CERTIFICATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS
When Should You Call A Mold Remediation Company?
1. When You See Visible Mold Growth
Mold that appears on walls, ceilings, floors, or furniture is often only part of the problem. What you see may be the surface layer of a larger colony spreading inside walls, under flooring, or in other hidden spaces. Professional remediation ensures the entire problem is treated, not just the visible areas.
2. When You Smell Persistent Musty Odors
A musty odor is one of the strongest indicators of mold, even if you cannot see it. These odors usually mean that colonies are growing in hidden areas such as crawl spaces, attics, or ventilation systems. A remediation company can locate the source of the smell, remove the mold safely, and restore clean indoor air.
3. After Water Damage or Flooding
Leaks, burst pipes, and flooding create moisture that lingers long after the water is gone. Within 24 to 48 hours, mold can begin to grow in damp conditions. Calling a remediation company immediately after water damage helps prevent widespread growth, protects your property, and reduces the risk of costly long term repairs.
4. When You Notice Discoloration or Stains
Mold often shows up as black, green, or brown patches on drywall, wood, or ceilings. These stains are a sign of active growth, and simply wiping them can spread spores and worsen the situation. Professionals have the training, cleaning agents, and equipment to remove the contamination fully and prevent regrowth.
5. If You Experience Health Symptoms
Mold exposure can lead to a range of health issues, including allergies, coughing, breathing problems, and skin irritation. If you or your family experience these symptoms at home, it may indicate mold growth in your property. Remediation eliminates the contamination and creates a healthier living environment.
6. Before Mold Spreads to New Areas
Mold spreads rapidly through airborne spores that move from one room to another. Left untreated, it can damage structural materials, ruin personal belongings, and create unsafe conditions. Calling a remediation company early helps contain the spread, resolve the source of moisture, and prevent the need for more extensive repairs later.
What's our process like when we are Remediating Mold?
At Franco Restorations, we begin every mold remediation project with a careful inspection to identify signs of mold growth and the underlying causes such as water damage, leaks, or high humidity. Once the affected areas are evaluated, we create a detailed written action plan that outlines the steps needed for safe and effective remediation. Our goal is to eliminate mold completely while preventing it from returning.
During the process, we take all necessary precautions to protect the health and safety of occupants. This includes managing containment, arranging inspections, and handling regulatory requirements when needed. If asbestos is present, our team follows strict state approved procedures for safe removal, ensuring compliance and peace of mind throughout the remediation process.
Specific Work Practices Include:
We handle all necessary paperwork, notifications, and permits to ensure full compliance with local regulations throughout the remediation process.
Our team also takes every precaution to protect air quality in and around the work area. This includes the careful application of amended liquids, timely containment of waste, and strict worker hygiene and changing practices.
Finally, all contaminated materials are disposed of at an EPA certified hazardous waste site, guaranteeing safe and responsible removal in line with environmental standards.
Health Effects – How is Mold Harmful and Dangerous
Mold becomes hazardous when its spores are released into the air, which can happen easily if the growth is disturbed. While obvious events such as water damage, leaks, and floods often trigger mold, less noticeable factors like sanding, renovations, or even heavy foot traffic on carpets and flooring can also send spores into the air. Once airborne, these microscopic particles spread quickly and pose significant health risks, especially in environments with high humidity or poor ventilation.
When mold spores are inhaled or ingested, they can embed themselves in the tissues of the lungs or stomach lining. Prolonged exposure has been linked to serious health concerns, including chronic respiratory conditions, lung disease, gastrointestinal problems, and even certain cancers. In many cases, the long term health risks of mold exposure mirror those associated with asbestos, making prompt and professional mold remediation an essential step in protecting both property and health.
Mold Related Health Issues
Allergic Reactions
Mold exposure can trigger allergies such as sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, and skin irritation. Over time, these symptoms may worsen, especially in individuals who are sensitive to mold.Respiratory Issues
Breathing in mold spores can contribute to asthma, bronchitis, chronic coughing, and other respiratory problems. People with existing breathing conditions are especially vulnerable.Toxic Mold Illness
Certain molds, including black mold, release mycotoxins that can cause serious health effects such as headaches, dizziness, memory difficulties, and persistent fatigue.Infections
Those with weakened immune systems face a higher risk of respiratory infections from mold exposure. Symptoms may include fever, chest discomfort, and extreme tiredness.Chronic Sinus Problems
Extended exposure to mold can result in long term sinus conditions, leading to pressure, nasal congestion, and recurring headaches that interfere with daily life.
Mold has become a common problem in homes, buildings, and other indoor spaces. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is no safe level of mold exposure. Mold thrives in damp, humid environments and releases spores into the air that can spread quickly. Prolonged exposure to these spores may lead to significant health concerns and damage to the property if not addressed promptly.
