Protect Your Home & Health From Mold

There is no denying that mold is unattractive. Unfortunately, that’s only the start of the problem. In addition to being harmful to your home, it can also pose a risk to your health and your family. It’s important to call our professional mold inspection and removal team at the first sign of a problem to avoid serious damage to your home and health.

Mold infestation can lead to:

  • Structural damage to foundations, HVAC systems, drywall, roofing, gutters, furnishings, and other areas
  • Health problems that include headaches, skin irritation, allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, aggravation of asthma symptoms, and more

Can Living in a Home with a Mold Infestation Make You Sick?

Breathing in mold spores can worsen asthma, cause fatigue, and even irritate your lungs and mucous membranes. Individuals with allergies or compromised immune systems should be wary of mold infestations. Black mold can produce symptoms similar to illness like coughing, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and skin rashes.

What Is Mold & Where Does it Come From?

Mold is a fungus that can be found in damp or wet areas, and is comprised of many different species. Mold spores, which help mold species spread and reproduce, can be carried by water or air to new locations. It thrives in wet environments caused by high humidity, slow leaks, floods, or broken pipes. Without moisture, mold cannot survive.

Warning Signs of Mold In Your House

Not sure if you have mold in your home? Some things you should be on the lookout for:

  • Dark spots on your floors, walls, or ceilings
  • Musty odors of mildew
  • Respiratory and allergy issues
  • High humidity levels resulting in condensation on glass or metal surfaces
  • Smells or discoloration in areas that have suffered water damage

Should mold be professionally removed?

Yes, mold should be professionally removed by the qualified restoration and remediation experts at ServiceMaster Restore. Professional mold removal can help reduce the risk of further growth and spread, as well as remove any existing mold that could cause health risks.

How do you prepare for a mold inspection?

At ServiceMaster Restore, we understand how important it is to properly prepare for a mold inspection. Before the inspector arrives onsite, there are several steps you can take to ensure the best results:

  1. Create an optimal environment: Clear any potential obstructions so that the Inspector has clear access to all areas of your home or business for visual inspection.
  2. Remove any mold indicators: If you have seen signs of potential mold growth, like a musty odor or visible dark spots on walls and floors, take the time to remove them before the inspector arrives.
  3. Air out your home: Open windows and doors if possible in order to let some fresh air flow through the area and ensure that the Inspector can get a clearer read on the mold levels.
  4. Make a list of questions: Before, during and after your inspection, feel free to make notes about any inquiries you may have for the inspector.

Mold Removal and Mitigation Solutions

It is important to be aware that mold is an inevitable part of nature and it can enter your home in various ways. If these microscopic spores gain access to moisture, they are able to thrive and quickly form a serious problem. Strong, musty odor is usually the first sign that action needs to be taken. In order for successful mold remediation to take place the water source of the mold has to be identified and fixed; otherwise, mold could come back. To prevent further development of mold indoors, try maintaining a relative humidity between 30% - 50%.

Mold infested wall

 

Remediation Process services can also be provided by GREEN CARPET CLEANING& ALLERGY KENYA ; a customized, pre-written mold remediation procedure along with an estimate for this service will be provided with your report if contamination is reported . We use a 5-step protocol for all of our remediation services, and we are the only company in the industry to offer a 10 year warranty for the work, once completed in full.

 

Step 1: Scheduling Your Work

Once your consultation is complete, and you are ready to schedule the work, simply send in a copy of your signed estimate and contact the office to arrange payment. We accept all forms of payment, except American Express, and have secure electronic options available to help expedite this process.   We will work with you, and your schedule, to get the work started as soon as possible. Most work can be completed within 2 business days (this timeline may vary depending on the actual work recommended).

 

Step 2: Starting Your Work – 5 Step Protocol

We employ a 5 Step Protocol for our remediation services, based off of EPA and CDC guidelines, as well as industry standards, and following OSHA guidelines for safety. The following outlines each step in our process:

