What Is Mold & Mold Remediation?

Molds are part of a group of micro-organisms called fungi that also includes mushrooms and yeasts. Molds are familiar to most people as food spoilers on items such as bread or fruit. Molds are nature’s decomposers in the food chain.

Mold requires the following conditions to grow:

Mold spores (which are always present indoors and outdoors)
The right temperature range, from 2°C to 40°C
A food supply, which means anything organic such as books, carpets, clothing, wood, drywall, etc.
A source of moisture

The last condition, moisture, is the only practical factor to control in most houses. If allowed to grow inside your house, mold can be a problem because:

It can damage your possessions
It can cause health problems

ServiceMaster Advanced Cleaning & Restoration for Mold Remediation and Removal Process

Hire ServiceMaster Advanced Cleaning & Restoration to clean up the water and make repairs as needed to your house. A thorough and fast cleanup will help avoid mold growth. If you wait too long and mold growth starts, cleanup costs will increase significantly.

Our mold remediation process:

The moisture source is stopped
Wet items that can’t be salvaged are removed
What can’t be removed is dried quickly
Ideally, drying is done within 48 hours (to minimize mold growth)
No refinishing is done until the area is thoroughly dried

If you already have extensive mold because, for example, you’ve had water damage while you’ve been away for two weeks, or there was a long delay between the water damage and our arrival, then we will have to discuss the following points:

Drying the damaged area
Removing the mold safely

To protect our staff and you and your family from exposure to mold, ServiceMaster Advanced Cleaning & Restoration follows certain procedures. Here are some things we do:

The affected area will be sealed off from the rest of your house.
The workers will be wearing protective gear.
There will need to be an exhaust fan removing air from the affected area to the outdoors.
No chemical disinfectants, such as bleach, should be used during clean-up, only fragrance-free detergent.
If transported through your house, moldy materials will be sealed in plastic.

Inspecting for mold, we will inspect:

All areas adjacent to the mold growth
Behind wallpaper
In areas where water may have seeped, such as wall cavities, basement subfloors, crawl spaces, etc.
Under wall-to-wall carpeting

If you have a mold issue, make certain that you hire a certified mold remediation professional. Ask to see their certifications. Ask to see their insurance. Mold can be a serious health hazard, and you shouldn't take a chance with anyone that says it can simply be torn out! The airborne spores left from the removal of affected drywall and contents, are typically the very thing that will cause health problems. If every square inch isn't properly cleaned and the air filtered, the resulting spores can be enough to cause serious health issues. We will not take a chance with your health. We only know one way to do the job - the right way. This involves total elimination and removal of all visible and airborne mold spores.
