Mold Removal and Remediation

Mold: The Basics

Mold is impossible to completely remove on your own. However, it can be removed from your property with the right tools, equipment, knowledge, and training to tackle the infestation correctly.

Mold can be caused by numerous factors. Water damage is the most significant factor that contributes to mold growth. Water damage might include leaking roofs, burst pipes, sewage backups, water overflow, flooding, basement seepage, and excessive rainwater that causes ground levels to rise dramatically.

Other potential causes of mold growths on your property include poor ventilation and HVAC systems. A dirty HVAC system can encourage mold spores to develop, circulate throughout your property, and eventually develop in multiple regions of your home. Regular air duct cleanings and inspections can help detect possible early warning signs of mold deposits.

Mold loves hot and humid conditions, as well as dark and damp regions of the home. Therefore, increased rainfall, high levels of humidity, and heavy rain in a short period can all encourage mold growth. The summer months commonly cause mold to develop more rapidly since humidity levels are higher. Older homes with poor HVAC systems that lack air circulation in attics and basements can all be at higher risk for mold development.

Mold can grow on any surface of your home, including walls and flooring, ceilings and personal belongings, furniture and drapes, etc. Most mold damage occurs at ground level through flooring and subflooring, where humidity and moisture can quickly become trapped. Basements commonly contribute to mold growth and circulation with poor ventilation, high humidity levels, and damp conditions. Finally, even your home’s insulation could be harboring dangerous mold spores. Given the right conditions, these spores can invade your house quickly.

The Right Conditions for Mold

Mold is picky, and it needs the right conditions to grow. First of all, mold is sneaky because it can enter your home in a variety of ways but go undetected until the problem has escalated. Mold can cling to clothing and hair, be swept in by the wind through open windows and doors, and even hitch a ride on pets.

Once mold has entered your home, all it needs is a dark, humid environment to begin spreading. You might suspect mold has grown in your home if you notice persistent mildew smells, visible mold deposits, or peeling or buckling of flooring, wall surfaces, and other house regions.

Our Mold Removal and Remediation Process

At Redeeming Restoration, we have streamlined our mold removal and remediation process. With our quick but detailed multi-step procedure, we can evaluate mold growths in your home and remove them quickly.

Step 1: Initial Inspection and Assessment

First, we will begin with a detailed mold inspection of your entire property. Even if you suspect only one area of your home is affected, we know that mold can spread fast and might be hidden in other areas. Our trained professionals will document mold growths, take samples for the lab, and take pictures of affected regions as part of our inspection. Then we will create a plan of action to remove and remediate mold growth in your home.

Step 2: Mold Containment

After we have our plan of action, we will begin executing your mold removal and remediation. First, we’ll contain the mold to prevent further spreading of the spores. We used advanced containment methods, such as negative air chambers, to isolate contained regions. Redeeming Restoration will also put up physical barriers to make cleanup easier and prevent spread.

Step 3: Air Filtration

Then we will bring in specialist air filtration equipment to capture floating microscopic mold spores in the air. This helps prevent future mold growths from occurring. Air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums are specialized equipment we rely on for the most accurate air filtration protocols.

Step 4: Removing Mold and Infected Materials

Next, we will physically remove mold deposits and any personal materials that have become infested. We use antimicrobial treatment and fogging to eliminate mold colonies in your home. Drywall, carpeting, furniture, and other household belongings might also need to be removed if affected.

Step 5: Cleaning And Sanitation

After we have completed these steps, we begin cleaning and sanitizing your personal belongings, such as curtains, furniture, and household objects that were not infested with mold. This will ensure no pesky mold spores remain in your home to cause potential future growths or health risks.

Step 6: Restoration and Final Inspection

In some cases, restoration will be required, including minor repairs to drywall, paint, and carpeting. In other instances, more intensive reconstruction might be needed. Regardless, we never leave your property until we are sure you are 100% satisfied with your service. Our comprehensive final inspection ensures you have received the highest degree of service possible.
