Mold Remediation Services in Idaho Falls
Comprehensive Mold testing, removal, and more
The horror of finding mold in the home is something no one wants to experience. You are probably wondering how a mold infestation starts in the home in the first place. Mold spores expand rapidly in damp, moist conditions. If you have excess moisture in a room like the bathroom or kitchen, this can provide the right conditions for mold growth. Leaky pipes, flooding, and lack of good airflow/ventilation are all other potential causes.
Removing mold with common, all-purpose cleaners will not eliminate the mold. In some cases, these products may encourage the mold to spread. It's best to hire mold removal professionals who will get the job done right. ServiceMaster Fire and Water Restoration by Houts will analyze what kind of mold is present and target it with the most effective treatment to ensure that mold is properly removed.

Recognizing When Mold Remediation is Necessary
Mold - it's a homeowner's worst nightmare. Not only is it unsightly, but it can also pose serious health risks if left untreated. So when exactly is mold remediation required?
Here are key signs that indicate it's time to call in the professionals:
You've Noticed Visible Mold Growth: This is the most obvious sign. If you're seeing mold spots on your walls, ceilings, or floors, it's time for remediation.
There's a Persistent Musty Smell: Mold has a distinct odor. If you're constantly noticing a musty smell in certain areas of your home, you may have a mold problem.
You're Experiencing Allergic Symptoms: Mold can trigger allergies. If you or your loved ones are experiencing unexplained sneezing, coughing, or itchy eyes, it could be due to mold.
Your Home Has Recently Suffered Water Damage: Mold thrives in damp conditions. If your home has recently been flooded or suffered from a leak, mold could be lurking.
You've had Mold Problems Before: If you've had mold issues in the past, there's a chance it could return, especially if the initial remediation wasn't thorough.
If you are experiencing any of these signs act now! Don't let mold take over your home and your health. Get in touch with our professional mold remediation team and reclaim your safe, clean living environment.
Our Step-by-Step Mold Remediation Process
- 1. Inspect and Evaluate the Damage
Our Idaho Falls mold remediation technicians use high-tech moisture meters to examine ceilings, walls, flooring, and all other areas potentially affected by mold to determine the levels of moisture.
- 2. Extract and Dry
We use the most recent water extraction and dehumidification equipment to thoroughly extract all moisture and water from carpets, walls, floors, cabinets, upholstery, fabrics, and any other areas needed.
- 3. Seal All Contaminated Areas
We seal off the affected area to ensure that mold will not spread by releasing spores into unaffected areas or rooms in the property.
- 4. Remove Affected Materials
If necessary, we will remove drywall and any other affected building materials that are too damaged to repair.
- 5. Remove All Spores
We use high efficiency HEPA vacuums to wipe down all surfaces, eliminating any remaining mold particles or spores.
Preventing Mold Growth After Water Damage
The best method to control mold is to prevent it from growing in the first place. If you have experienced water damage, attempt to dry the materials as soon as possible and keep air moving throughout the affected area. If the area is dried in less than 24 hours, there is a good chance that mold will not develop.

Your Mold Remediation Questions Answered
How long does mold remediation take?
The duration of mold remediation can vary significantly based on the severity and scope of the mold infestation. Traditional methods usually take around seven days, though this timeframe can extend if the mold problem is particularly severe. Mold spores can start to form in just one to two days under the right conditions, and if not addressed promptly, they can spread rapidly.
On average, mold removal can take about 2 to 3 days, but for homes or offices with an extreme mold outbreak, the process may extend up to five to six days. In some cases, it could even take several weeks.
Despite the time it might take, prompt and thorough mold remediation is critical to maintaining the health and safety of your living or workspace. If you suspect a mold problem, don't delay.
