Warning Signs of Mold

Unfortunately, mold likes to grow in damp, dark places and can easily go unnoticed. It's important to be on the lookout for warning signs and address them immediately before an infestation takes place.

  • Musty Odors
  • Worsening Allergy Symptoms While Indoors
  • Persistent Cough, Cold, or Fatigue
  • Humidity or Moisture Issues
  • Stains on Walls or Ceilings
  • Peeling Paint and Wallpaper
  • Lethargic Pet Behavior

If you notice any of the above signs, it's time to schedule a mold inspection from a licensed mold remediation expert.

When is Mold Remediation Required?

Mold spreads rapidly in the presence of moisture, so it is common for mold problems to arise after a flood, plumbing leak, storm, or even after firefighting efforts. Sometimes, it’s easy to tell that you have a mold problem because you can see visible patches of fuzzy green or black mold growing. Other times the problem may be less visible, but an unpleasant musty odor may alert you to its presence in your walls. Either way, it’s important to call a mold remediation professional as soon as possible if you see or suspect the presence of mold.

Delaying a mold inspection is never a good idea. Mold can be toxic, and breathing in mold spores is associated with all kinds of physical symptoms like headaches, respiratory problems, and allergy symptoms. Mold isn’t a problem that will ever get better on its own, so be sure to treat it with urgency and bring in a Yakima WA mold remediation team at your earliest convenience.

frequently asked questions

PROVIDING YOU WITH ALL THE INFORMATION YOU’RE LOOKING FOR

  • How Long Does Mold Remediation Take?

    The length of time that a mold remediation project will take largely depends on the severity and scope of the problem. There are many considerations to take into account, including where the mold is growing (in a visible area? behind a wall?), what material the mold is growing on (wood? drywall?), and how much mold needs to be cleaned up. Small projects in isolated areas may take only one or two days, whereas more difficult cases with large areas of mold may potentially take up to a week. Our Yakima mold remediation team can provide you with a personalized quote and timeframe for your unique situation when you call us.

  • What Kills Black Mold on Walls?

    If you see black mold growing in your home, you likely want to act with some urgency. Black mold prefers organic feeding areas like wood and paper, making your walls a vulnerable spot. Many turn to DIY methods to get rid of this problem. Some Internet sources recommend bleach, others vinegar. Following these tips does seem to clear up the mold quickly. 

    However, these are just Band-Aid solutions, and the mold usually ends up growing right back. This is because if mold’s favored conditions aren’t dealt with, it’s nearly impossible to eradicate. Mold spores are unavoidable, so your home needs to be unwelcome to them.

    Black mold favors very wet conditions, so when you have black mold, the surfaces with the growth are probably saturated with water. If you aren’t aware of any recent flooding event, you could have a leak. It’s important to get to the source of the leak, stop it, and then begin drying everything to eradicate the mold.

  • How Much Does Mold Remediation Cost?

    Mold remediation costs can vary greatly depending on the size of the area affected, the type of mold present, and other factors. Generally speaking, small areas with light contamination will cost less than larger areas or those with more severe infestations. The average cost for basic mold removal ranges from $500 to $4,000; however, it is possible for this number to be much higher in certain cases.

    The first step in determining how much a mold remediation project will cost is an inspection by a professional mold remediation contractor. They can assess the severity of any existing problem and provide an estimate based on their findings as well as their experience with similar situations. In most cases, they may even offer suggestions about ways to reduce costs if possible such as removing materials that are heavily contaminated instead of trying to clean them or replacing drywall rather than attempting repairs due to extensive damage. 
     Overall it's important to remember that while these projects do come at considerable expenses, it's always better to address issues sooner rather than later. Leaving mold untreated not only increases health risks but also makes restoration more difficult & expensive in long term.
