mistake the visible presence of mold as another issue. Mold colonies may appear in many colors, as shown in this photo: yellow. No matter what the color, the techs have the equipment and experience to handle it.

To avoid cross-contamination during mold damage remediation in Newark, SERVPRO technicians put up plastic barriers. The technician shown is removing the damaged wall down to the plywood. It is commonplace for technicians to run an air scrubber that captures airborne mold spores.
