Mold remediation is a process that begins with you as the homeowner. You either discover or suspect the presence of mold in your home, you call our experts, and our qualified licensed technicians begin the testing and remediation process. Because it’s a process that begins with you, it’s important that you understand why it is necessary. You as the homeowner should know what mold is, why it poses a problem for your home, and how to be on the lookout for it. With that information in hand, you will know why it is important to call us at the first sign that there may be a problem.
The Problem with Mold
The main problem with mold is that it is a living fungus that can cause serious health problems. Mold grows of its own accord, and if you do not know that it is there, it can continue to grow silently for even years. Mold produces poisonous toxins that can negatively affect your health. Some people experience minor symptoms that mimic a common cold or flu while others experience major health concerns that can ultimately lead to death or permanent health issues. The type and presence of mold is a huge factor in determining how it will affect your health, and these can only be determined through professional testing. However, any amount of mold poses a threat to your health and to the safety of your home. Without thorough cleansing and possible removal of the affected household items, your home and health could be seriously compromised. That is why it is important that you keep an eye out for mold. Be aware of unusual health symptoms and smells in your home. Inspect your home carefully on a regular basis for any sign of mold, especially after a storm or flooding. Most importantly, call us at the first indication that you may have a mold problem.
Our Mold Remediation Process
Our mold remediation process includes testing, containment, removal, disposal, and restoration. First, our technicians identify the source or cause of the mold and carry out a plan to remediate it, whether it is a water leak, humidity issue, or other cause. We also test to identify the presence, concentration, and exact location of all the mold that may be in your home. Once the moisture source has been removed and the mold has been contained, we remove it with commercial detergents. In some cases, we must remove contaminated household materials. Throughout the whole process, we use protective clothing and professional equipment such as moisture meters, humidity gauges, and more to ensure that the mold remediation is complete and thorough.
