Mold Remediation

What is Mold?

Mold is a fungus and can present itself almost everywhere, both indoor and outdoor. Mold spores are microscopic and can enter your home through doors, windows, and even your heating and cooling systems. Once exposed to a water source, the spores can quickly grow into colonies. The mold growth process can start in as little as 48 hours.

What are the warning signs?

The most obvious sign to look out for are dark spots on your ceiling, floors, and walls. It’s important to know, however, that mold may never be visible, as it can grow under the floors and behind the walls. Mold has a harsh, musty odor, which is another sign that it may be growing in your home or business. Because mold can trigger allergies and compromise respiratory systems, you may be experiencing coughing, sneezing, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and headaches, if it’s present.

Step 1: Contact us. Our customer service is on standby 24-hours a day.

Step 2: Home Inspection and Assessment

To better understand your needs, one of our service professionals will come to your home or business and perform an inspection. Because mold feeds on both water and cellulose, it may hide from plain sight. We will use the latest technology to help detect any mold or hidden water sources.

Step 3: Containment

Once we locate problem areas, we will start our containment process to prohibit the further spread of mold. During this process, it is essential to turn off all heat or cooling system fans.

Step 4: Air Filtration

Our high-quality air scrubbers are used to collect any microscopic mold spores that are floating in the air. Our specialized equipment can filter up to 22,000 square feet per day.

Step 5: Treatment and Removal

The treatment plan will depend on the type of mold growth and what surfaces it has affected. We will use a specialized treatment to destroy the mold colonies and prevent any from regrowth. We will then remove any mold-infested materials, such as carpet or drywall.

Step 6: Cleaning

Our team will thoroughly clean all furniture, decor, linens, clothing, and any other restorable items that were affected by the mold. Our team is trained in the safest techniques to help clean and sanitize all your belongings, ensuring there is no odor left behind.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration begins. Depending on the level of damage, our team will replace any damaged drywall, carpet, flooring and any other building materials, and we’ll finish the job with a fresh coat of paint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mold removal is the process of physically removing mold from an area. Mold remediation, on the other hand, is the process of cleaning and repairing an area that has been contaminated with mold. Mold removal is generally more expensive and time-consuming than mold remediation, and it is often not necessary if the mold can be effectively removed through remediation.

Mold removal is a tricky and potentially dangerous business. It’s important to know what you’re doing, and to take the proper precautions, before attempting to remove mold yourself.

There are a few different ways to remove mold, depending on the type of mold and the surface it’s growing on. Surface mold can usually be removed with a simple cleaning solution of soap and water. However, if the mold is growing on porous surfaces like wood or drywall, it may be necessary to use a stronger cleanser or even bleach.

If you’re dealing with mold that has taken hold of an entire room or building, it’s best to call in a professional remediation company. These companies have the experience and training necessary to safely remove mold.

Mold can come back after remediation if the conditions that allowed for mold growth in the first place are not corrected. For example, if there is a leak in your home that is not fixed, mold can grow back in the same spot. Additionally, mold spores are present in most homes and can potentially lead to new mold growth if they land on a wet or damp surface. To prevent mold from coming back, it is important to fix any water leaks and keep indoor humidity levels low. You can also use products that contain antimicrobial agents to help prevent mold growth.

There is no one answer to this question as there are a variety of products that can kill mold. However, some products that are known to be effective against mold include bleach, vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide. When using any of these products, it is important to follow the instructions on the label and take precautions to avoid coming into contact with the mold or inhaling its spores. Additionally, it is important to remember that mold can often return after being killed, so it is important to take steps to prevent its growth in the future. Some of these steps might include fixing leaks, improving ventilation, and cleaning regularly.

Mold should be professionally removed if it is growing in an area larger than 10 square feet. If you have mold growing in your home, it is important to take action to remove it as soon as possible. Mold can cause a number of health problems, including respiratory illness, headaches and dizziness. In some cases, mold exposure can even lead to death. Therefore, it is crucial to get rid of mold growth in your home as soon as you see it. If you have a small mold problem, you may be able to clean it up yourself with bleach and water. However, for larger problems, it is best to call in a professional mold removal company. These companies have the experience and equipment necessary to safely and effectively remove mold from your home or business.
