Mold removal and treatment

What to do when you discover mold

Act as soon as you notice mold. Mold spreads quickly, and once active will spread throughout your home to grow wherever there’s excessive moisture—even high humidity is enough to nurture it.

  1. Don’t touch it. Disturbing mold helps it spread.
  2. Turn off fans and climate control, which can spread the mold through the house and into your ducts.
  3. Isolate the area by closing doors and windows, and keep people and pets out.

Then call us. We can begin professional mold damage cleanup almost immediately.

Our 24/7 emergency services will talk with you right away and help you take action to mitigate the damage even before our crews arrive.

The basics of mold

Don’t let mold spread

Mold is a living organism, and it exists everywhere. In damp places, it develops into rapidly growing colony that is smelly and ugly, creates breathing difficulties, and can seriously damage your home if left untreated. A little bit of mold can become a lot of mold over the space of just a day or two, so it’s best to have professionals assess the problem and begin cleanup right away.

  1. Mold grows and spreads quickly. Mold is a natural part of the environment, but certain kinds of it can grow exponentially in moist environments inside buildings. Because it spreads through microscopic spores, it can infiltrate your entire home or business by traveling on air currents.
  2. Mold is a health concern. Mold can cause respiratory problems in people and pets, and the young and elderly are particularly affected.
  3. Mold may be growing where you can’t see it. Mold can grow inside walls and ceilings, in stored clothing and paper, and any place where there’s moisture. Simply wiping mold off a surface may actually help spread it, and doesn’t get to the root of the problem.

The steps of professional mold cleanup

  1. How we limit mold damage

    1. We seal off the mold from the rest of the building. We dress ourselves in professional-grade respirators and protective gear, and seal the affected spaces. Our mold experts then assess the size of the problem and the degree of immediate damage. We’ll provide pricing on the spot for these first emergency measures.
    2. We cut off the source of moisture. Mold feeds on moisture, so we work quickly to find and eliminate it—whether it’s condensation, a plumbing issue, or a leak in the building envelope.
    3. We assess the full scope of the damage. In some cases, the area around the visible mold is the only place affected—but mold may also be growing in spaces below, behind, and above what’s obvious. Our professional tools let us find or rule out hidden mold growth, with minimal damage to your home or business.
    4. We clean and dry the affected areas. Because of how easily mold can spread—and the damage that it can cause to lungs—it’s best to let experts with specialized techniques and tools tackle the problem. Our professionals can also find and fix any structural damage that the mold may have caused.
    5. We provide a full estimate for complete damage cleanup, including restoration services, within 24 hours of completing the assessment. Then we’ll fully catalog damage to the structure and affected items such as furniture, clothing, and appliances. We’ll work with your insurance company to make sure there is no confusion or omission, to make sure you get the money you need to return your home or business to its pre-mold condition.
    6. We fix it, good as new. We repair damage and clean all affected areas, returning it to its pre-loss state. We launder damaged soft goods, remove mold-related odors, and safely haul away any material that must be disposed of. We leave you confident in the cleanliness of your home or business.

Maybe you don't need us.

It’s easy to convince yourself that your mold isn’t as bad as it first looks, and that you can put on a mask and a pair of gloves and treat the problem with a specialized cleaner from a big box store. Maybe you’re sure that the mold hasn’t spread, and that it’s not growing behind a cabinet or in the ceiling or wall where you can’t see it.

It still makes sense to have a professional mold damage team take a look. Mold can grow in places you can’t see, and with a speed that’s hard to imagine until it’s happening to your home. By the time you discover it, mold is already doing its damage and is spreading to damage more, so you shouldn’t wait to start a thorough and complete cleanup.

We Clean And Securely Store Your Belongings While We Work.

We provide cleaning and storage for all salvageable items while your home or office is being cleaned or rebuilt due to fire, water or any other form of damage.
