Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

Some people think mold is extremely scary and dangerous, while others think mold is insignificant and does not pose a risk to building occupants. The internet tells you to use bleach to get rid of your mold problem, and other will paint over it to make it go away. While the mold disappears visually, those methods do not properly remediate the mold. On porous items, especially drywall, mold grows roots and cannot be wiped away. 

The truth about mold is that while not regulated, certain mold varieties can pose a substantial health risk to humans due their emitting VOCs. Mold must be tested in order to know what species it is, however all mold release spores and must be contained immediately. Areas of the home can become cross-contaminated if the source is not contained. We take all mold seriously and our team is always donned in proper PPE, ready to remediate any contamination per our industry standard - IICRC's S520.

Understanding Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
