Signs of Mold in Your Property
Mold should never be ignored, as it can spread quickly and cause both property damage and health problems. Here are five signs to look out for to catch a mold issue early:
Musty Odor – A common sign of mold is a damp, musty smell that often lingers in areas affected by moisture. If you notice this odor, it’s time to call in a professional mold removal team for an inspection.
Blistering or Peeling Paint – Blistering paint can indicate trapped moisture underneath, which can be a breeding ground for mold. This is a good sign to investigate further.
Water Leaks – Past flooding or water leaks significantly increase the likelihood of mold growth. Check for discoloration or stains on walls and ceilings, which can indicate mold behind the surface. If you suspect mold, don’t hesitate to call our team to inspect your property.
Breathing Issues – Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or other respiratory issues may be a sign that mold spores are airborne and affecting your lungs. Mold can worsen breathing conditions and allergies, so it’s important to address it immediately.
Increased Allergies – If you or your family experience allergic reactions—such as sneezing, itchy eyes, or a runny nose—that improve when you leave the home, mold could
Common Myths About Mold Removal
Mold removal is always inexpensive – Mold remediation requires specialized equipment, trained professionals, and insurance. If a company offers very low prices, they may be cutting corners on necessary safety measures and equipment.
Mold removal gets rid of all mold – It's important to understand that complete mold removal isn't realistic. Instead, we focus on mold remediation, which eliminates the mold and addresses the underlying causes, such as moisture, to prevent future issues.
Mold won’t return after removal – While we can remove mold and mitigate the cause, no one can guarantee that mold won’t return. Proper ventilation and ongoing moisture control are key to preventing future mold growth.
Why Mold Should Be Addressed Promptly
Mold can quickly cause extensive damage to your property and health. It thrives in moisture-rich environments, and if left untreated, it can weaken structures, ruin belongings, and lead to significant health issues. If you notice any signs of mold, it’s essential to act fast to remove it before the problem worsens.
Our Mold Remediation Process
Mold removal is a detailed process that requires specialized knowledge and tools. The first step is eliminating the source of moisture, whether it's a leaking pipe, a flood, or excess humidity. Once the water issue is addressed, we proceed with the mold remediation process.
Our comprehensive mold remediation process includes:
Inspection and Moisture Mapping – We begin by identifying all areas affected by moisture and mold, mapping out the extent of the damage.
Water Extraction and Drying – If necessary, we remove any standing water and use industrial dryers and dehumidifiers to dry the affected areas completely.
Mold Removal – Using EPA-approved techniques, we carefully remove mold from affected surfaces, ensuring it doesn’t spread.
Encapsulation – After removing the mold, we apply a sealing solution to prevent any remaining spores from regrowing.
