The Mold Removal Process

A professional mold removal process is detailed and thorough and includes:

To address excessive indoor mold growth, you must first identify the cause and source of the moisture. The moisture source must be properly addressed in order to guarantee a successful mold cleanup and to prevent mold from growing back. A professional mold removal company will get to the bottom of the source of the mold and where the moisture starts and ends. If the moisture issues does not get resolved, mold re-growth is inevitable.

Airborne mold spores can travel to, land on, and contaminate practically any surface. The mold removal process disrupts settled spores and forces them into the air. This is why, before starting the process, mold removal specialists will isolate the contaminated areas with containment barriers. This will prevent cross-contamination to clean areas of the home that are not affected. Mold is a bio contaminant, which is why homeowners are advised to not handle mold contamination by themselves. Our trained team of mold removal specialists will ensure strict safety protocols are followed, including wearing proper personal protective equipment, covering and protecting clean areas of your home, and maintaining safe indoor air quality.

In most cases, our professional team will effectively remove mold from the surfaces of your home by following proper mold remediation protocol. But, depending on the type of material and the severity of the contamination, some building materials in your home may be deemed non-salvageable and will have to be removed and safely disposed of. Our mold removal experts are trained in the most advanced cleaning and demolition techniques in order to guarantee safe and effective mold removal, cleanup, and disposal.

What’s the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?

Mold removal and mold remediation are often used interchangeably in the mold removal industry. This is because most homeowners recognize the term “removal” more than they would recognize “remediation.” Technically speaking, mold removal is simply one step in the multi-step mold remediation process.

Mold remediation is defined as removing, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition, and/or any other treatment, including preventative, mold, or mold-contaminated matter that was not grown at that location purposely.

Hiring a Mold Removal Specialist

As we’ve established, mold is no joke and can be detrimental to your family’s health. This is why, as soon as you spot or suspect mold, you should call in the professionals. The only way to ensure proper mold removal is to have a professional, customized inspection and cleanup.

Mold removal is not a DIY job— it requires professional chemicals, equipment, and training. If you treat mold with chemicals you have around the house, you risk causing the mold to spread further and causing even more expensive issues, especially if you are dealing with black mold. What’s more, most chemicals, including bleach, have actually been proven ineffective against eliminating mold long-term.