  1. Pre-job Testing – On the scheduled start date of your remediation work, additional testing will be performed. This includes an inspection of non-prescribed work areas, and areas already outlined in the estimate. Prior to the start of remediation, samples (surface and/or air) will be taken in all non-work areas throughout the property, at no additional charge to the customer. These samples are sent to the lab for processing while your work is being completed. This pre-job testing is important because we must be sure we are completely eradicating mold from the home before a full clearance can be issued.
  1. Containment and Filtration – Each area of concern, as outlined in your estimate, will have a containment chamber set up with a decontamination chamber as needed for entrance into, and exit from, the contained areas. All workers will be outfitted in OSHA approved, full body Tyvek suits and face respirators with eye protection. Each area will have a minimum of one air scrubber/negative pressure air machine and one HEPA filter vacuum. All contained areas of concern will be air scrubbed for the duration of the project.
  1. Removal – All contaminated building materials will be bagged, sealed and discarded. All debris will be disposed of properly to meet all county and state laws.
  1. Cleaning – All exposed wood members and cavities will be sanded, scrubbed, wire brushed, and HEPA vacuumed as needed, and treated with a hospital grade biocide solution. All exposed inner-wall cavities and wood members will be coated with an anti-fungal encapsulant to prevent any future mold growth from occurring. All accessible hard surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings, ledges) in the work area will be decontaminated (HEPA vacuumed, biocide treatments, antifungal agent wipes, etc.).
  1. Clearance Testing – Once all remediation is complete, clearance samples will be collected and laboratory analysis performed to ensure no further contamination is present. A clearance certification and 10 year warranty will be issued once all areas pass clearance testing.

 

Step 3: 3 Months Warranty

Indoor-Restore Environmental Services offers a Three-month warranty on all mold remediation services we conduct at your property. This warranty assures that mold will not recur to areas remediated by our company, under normal living conditions. We provide this to all of our clients to ensure the peace of mind they deserve, and to guarantee that the efforts executed by our technicians are of the highest standards and quality.

It is the responsibility of the client to repair all water intrusions and leaks immediately, so that no elevated levels of moisture exist; this can include: water leaks, water intrusion, and elevated humidity due to proximity to the ocean, etc. Any moisture issues not addressed immediately can void the warranty. If any mold growth occurs in the work areas, and no new or ongoing moisture issues are present, then continued remediation will be completed at no additional charge to the client.

Any new drywall, drywall mud, drywall tape, insulation, primer, and paint that is installed must have anti-fungal agents incorporated in them. These products contain specific chemicals that will resist mold growth for extended periods.

Mold indoors is bad news.

Is mold remediation toxic? We hear this question often. But have you ever thought that it is not the mold removal process is dangerous, but the fungus and mold spores themselves?

The mold remediation process is not inherently dangerous and can save you from health problems in the future.

Mold damages

➤ Professional mold removal services in Nairobi ✓ Certified experts✓ Fast response & advanced equipment ➟ Protect your home & health today ❱❱ Call 0792-293-443!

When you see mold in your home or business, it can seem like a very little thing. Barely worth a second thought. However, mold is a big problem. It can cause a lot of damage, some of which may be rather surprising. Here are a few of the damages mold can cause:

Mold Affects Health

Mold spores are naturally in indoor air, but when it starts growing inside, the amount of mold spores in the air can increase exponentially. Why is this? Active mold growth is like a mold factory, making new spores that are released into the air when the mold is disturbed. Energy-efficient building practices, which make buildings easier to heat and cool, can restrict ventilation so the mold has nowhere to go.

This spells trouble for your health, especially if you have allergies or asthma. Mold has been proven to cause health effects in even non-sensitive individuals, so there is no safe mold problem. You don't want to live with mold. Since mold spreads so quickly, the amount of spores in the air you breathe will only increase over time. Even worse, complex mold projects run the real risk of containing a bigger variety of mold types, some of which may be toxic. Determining which type of mold is in your home is important because each kind of mold behaves differently.

Mold Destroys Property

In nature, mold feeds off of fallen leaves, branches, and other nutrient-rich organic materials. Mold is an important part of the decomposition that enriches the soil and breaks down dead vegetation.

Now think about what mold can do to your building. Mold can damage walls, floors and ceilings by weakening them, eating deep into the materials over time. Mold can also damage wooden support beams, especially when left to grow unchecked, in wet conditions, behind walls and in other hidden spaces. Whenever mold is growing in porous materials, whether upholstered furniture, building materials or carpeting, the materials may not be able to cleaned sufficiently and they may need to be disposed of and replaced instead.

What to do when you suspect, see, or smell mold

While it may be tempting to take up a cloth and wipe the mold away - stop. Mold that you see means it is growing spores - and touching them can release these spores into the air. According to the CDC, you need to treat mold right away.

