Our qualified licensed contractors provides a full range of mold removal, mold testing, inspection, remediation and water damage services. Our goal is to protect you and your home from the dangers posed by the presence of mold in your home. Below is some valuable information about mold, how to be on the lookout for mold, and how we can help you with mold removal.
Understanding Mold
Mold is a fungus that typically grows in damp areas. This fungus can grow nearly anywhere but often prefers damp, dark areas that are left undisturbed. If you are surprised that mold could grow in your home, remember how quickly mold can appear on leftover food in your refrigerator. If mold can grow there, it can grow behind your walls, under the cupboards, or anywhere else. Mold (especially toxic black mold) produces toxins that can cause health problems when they are inhaled, ingested, or touched. These toxins often cause symptoms such as respiratory and immune system problems and can progress to more serious complications including neurological issues, digestive issues, reproductive system issues, and in the worst cases, death. Mold is not something to be taken lightly or ignored.
How to Be On the Lookout for Mold
Mold can be identified most often by its smell or by the presence of unusual health symptoms such as those mentioned above. If you experience adverse health conditions and suspect that they may be caused by mold in your home, vacate your home temporarily to see if your symptoms begin to abate, and call us right away for an inspection. Also, inspect your home regularly, especially the attic, basement, laundry room, bathroom, and any areas that receive little light and are vulnerable to moisture buildup. Call us at the first sign or suspicion of mold.
Professional Mold Remediation
Once you have called our qualified licensed technicians begin the process of professional mold removal. This process begins with formal inspection and testing to identify the presence, location, concentration, and species of mold in your home. Our qualified licensed contractors then move on to removal and remediation, in which we contain the mold, eliminate the source of the moisture, remove the mold and contaminated materials, and restore your home to safer conditions. Finally, we retest the home to ensure that the remediation process is complete. The entire process depends on professional knowledge, experience, and equipment, all of which our technicians use to successfully accomplish the arduous task of mold removal.
