What is Involved with Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation is the entire process of removing all mold and mold growth from your home. Remediation can include:

  • Testing for mold
  • Removal of mold
  • Disposal of certain materials
  • Sanitizing the affected areas
  • Recommendations to prevent mold regrowth

The goal of mold remediation is not just to remove mold. Simple mold removal skips many steps in the mold remediation process that can lead to mold regrowth in the future or leaves your home still affected in some way by the adverse effects of mold.

The mold remediation process begins with an inspection of your property. Once the mold type is determined our team will determine the best plan of action for its removal. Most mold removal plans include some kind of containment for the affect area. When disturbed, mold spores can move in the air and settle on a new surface, thus our Brunswick mold remediation team will isolate the contaminated areas. The mold and affected areas will then go through a methodical cleaning, sanitizing, and in certain circumstances material disposal process. Once your home is free from the dangers of mold, our team can make recommendations on how to prevent future mold growth.

What Does Mold Need in Order to Grow?

Is your home or office unintentionally creating an environment for potentially hazardous mold growth? Here are the four components mold must have to grow:

  • Warm Temperatures – Mold grows in temperatures above 60-degrees Fahrenheit – its ideal environment is between 77- and 86-degrees Fahrenheit, especially if the area is humid.
  • Moisture – Since mold needs water to grow, moisture is one of the most important components to be on the lookout for. This may come from pipe leaks, broken water heaters, roof leaks, and several other water emergencies that should not be ignored. Even the smallest undetected leak can create the ideal environment for mold.
  • Oxygen – Another key condition for the fungus to thrive in is a space with access to oxygen. Of course, we can’t remove the oxygen, but we can ensure that your home is properly sealed to block growth from hidden areas such as behind walls or nooks in your attic.
  • Food – Mold has an insatiable appetite, and can digest nearly any organic matter, such as wood, drywall, and many foods in your refrigerator. Are you noticing a spot of discoloration on the ceiling? That is a solid indication that mold has begun snacking on your ceiling drywall or wooden trusses.

Without all these conditions in place for mold, it won’t grow or spread, but the spores will remain in a dormant state. This means they’ll wait for the conditions that suit them before growing.

Why You Need Professional Mold Removal

Many homeowners are tempted to forego professional mold removal services in favor of DIY mold cleanup methods. While there are many home projects that are great for do-it-yourselfers, allow us to definitively say that mold remediation is not one of them. Trying to get rid of mold yourself without the right chemicals, tools, and experience is a recipe for disaster which can, at best, do nothing to solve the problem and, at worst, cause it to spread even more throughout your home. It simply is not worth the headache to gamble with this approach and it certainly isn't worth the risk to your health to get too close to potentially toxic mold growth. Leave it to the pros instead!

  • What is the difference between "mold removal" and "mold remediation"? 

    The terms "mold removal" and "mold remediation" are often used interchangeably, but they actually refer to two different processes: 

    - Mold removal is the process of physically removing mold from a surface or area. This typically involves using specialized equipment and techniques to remove visible mold growth, such as scrubbing, sanding, or blasting with dry ice. 

    - Mold remediation is the process of addressing the underlying cause of the mold growth and preventing it from recurring. This typically involves identifying and addressing the source of moisture that is allowing mold to grow, such as a leaky pipe or inadequate ventilation. 

    A professional mold remediation company will typically perform a thorough inspection to identify the source of the mold growth, develop a remediation plan, and take steps to prevent future mold growth. They may also use specialized equipment, such as air purifiers or dehumidifiers, to remove excess moisture from the air and prevent mold growth.