Try to stay away from the area. Where mold is growing the density of mold spores in the air is higher, and could cause congestion or other problems, like headache and dizziness.

Turn off your HVAC because the last thing you want is to be pulling mold spores into your air circulation system.

Call a professional for mold remediation. The professional mold remediators at Green carpet cleaning use methods to remediate mold based on the prevailing industry standards. Our training and equipment will make sure that the problem is taken care of the right way.

Mold Cleanup in Your Home

Mold Cleanup

Who should do the cleanup depends on a number of factors. One consideration is the size of the mold problem. If the moldy area is less than about 10 square feet (less than roughly a 3 ft. by 3 ft. patch), in most cases, you can handle the job yourself, follow the Mold Cleanup Tips and Techniques. However:


Floods and Flooding

   

During flood cleanup, the indoor air quality in your home or office may appear to be the least of your problems. However, failure to remove contaminated materials and to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious long-term health risks. Standing water and wet materials are a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood.

To learn more about flood clean up and indoor air quality, visit: 

  • If you suspect that the heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) system may be contaminated with mold (it is part of an identified moisture problem, for instance, or there is mold near the intake to the system), before taking further action. Do not run the HVAC system if you know or suspect that it is contaminated with mold - it could spread mold throughout the building.
  • If the water and/or mold damage was caused by sewage or other contaminated water, then call in a professional who has experience cleaning and fixing buildings damaged by contaminated water.
  • If you have health concerns, consult a health professional before starting cleanup.
  • Tips and Techniques

     

    The tips and techniques presented in this section will help you clean up your mold problem. Professional cleaners or remediators may use methods not covered here. Please note that mold may cause staining and cosmetic damage. It may not be possible to clean an item so that its original appearance is restored.

  • Fix plumbing leaks and other water problems as soon as possible. Dry all items completely.
  • Scrub mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water, and dry completely.
  • Absorbent or porous materials, such as ceiling tiles and carpet, may have to be thrown away if they become moldy. Mold can grow on or fill in the empty spaces and crevices of porous materials, so the mold may be difficult or impossible to remove completely.
  • Avoid exposing yourself or others to mold. See discussions:
  • Do not paint or caulk moldy surfaces. Clean up the mold and dry the surfaces before painting. Paint applied over moldy surfaces is likely to peel.
  • If you are unsure about how to clean an item, or if the item is expensive or of sentimental value, you may wish to consult a specialist. Specialists in furniture repair, restoration, painting, art restoration and conservation, carpet and rug cleaning, water damage, and fire or water restoration are commonly listed in phone books. Be sure to ask for and check references. Look for specialists who are affiliated with professional organizations.

Types of Mold

Type of Mold

➤ Breathe easier with professional mold removal in Nairobi. Advanced clearing techniques for a healthier home. Call US Green Carpet Cleaning at 0792 293 443 for expert mold solutions!

Most mold removal is treated in the same way, but knowing the specific type of mold can help determine the depth of the removal work.

  • Black mold: Black mold gets more attention because Stachybotrys chartarum gained attention in the media around 1993-94 after a cluster of cases of pulmonary hemorrhage and hemosiderosis in infants occurred in Cleveland after living in water damaged residences where investigators found Stachybotrys chartarum. A hypothesis was formed that linked Stachybotrys chartarum to the illnesses, but later the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) couldn’t conclude a possible association between acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage among infants and Stachybotrys chartarum.
  • Alternaria: Alternaria mold appears as a dark, green-gray color and mostly exists outdoors. It can travel indoors and spread on carpets, wallpaper and fabrics.
  • Aspergillus: Aspergillus mold comes in a variety of colors from white, green and red. Penicillin is derived from Aspergillus and those with an allergy to penicillin can feel the effect of Aspergillus.
  • Chaetomium: Chaetomium has a blue-green color and can appear in areas that have experienced prolonged periods of high humidity and dampness. It can appear most often in air ducts and walls.
  • Cladosporium: Cladosporium has a white color and can appear often. It has the possibility to affect people with allergies and asthma.
  • Fusarium: Fusarium can appear as white, yellow, brown or pink. It typically grows outdoors and affects plants.
  • Green mold: Many molds can have a green color and can affect people with allergies and asthma.
  • Serpula lacrymans: Serpula lacrymans most often has a yellow color to it. It appears frequently on wood structures and furniture. It can sometimes get called slime mold because of its soft, liquid texture.
  • White mold: Many molds appear white in color. The texture can differentiate the molds as some white molds have a powdery texture.

