What is Mold Remediation?

When mold spores are present in large quantities, they can be a health hazard. Growth is fostered by moisture, such as after a flood or a major leak, and may also produce a certain odor. If there are mold problems in a house only during certain times of the year, then it is probably too air tight or too drafty. Mold growth in an indoor environment is typically related to an indoor water or moisture problem such as leaky roofs, building maintenance problems, or indoor plumbing problems. Another common cause is flooding as well.

When trying to solve a mold problem the first step is to stop the source of the moisture and remove the mold growth. Some common solutions for small issues include sunlight, ventilation and household cleansers. Significant mold growth may require professional mold remediation and removal of affected building materials; this is where we come in.
