Having a mold problem can cause a lot of stress, but the good news is that it can be fully treated, especially when caught quickly. This process involves several critical steps to ensure the growing colonies and the undeveloped spores are eliminated.

A professional team will work methodically to get rid of mold, using steps such as: 

• Inspection – The first step of mold remediation is scheduling a full inspection. With cutting-edge technology, professionals can locate where mold is growing, even if it’s just starting to develop.
• Containment – Once the locations of mold have been identified, it is critical to halt mold from spreading. To avoid cross-contamination, HVAC units should be turned off and vents closed while experts work on removing the mold.
• Filtration – It is not good enough to just get rid of the mold on different surfaces on the property. Mold spores are constantly floating in the air, and if they are left there, they will simply start the cycle anew when they land. Powerful air scrubbers and special filters and vacuums can capture these spores. 
• Mold treatment – Even if there is no obvious sign of mold, there are likely several colonies heavily infesting the surfaces of a room. Carpet, furniture, drywall, insulation, and décor all must be treated with thorough antibacterial solutions to make them safe again.

The Difference Between Mold Removal and Remediation

Mold removal is the physical process of eliminating visible mold growth. In contrast, mold remediation involves identifying and addressing the source of mold growth to prevent future growth. Remediation may include structural repairs, improving ventilation, or installing moisture barriers to create a safe and healthy environment.

When to Schedule Mold Remediation

Spotting any obvious signs of mold of course indicates that it is time to seek professional support. However, just because there is no visual gray or black fuzz growing on surfaces does not mean mold is absent. Colonies can spread so quickly that waiting to call a technician may just allow more spores to spread. Any type of water leak or flood that leaves standing water is liable to growing mold. 

Some of the signs that mold may be present include:

• Unpleasant musty odors
• Small, dark spots on clothing or walls
• Increased allergies and congestion flareups
• Warping in the walls, ceilings, floors, or drywall
