Mold growth can be a nightmare for many property owners. In addition to creating unsightly spots and producing unpleasant odors, their spores may aggravate your allergies and cause serious illnesses. When these harmful microbes invade your property, you’ll likely need professional mold removal or remediation. The guide below explains what separates these two services. 

Mold Removal

Though many restoration companies offer mold removal services, it isn’t technically possible to remove buildups entirely. Since mold occurs naturally throughout your home, it’s more realistic to control excessive growth by focusing on problematic areas such as bathrooms, basements, beneath cabinets, and other damp and dark areas.

Mold Remediation

Mold remediation is the process by which trained professionals reduce the presence of buildups throughout your home. They target dangerous varieties, such as black mold, to prevent allergy flareups and upper respiratory illnesses from occurring as a result of breathing in the spores.

Your restoration company will begin by determining the cause of the mold growth and locating the areas of your property that have been affected. They’ll collect spore samples to determine whether the mold is active or dormant. If it’s active, they’ll seal off the affected areas, disinfect them, and treat them with biocide products to deter regrowth. Lastly, your contractor will insert high-efficiency filters into your HVAC system and use HEPA vacuums to reduce the presence of airborne spores. In the event that mold has penetrated deeply into the wooden structure, drywall, or building materials, your home restoration company will replace these elements.