Extent of Damage

The size of the mold problem impacts the cost since mold removal specialists can charge per square foot. It can also impact the remediation cost if the mold has spread to hidden parts of your home. Mold that spreads behind walls can lead to expensive repairs that can mean tearing out drywall and framing.

It’s important to respond to mold quickly to limit its spread. It’s also important to address the factors that led to mold in the first place. That can mean correcting humidity levels and repairing any leaks that led to a moisture buildup. Proper cleaning can limit the buildup of organic material that provides a place for mold to grow.

Reasons to Act Quickly on Mold Removal and Remediation

If left unchecked, mold can spread fast and lead to expansive problems. It’s important to act quickly when you spot mold to prevent its spread. While you can treat mold quickly to remove it from the spots where it appears, it’s important to address areas where it can spread, like your HVAC and ducts. Mold removal professionals will take steps to eliminate mold from those areas.

Mold can lead to wood rot and damaged walls. Replacing walls and insulation can be necessary if you let mold fester. A small spot of mold can reveal a larger problem and needs remediation to make sure it doesn’t spread.

How to Test for Mold

Knowing how to test for mold can help identify the type of mold you’re dealing with, and help you put together a plan of attack. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says mold testing isn’t necessary if visible mold growth appears. Should you want to test for mold on your own, here’s how to do it:

  1. Prep the room: Close doors, windows and vents in the room that you want to test for mold in for a period of 24 hours before testing.
  2. Gather supplies: Have your mold test kit ready to go and follow the instructions.
  3. Test: Follow the instructions of the mold test kit to collect airborne samples in the room. Be sure to seal off the room and not allow anyone in until after completing the test.
  4. Prepare test sample: Follow test kit instructions to seal the test sample and include the date and location of the sample.
  5. Wait for results: Some kits will require you to send in the sample, while others can show results quickly. Follow the directions outlined in the kit.

How Long Does Mold Removal Take?

There’s no straightforward answer to how long it will take to remove mold from your home. The duration of mold removal can vary widely depending on several factors, including the mold growth’s severity, the mold’s type, the size of the affected area and the remediation methods used. Therefore, mold removal can take one to three days, while severe mold growth can take up to five days.

Other Costs Associated With Mold Remediation

Removing the mold is often just one part of the equation in mold remediation. Once the mold is removed, you have to look at the situations that caused it in the first place. If a broken pipe leads to excessive moisture, you’ll have to repair that and any additional water damage. Depending on the damage, removal costs can increase if it takes multiple days and a dumpster.

Where the mold appears can make a difference, too. A mold problem in a basement or crawlspace can mean encapsulation of the space so mold doesn’t reappear. To stop mold from appearing you need to reduce humidity, moisture and organic material in your home that mold can latch on to.

DIY Mold Removal and Remediation vs. Hiring a Professional

Performing mold removal on your own versus hiring a professional depends on the size of the affected area and your level of expertise. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests that if the mold area measures less than 10 square feet, you can remove the mold on your own.

Removing mold on your own can prove costly unless you have some of the items on hand. Mold removal means you need a N95 mask, personal protective equipment, cleaning items, like soap and water, plus disposal equipment.

It’s usually best to leave mold removal to professionals who can ensure the mold won’t return with greater success than a DIYer. Professionals have the equipment and the knowledge on how to remove mold the best. That can include addressing your furnace and ductwork to remove any remaining spores in your home.

Tips to Save Money on Mold Remediation Costs

Mold remediation can be a significant expense, especially if the problem is extensive. But when it comes to mold removal, it’s important not to cut corners, as improper remediation can lead to health issues and recurring mold problems. That said, here are some tips to help you save money on mold remediation while ensuring a thorough and effective process:

  • Prevent mold growth: If you find any signs of mold in your home, don’t wait for it to worsen. Early detection and intervention can prevent the mold problem from spreading and becoming more costly to remediate.
  • Get multiple quotes: When looking for professional mold remediation services, it’s important to get quotes from multiple companies. This way, you can compare prices to make an informed decision.
  • Find the source: To prevent future mold growth, you must address the moisture source. If there is a leak or poor ventilation, take care of it before it leads to further mold growth.
  • Insurance coverage: You can find out if your homeowner’s insurance policy covers mold remediation by checking your policy. Some policies cover mold removal costs if the mold growth results from an unforeseeable circumstance, such as water damage from a burst pipe.

