Did you know that mold can grow within 24-48 hours after spores are attached to an item and begin to settle in 1-12 days? Mold problems are most often caused by water damage such as floods, pipe leaks, leaky roofs, swollen floorboards, and other water-stained type areas.
When water damage occurs, or you suspect you might have mold in your home, it’s best to call us out to make an assessment and figure out the appropriate next step from containment to mold removal. With over 50 years of experience in the water damage and mold remediation industry, we know how to properly contain and remove your mold without causing it to spread or causing more damage.
Mold remediation begins with our water extraction process so we can safely eliminate the water and moisture problem. Taking care of the water issue will help prevent mold from reoccurring in the future. If we don’t fix the water damage, you take a chance of mold reoccurring. Once the water dry out and removal is handled, we’re able to test, contain and remove all mold-affected areas.
One of the most important reasons it’s imperative to reach out to a professional is that mold will generally only become more widespread the longer it is around, potentially increasing health dangers and the cost for removal. To properly remove mold, it MUST be contained and treated correctly in the area to ensure it doesn’t come back. Depending on the severity, we will either do a limited mold containment or full mold containment, and it depends on the size of the infestation.
If you have recently had water damage, leaky pipes, or suspect there might be mold in your home, please give us a call as soon as possible to make sure that you are living in a healthy and safe space. We’ll even work directly with your insurance company and adjuster to make this process as smooth of a process as possible.
