Mold grows in dark, damp areas of homes. Sometimes toxic, it can cause flu-like symptoms and other health issues. Mold removal requires experience and attention to detail. Professionals will ensure it’s completely removed and that your family’s health doesn’t suffer in the process.

Understanding the Mold Removal Process

Discovery & Containment

Mold removal professionals will check all the likely places in your home. These include kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and inside walls—anywhere that’s dark, warm, and poorly ventilated. If you’ve experienced a flood, mold could also have developed below flooring.

Once the mold is discovered, remediation professionals will contain the area and set up the area to be negatively pressurized to ensure that no cross contamination occurs.. This will prevent airborne spores from permeating into non-affected areas and causing a bigger issue.

Removal

Mold remediation professionals will dress in hazmat suits that include respirators and other protective gear. This is important as they are not only protecting themselves but also the home or building they are working in as they will remove their protective gear before leaving the contained area.

Prevention

Just because an area has been remediated does not meat that mold will not grow in that same area in the future. During the mold inspection, professionals will determine what the moisture source is that caused the mold to grow and make recommendations to fix that problem so that it will insure that mold will not recur.