  • Identify the issue: Before reaching out, assess the extent of the mold issue yourself. Is it localized to one area, or is it widespread? This can help mold removal services provide a preliminary quote.

  7. How do you train your Technicians? Understanding the training and expertise level of the individuals who’ll be working on your property can give you added peace of mind.

Remember, mold isn’t just unsightly; it can pose health risks and compromise the structural integrity of your property. It’s imperative to choose a mold removal service that is competent, trustworthy and equipped to handle the task efficiently.

Mold Inspection vs. Remediation vs. Removal

When dealing with mold, understanding the terminology used by professionals is essential to ensure you’re getting the service you need. Let’s break down these terms and understand what each means, and then see which services are provided by the top companies on our list.

Mold Inspection

Mold inspection is the process of identifying the presence and type of mold growth in a structure. It often includes:

  • Locating the source of the moisture causing the mold
  • Determining the extent of the mold growth
  • Identifying the type of mold and potential health risks

This step is essential in diagnosing the severity of the issue and deciding on the subsequent course of action.

Mold Remediation

Mold remediation focuses on restoring mold levels to natural and healthy amounts. The process typically includes:

  • Containing the mold to prevent further spread
  • Cleaning and sanitizing affected areas
  • Identifying and rectifying the water source that led to mold growth

Ensuring moisture levels are back to normal to prevent future growth

Mold remediation may not always involve the removal of building materials, as some may be cleaned and treated in place.

Mold Removal

While the term “mold removal” is often used, it’s a bit misleading. Since microscopic mold spores can naturally be found everywhere, indoors and outdoors, getting rid of all of the mold inside a home or business is unachievable. Instead, the term often refers to:

  • The removal of mold-infested materials that cannot be salvaged
  • Cleaning and treating areas where mold is visible
  • Ensuring the environment is no longer conducive to excessive mold growth

Which Services do We Offer?

  • We Offers mold remediation, meaning they focus on addressing the root cause and restoring mold levels to normal.
  • We Specializes in mold remediation, providing comprehensive solutions to treat and prevent mold.
  •  We also offer mold removal, indicating they address visible mold and might remove and replace affected structures.

Cost of Hiring a Mold Removal Services

Mold remediation is an investment in your health and the structural integrity of your property. The average cost for mold remediation fluctuates based on the severity and extent of the infestation. According to Xactimate, a trusted estimating software used by professionals in the mold removal industry and insurance agents, remediation typically costs about  per square foot. This estimate encompasses the processes of HEPA vacuum cleaning and two rounds of washing with an antimicrobial solution.

To put these numbers into perspective:

  • For a 1,000-square-foot residence, you might expect mold removal to cost approximately 
  • An average-sized 2,000-square-foot home could incur expenses around 
  • Larger properties, such as a 5,000-square-foot home, might see costs escalate to the ballpark of 

Factors Influencing Cost

As mentioned, several elements can sway the final cost of mold remediation:

  • Extent of the mold infestation: Larger areas of contamination naturally require more labor and materials.
  • Location of the mold: Mold growing in harder-to-reach areas, like crawl spaces or within walls, can make the remediation process more labor-intensive and thus more costly.
  • Type of mold: Some mold types might necessitate specialized treatments or precautions, affecting the cost.
  • Structural repairs: If mold has caused significant structural damage, repairs might add to the overall expense.
  • Preventative measures: Post-remediation, implementing mold-resistant solutions or dehumidifiers can be an additional cost but will help prevent future issues.

Understanding these potential cost drivers can help homeowners budget more effectively and make informed decisions when hiring mold remediation services.


DIY Mold Removal vs. Hiring a Professional

When faced with mold in your home, the decision of whether to tackle it on your own or seek professional assistance is crucial. While it might seem cost-effective to embark on a DIY mold removal project, it’s vital to consider the associated health risks and complexities.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that homeowners might handle mold problems that cover less than 10 square feet. However, for areas exceeding this size, or if you’re uncertain about the extent, the stakes are too high to go it alone. Engaging with larger mold infestations without proper precautions can lead to exposure to harmful mold spores. Such exposure can result in respiratory issues, allergies and severe health challenges, especially when dealing with toxic black mold.

