You Have Questions & We Have Answers

PROVIDING YOU WITH ALL THE INFORMATION YOU’RE LOOKING FOR

  • When is mold remediation required?

    There is no law in Virginia regarding when mold should be removed from a home, however, if you discover mold in your home, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends acting quickly to get it cleaned up. This is especially important if your home has been affected by water damage. If your home has experienced flooding because of a natural disaster or a burst pipe, mold may begin to grow within the first 24 - 48 hours.

    Typically, if the mold growth covers an area less than 10 square feet (roughly a 3 ft. by 3 ft. area), then this may be a job that you can handle on your own. However, if water damage has affected more than 10 square feet, it is best to reach out to the Fredericksburg mold removal experts at ServiceMaster of Greater Washington. 

  • What is mold remediation? 

    Mold remediation is the process of cleaning away mold and taking steps to prevent new mold growth in the affected area.

  • What is involved with mold remediation?

    The mold remediation process here at ServiceMaster of Greater Washington involves cleaning away mold with EPA-registered products to clean surfaces around the house like the floors, countertops and walls. If the mold issue is deeper, we can cut away mold-damaged drywall and/or carpet completely and replace it if necessary.

  • How long does it take mold to grow?

    The answer depends on several factors including temperature, humidity levels, amount of organic material present, and how much water has been absorbed by the surface where mold is growing. 

    Temperature plays an important role in determining how quickly mold will form because most molds require temperatures between 77°F (25°C) and 86°F (30°C). Warmer temperatures like those found indoors during summer months or in basements with poor ventilation systems can be ideal conditions for rapid growth. However, if there are not enough nutrients available at these higher temperatures, the mold development rate will slow down significantly. Humidity also affects the speed at which mold grows; humidity levels above 70% provide perfect conditions for spores to germinate within 24-48 hours after they land on damp surfaces while lower relative humidity values below 50% could reduce spore germination rates drastically due to lack of moisture necessary for their survival. 

    Ultimately under optimal conditions most mold species take 3 days to 2 weeks to fully mature into a full blow infestation.
