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.

What Are Mold Inspections Meant to Find?

You can obtain mold inspections to assess damages after water damage or fire damage. These situations encourage the experience and expertise of responding Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT) to identify possible colonization and where hosting materials might exist. This assessment can also determine the cause of moisture damage that permitted mold growth and begin deciding what repairs and reconstruction may be necessary to overcome these conditions. 

How Does Mold Remediation Work? 

Mold remediation involves several strategies to prevent the further spread of microbial threats. Organic matter is a food source to active colonies, which can deteriorate hosting structural elements and contents. Evaluating the condition of building materials and personal belongings can identify which remediation practice suits the situation best, including: 

  • Sanding
  • Soda Blasting
  • Surface Wiping
  • Controlled Demolition

These removal options are for:

  • Attic mold
  • Black mold
  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Basement mold remediation
  • Mold remediation
  • Mold specialists

Do I Need Basement Mold Remediation?

The basement can often be a common area for the development of mold threats. Moisture can penetrate foundation walls from groundwater concerns, leading to a perpetually damp environment there facilitates mold growth. Organic matter like wood framing in the basement can become hosts for colonies. 

Are Mold Damage Repairs Always Needed After Black Mold?

With a contracting license, we can offer controlled demolition and repairs common to homes after mold threats. While not always needed, completing these actions in house saves time and money for customers.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these 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.
