Black mold in your home or business is never going to go away on it’s own if left unattended. It’s posing a real health hazard and can potentially keep getting worse. Some people are more susceptible than others to black mold exposure.

A small, unnoticed leak is all it takes to cause a major mold infestation in your home. Without professional help, containing and removing mold could be a major undertaking. All types of mold are a serious concern, not just black mold. No matter the type of mold or extent of the damage, our certified technicians will arrive on-site quickly and go through the following process:

Basement Mold Removal

A common area for moisture to accumulate in your home and often neglected, mold growth in your basement can go undetected for quite some time. Leaky Foundations, humidity and moisture from a sump pump or washer machine are typical sources. Your basement’s close proximity to ground water outside can lead to cracks in your foundation, allowing water and moisture to seep in. Your hot water heater and home’s heating system also create a warm environment that mold can flourish in.

This mold can get into your floor joists and wall studs causing significant structural damage and the airborne spores can reach into the rest of your home. We handle all types of mold remediation and offer a fast and free estimate.

Mold in Bathrooms

Lingering moisture in your bathroom is a perfect environment for mold to grow. The condensation on your wallpaper may look like moisture only on the surface but there could be a disaster growing beneath the visible surface. Between tiles and on the caulking around your shower are common spots for black mold to grow. The porous grout is another problem area.

You can run the exhaust fan in your bathroom after showering to remove steam and moisture, or open a window if you can. Leaking faucets and pipes can create even more moisture so it’s important to address these issues and keep good air circulation.

Mold in HVAC Air Ducts

As cold air flows through your ductwork, moisture can accumulate along the sides. If mold grows here, your HVAC system can spread spores throughout your home or building every time the system turns on.

A full cleaning of your air duct system will remove mold, mildew, dust and other allergens and can noticeably improve the quality of the air in your home of building before we even leave the property.

When mold is present in your home elsewhere, it is recommended by the EPA to have your air ducts cleaned to remove lingering spores.

Deodorization From Mold & Mildew

As part of the restoration process, we remove the odors caused by mold and water damage after the affected areas are repaired, leaving your home fresh and clean. We can also restore items in your home instead of having them replaced, thus lowering costs to the homeowner. We use advanced equipment and processes including air scrubbers, thermal fogging, ozone generators and hydroxyl generators.

Mold inspection at your commercial property

Inspection to determine the amount of mold that we are dealing with and what type of mold it is. We’ll get an assessment of the damage and what work needs to be done.

Containment of affected areas

We’ll immediately begin remediation in your commercial location to get your business back up and running with as minimal downtime as possible.

Common Reasons For Mold Growth

Small leaks that go unnoticed over a long period of time can cause a significant amount of damage. Some common sources of water leaks include:

  • Faulty appliances such as a leaking hot water heater.
  • Failed water inlet valve at the back of your refrigerator.
  • Leaks coming through your ceiling.
  • Moisture from showers without the vent fan running.
  • Moisture from indoor pools or hot tubs.
  • Condensation from air conditioners.
  • Storm flooding.
  • Leaks in windows.
  • Leaking pipes and drains.

Risks of Black Mold in Your Home

When mold grows, mold spores multiply and these airborne particles spread throughout your home. The sooner you catch this problem, the better. Mold is growing out areas where it is feeding on the material that you see it on. This can compromise the structural integrity of your home. Sometimes it’s in hidden places where you may not think to look such as behind and under cabinets, behind your refrigerator or dishwasher or in an attic or crawl space.

Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) can present a serious health risk. It can cause asthma, allergic reactions, breathing issues and irritation, chronic coughing, fatigue, rashes and headaches, even mental health issues and fungal poisoning. Although black mold is the most well known for causing harm, the truth is any color mold can cause problems.

Some people are more sensitive to mold exposure than others. If you’re unsure, contact us for a free estimate and we’ll be happy to assess the situation.

Mold in drywall and in the wall

When is Mold Remediation Necessary?

  • When water damage is present. Molds can grow in these areas if they are not immediately dried out before the damage occurs. If you see dark spots present, there is likely mold that needs to be removed.
  • Mold in porous surfaces. Visible surface mold on flat surfaces such as countertops can be cleaned, but porous surfaces such as wood, drywall, wallpaper, fiberglass insulation etc. may have mold embedded in it below the surface and may require more advanced cleaning and/or removal.
  • Mold cleanup can be hazardous. The mycotoxins from mold can be carcinogenic and very toxic to expose your lungs to. When material containing mold gets agitated, mold spores are released into the air in your home. We have special equipment to protect ourselves and your family and pets from being exposed to these toxins during and after the removal process.
  • When you don’t know the extent of the problem, what you can visibly see may just be the tip of the iceberg. You may try to eliminate mold yourself on the surface of your floor but not see the damage that’s occurring below your subfloor.
