What IS Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation is the process of removing mold and preventing it from regrowing. Mold won't disappear forever just because you remove it. Molds may return through spores in the air or through other means. To keep your space mold-free for years to come, the remediation process aims to deal with mold types that require more than bleach or a good scrub.

The actual mold remediation process will typically include:

Cleaning the air
Removal of mold
Containment of the area
Sanitizing the affected area
An assessment of the mold type

The mold remediation services we offer in Canton can treat more severe mold damage. Mold remediation employs traditional reconstruction techniques to return your property to its original condition, even if it is embedded in studs or flooring. Among these steps are sanding down wood, cutting away drywall, and more.

The service we perform will depend on the severity of the mold growth, the damage to your property, and the size of the affected area. To ensure you're selecting the right space for your business, our Canton team will present all your options to you.

How to Spot Mold

Because mold thrives in dark, secluded areas, it is not only dangerous because of its toxic effects, but also because it goes undetected for long periods of time. You can stop mold growth before it becomes a bigger problem if you understand some of the common signs of mold growth.

Mold growth in your property can be detected by the following indicators:

Foul Odor – Not all molds emit an odor, but many do. A musty smell in your home may be an indication of mold growth and should be addressed immediately by a professional.
Visible Signs – Some molds appear white and thread-like, while others appear as small black spots. Mold can also be brown, black, gray, or green. It might be orange, pink, or purple if it grows behind wallpaper.
Health Symptoms – Chronic coughing, sneezing, congestion, or other cold-related symptoms may indicate mold growth in your home.
Water Damage – Floods, plumbing leaks, or anything similar can cause water damage, even if it occurred recently or a while ago.

We begin by inspecting your Canton property for mold before developing the best plan of action for recovery and restoration. You can rest assured that with every service we provide, you'll be in good hands.

What Different Types of Mold Can Grow In Your House?

Molds are usually identified by their color. Mold can come in many shades, but the types most commonly found in houses are:

Black Mold - Black mold is the most common mold in homes. Food and HVAC systems are common places where it grows, and people living in the house may suffer serious allergic reactions.
Green Mold - Green mold is the same type of mold as black mold, but it is colored differently. Most of the characteristics are the same, except for the color.
Orange or Red Mold - This type of mold is rarely found inside homes, but can be found outdoors. This type of mold is harmless, but it should be removed to improve the appearance of your home.
White Mold - White mold is usually fresh and is still developing into a more harmful substance. Most of the time, this type of mold can be treated more easily.

How Does Black Mold Form?

With its reputation for toxic effects, black is the color homeowners most fear. Black molds are also the most common type of mold found in residences, as we mentioned earlier. You can reduce its presence and stay healthy by understanding its origins and causes.

The following conditions are typically conducive to black mold growth:

High humidity - This mold likes very damp areas, such as areas after flooding, burst pipes, and poorly ventilated bathrooms, more than other types of mold.
Organic material - Black mold prefers paper, but it also grows well on drywall, cardboard, particleboard, wood, and straw.

A variety of other conditions must be met in order for growth to take place, but not in order for survival. It is difficult to kill mold simply by starving it of oxygen or light, because it can lay dormant until the right conditions emerge. Since mold spores are always present in the air, it's important to eliminate the conditions that encourage its growth.

What is the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?

Mold removal is the process of physically removing the mold from a surface, such as scrubbing, scraping, or using chemical agents. Mold remediation is a more comprehensive approach, as it is the process of eliminating the source of the mold, as well as preventing it from returning.

Mold removal is a necessary part of the process, but it’s not enough to keep mold from returning. Through mold remediation, fixing water leaks or other sources of moisture, for example, will eliminate the source of mold. Without identifying and addressing the source, mold can continue to grow and spread.