Furthermore, superficial DIY treatments might not address the root cause, allowing mold to return and possibly causing greater damage. Hence, while the idea of DIY mold removal might appeal to some, the potential dangers make it clear: for comprehensive and safe mold eradication, it’s imperative to hire a professional.

Advantages of Hiring a Mold Removal Company

After understanding the potential dangers and intricacies of DIY mold removal, it becomes clear why hiring experts is the smarter choice. Here are some advantages of hiring a mold removal company:

  • Specialized expertise: Professionals bring a depth of knowledge, ensuring complete mold removal and reducing the chance of recurrence.
  • Advanced equipment: Mold removal companies employ state-of-the-art equipment to detect, eliminate and prevent mold growth effectively.
  • Safety first: A professional company prioritizes safety, ensuring you and your family are protected from harmful mold spores.
  • Holistic treatment: Professionals don’t just remove visible mold, they dive deep, addressing the root cause of moisture problems, thus preventing future outbreaks.

How to Prevent Mold in Your Home

Mold thrives in damp and humid environments, often stemming from undetected water intrusions or poor ventilation. By understanding the conditions that mold favors, you can take proactive steps to ensure it doesn’t take up residence in your space. Here are some effective strategies to keep mold at bay:

  • Maintain proper ventilation: Particularly in areas of your home that generate a lot of moisture like bathrooms and kitchens, it’s crucial to ensure good airflow. Use exhaust fans or crack open a window when showering or cooking to reduce moisture.
  • Monitor indoor humidity: Aim to keep your indoor humidity levels between 30% and 50%. If certain rooms tend to get damp, consider using a dehumidifier.
  • Regularly inspect for leaks: Keep an eye on your home’s roof, windows and plumbing. If you spot a leak, address it as soon as possible to prevent prolonged moisture exposure.
  • Dry wet areas immediately: Whether it’s a spilled glass of water or a wet floor post-shower, ensure you dry any wet areas in your home within 24 to 48 hours.
  • Ensure good drainage: Check that your home’s gutters are clean and that the ground around the foundation slopes away from your house. This helps prevent water buildup which could lead to mold.
  • Use mold-resistant products: If you’re renovating or building new spaces, consider mold-resistant materials, particularly in parts of your home prone to dampness.
  • Regular cleaning: Keep high-humidity areas, like bathroom,s clean and regularly use mold-preventing cleaning agents.

  • Review the contract: Once agreed, ensure all details are in a written contract—from costs to the scope of work, and any guarantees offered.

Questions to Ask a Mold Removal Service

Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, it’s time to engage directly with potential services. Here are critical questions to ask:

  1. How do you test for mold? Some companies might perform testing themselves, while others might recommend an independent tester to avoid conflicts of interest.
  2. What equipment and methods will you use? This gives you insight into how they plan to tackle your mold problem. For instance, do they use EPA-approved chemicals? Do they have advanced equipment like HEPA air scrubbers and dehumidifiers?
  3. Can you provide references? Any reputable company should be willing to offer references from previous clients.
  4. How long will the process take? While every situation is unique, having a tentative timeline can help you plan.
  5. Will you seal off the affected area? Proper containment is crucial to prevent mold spores from spreading to other parts of your property.
  6. Do you offer a guarantee? Some companies might provide a guarantee for their work, ensuring that if mold returns within a certain period, they’ll address it at no extra cost.
  7. How do you train your Technicians? Understanding the training and expertise level of the individuals who’ll be working on your property can give you added peace of mind.

Remember, mold isn’t just unsightly; it can pose health risks and compromise the structural integrity of your property. It’s imperative to choose a mold removal service that is competent, trustworthy and equipped to handle the task efficiently.

 

Mold Inspection vs. Remediation vs. Removal

When dealing with mold, understanding the terminology used by professionals is essential to ensure you’re getting the service you need. Let’s break down these terms and understand what each means, and then see which services are provided by the top companies on our list.

Mold Inspection

Mold inspection is the process of identifying the presence and type of mold growth in a structure. It often includes:

  • Locating the source of the moisture causing the mold
  • Determining the extent of the mold growth
  • Identifying the type of mold and potential health risks

This step is essential in diagnosing the severity of the issue and deciding on the subsequent course of action.

