What are some signs that I might have a mold problem?
Be wary of unexpected allergy symptoms, such as itchy eyes or a runny nose, that seem to improve when you leave your home. You may also have mold if you notice unusual musty odors, see discolored spots on walls or ceilings, or uncover water damage within your home.
Why should I pay for professional mold testing?
Although visible mold is obvious, professional mold testing is the only way to determine how severe the issue has become. Our advanced technology can assess if there’s hidden mold and where the moisture intrusion may be coming from. Mold testing is also essential for real estate sales, insurance claims, and a variety of other situations.
Why can’t I just use a DIY mold testing kit?
Some home test kits can be unreliable since they don’t provide a control sample. This can give you false positives, which can lead to unnecessary stress and further remediation efforts. Our professional service will give you the quick, accurate details you need.
What happens during a typical mold inspection?
We will thoroughly examine your property, use our moisture detecting equipment to find any hidden water leaks, take samples of the air or any mold we find, and send the samples to an independent lab for further analysis. Within 3 days, we will send you a full report of our findings and give you our recommendations.
How can you verify that mold is gone?
Many mold remediation and restoration companies rely on us to provide post-treatment inspections to ensure the issue is completely resolved. We will thoroughly test your home’s air quality and perform a careful visual inspection to confirm that the mold problem has been resolved.
Can I treat mold with bleach?
Although bleach can kill mold on hard, non-porous surfaces, it can’t penetrate through materials like drywall or wood. If you attempt to “clean” mold from a porous surface, the spores will likely remain active deep within the material and continue to spread.
How can I prevent mold issues from recurring?
The best way to prevent mold growth is to control moisture and humidity levels. Keep your indoor humidity levels below 50%, promptly fix any plumbing leaks, and make sure your HVAC system is well-maintained to prevent future mold growth.
Why do I need to worry about mold in the first place?
Although some people believe that “black mold” is the only type of mold they need to worry about, all types of mold can trigger health issues and lead to property damage. No matter what type of mold you’re dealing with, it’s important to get it removed promptly to protect you, your family, and your home.
Can mold grow in my air ducts?
Yes, dust and condensation can build up within your air ducts and create the perfect environment for mold spores to thrive. This is why it’s crucial to schedule regular HVAC maintenance services.
What should I do if mold keeps reappearing?
Recurring mold problems typically point to ongoing moisture intrusion issues or high humidity levels. When we perform a mold inspection, we can help find where the leak is coming from and offer recommendations to solve the problem for good.
What should I do after a flood or a water leak?
Since mold can start growing within just 24 hours after moisture intrusion, it’s vital to act fast. Shut off your main water source and contact a water damage company immediately to salvage as much as possible.
Will my insurance policy cover mold remediation?
It depends on your provider, the cause of the mold, and your policy details. However, if mold occurred due to a sudden accident or natural disaster, it will usually be covered. When you contact us for a mold testing service, we can provide the documentation needed to support your insurance claim.