Mold Remediation

Mold remediation focuses on restoring mold levels to natural and healthy amounts. The process typically includes:

  • Containing the mold to prevent further spread
  • Cleaning and sanitizing affected areas
  • Identifying and rectifying the water source that led to mold growth

Ensuring moisture levels are back to normal to prevent future growth

Mold remediation may not always involve the removal of building materials, as some may be cleaned and treated in place.

Mold Removal

While the term “mold removal” is often used, it’s a bit misleading. Since microscopic mold spores can naturally be found everywhere, indoors and outdoors, getting rid of all of the mold inside a home or business is unachievable. Instead, the term often refers to:

  • The removal of mold-infested materials that cannot be salvaged
  • Cleaning and treating areas where mold is visible
  • Ensuring the environment is no longer conducive to excessive mold growth

Mold Removal and Remediation

Remediation services can also be provided by Indoor-Restore Environmental Service; a customized, pre-written mold remediation procedure along with an estimate for this service will be provided with your report if contamination is reported by the lab. We use a 5-step protocol for all of our remediation services, and we are the only company in the industry to offer a 10 year warranty for the work, once completed in full.

 

Step 1: Scheduling Your Work

Once your consultation is complete, and you are ready to schedule the work, simply send in a copy of your signed estimate and contact the office to arrange payment. We accept all forms of payment, except American Express, and have secure electronic options available to help expedite this process.   We will work with you, and your schedule, to get the work started as soon as possible. Most work can be completed within 2 business days (this timeline may vary depending on the actual work recommended).

 

Step 2: Starting Your Work – 5 Step Protocol

We employ a 5 Step Protocol for our remediation services, based off of EPA and CDC guidelines, as well as industry standards, and following OSHA guidelines for safety. The following outlines each step in our process:

  1. Pre-job Testing – On the scheduled start date of your remediation work, additional testing will be performed. This includes an inspection of non-prescribed work areas, and areas already outlined in the estimate. Prior to the start of remediation, samples (surface and/or air) will be taken in all non-work areas throughout the property, at no additional charge to the customer. These samples are sent to the lab for processing while your work is being completed. This pre-job testing is important because we must be sure we are completely eradicating mold from the home before a full clearance can be issued.
  1. Containment and Filtration – Each area of concern, as outlined in your estimate, will have a containment chamber set up with a decontamination chamber as needed for entrance into, and exit from, the contained areas. All workers will be outfitted in OSHA approved, full body Tyvek suits and face respirators with eye protection. Each area will have a minimum of one air scrubber/negative pressure air machine and one HEPA filter vacuum. All contained areas of concern will be air scrubbed for the duration of the project.
  1. Removal – All contaminated building materials will be bagged, sealed and discarded. All debris will be disposed of properly to meet all county and state laws.
  1. Cleaning – All exposed wood members and cavities will be sanded, scrubbed, wire brushed, and HEPA vacuumed as needed, and treated with a hospital grade biocide solution. All exposed inner-wall cavities and wood members will be coated with an anti-fungal encapsulant to prevent any future mold growth from occurring. All accessible hard surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings, ledges) in the work area will be decontaminated (HEPA vacuumed, biocide treatments, antifungal agent wipes, etc.).
  1. Clearance Testing – Once all remediation is complete, clearance samples will be collected and laboratory analysis performed to ensure no further contamination is present. A clearance certification and 10 year warranty will be issued once all areas pass clearance testing.

 

Step 3: 3 Months Warranty

Indoor-Restore Environmental Services offers a Three-month warranty on all mold remediation services we conduct at your property. This warranty assures that mold will not recur to areas remediated by our company, under normal living conditions. We provide this to all of our clients to ensure the peace of mind they deserve, and to guarantee that the efforts executed by our technicians are of the highest standards and quality.

It is the responsibility of the client to repair all water intrusions and leaks immediately, so that no elevated levels of moisture exist; this can include: water leaks, water intrusion, and elevated humidity due to proximity to the ocean, etc. Any moisture issues not addressed immediately can void the warranty. If any mold growth occurs in the work areas, and no new or ongoing moisture issues are present, then continued remediation will be completed at no additional charge to the client.

Any new drywall, drywall mud, drywall tape, insulation, primer, and paint that is installed must have anti-fungal agents incorporated in them. These products contain specific chemicals that will resist mold growth for extended periods.
