CERTIFICATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS
When Should You Get a Mold Removal Company?
1. When You See Visible Mold
Mold that appears on walls, ceilings, floors, or furniture is usually only part of the problem. What you can see on the surface may be the tip of a larger colony hidden inside walls, under flooring, or in insulation. Professional mold removal ensures the contamination is eliminated completely rather than just wiped away.
2. When You Smell Musty Odors
A musty or earthy odor is often one of the earliest signs of mold growth. These smells usually mean colonies are forming in hidden spaces such as attics, crawl spaces, or ventilation systems. A mold removal company can track down the source of the odor, remove the contamination, and restore clean air quality throughout your home.
3. After Water Damage or Flooding
Leaks, burst pipes, and flooding leave behind moisture that seeps into building materials and creates the perfect environment for mold. Spores can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours. Bringing in a mold removal company after water damage prevents mold from spreading, reduces structural risk, and saves money in the long run.
4. When You Notice Discoloration or Stains
Mold often shows up as black, green, or brown patches on walls, ceilings, or wood surfaces. These stains are signs of active growth, and trying to scrub them yourself can spread spores further. Professionals use specialized cleaning methods and containment practices to safely remove mold without causing cross contamination.
5. If You Experience Health Symptoms
Exposure to mold can trigger allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, chronic coughing, headaches, and even skin irritation. If you or your family notice these issues indoors, it may be due to hidden mold. A mold removal company identifies the source, eliminates the contamination, and creates a healthier living environment.
6. Before Mold Spreads Further
Mold spores travel easily through the air and quickly colonize new areas. Left untreated, they can damage drywall, wood, insulation, and personal belongings. Calling a mold removal company early keeps the problem contained, fixes the moisture source, and prevents more costly repairs down the line.
What's our process like when we are Removing Mold?
We begin every mold removal project with a thorough inspection to identify potential growth and the conditions that allow it to spread. If water damage, leaks, or excess humidity have created a problem, our team carefully evaluates the affected areas and provides a detailed written action plan for safe and effective mold removal. Our goal is to address the contamination fully while also resolving the source to prevent future issues.
If you are planning renovations or property changes, we take extra precautions to ensure the safety of everyone involved. This includes containment measures, arranging required inspections, and managing regulatory notifications or permits. In cases where asbestos is present, our team follows strict state approved procedures for removal, combining mold remediation with safe handling of hazardous materials to protect both your property and your health.
Specific Work Practices Include:
We handle all required paperwork, notifications, and permits to ensure full compliance with local regulations throughout the mold removal process.
Our team also takes strict precautions to protect air quality within and around the work area. This includes the use of amended liquids, proper containment of waste, and strict worker hygiene and changing practices to prevent cross contamination.
All contaminated materials are transported and disposed of at an EPA certified hazardous waste site, ensuring safe, responsible, and environmentally compliant removal.
Health Effects – How is Mold Harmful and Dangerous
Mold becomes hazardous when its spores are released into the air, which often happens when the growth is disturbed. While obvious events such as water damage, leaks, and flooding can trigger mold, less noticeable activities like sanding, repairs, or even heavy foot traffic on carpets and flooring can also cause spores to spread. Once airborne, these particles move quickly throughout a property and pose serious health risks, especially in areas with high humidity or poor ventilation.
When mold spores are inhaled or ingested, they can settle in the lungs or stomach lining and begin causing harm. Long term exposure has been linked to significant health problems, including chronic respiratory issues, lung disease, gastrointestinal illness, and in severe cases even certain cancers. These risks are comparable to the dangers of asbestos exposure, making professional mold removal essential for protecting both property and health.
Mold Related Health Issues
Allergic Reactions
Mold exposure can cause allergic responses such as sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, and skin irritation. These symptoms often become more severe over time, especially in people sensitive to mold.Respiratory Issues
Breathing in mold spores can lead to asthma, bronchitis, persistent coughing, and other respiratory problems. Those with existing conditions are at greater risk of complications.Toxic Mold Illness
Certain molds, including black mold, release toxins that may cause serious health problems such as headaches, dizziness, memory difficulties, and ongoing fatigue.Infections
People with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop respiratory infections from mold exposure. Common symptoms include fever, chest discomfort, and extreme tiredness.Chronic Sinus Problems
Extended exposure to mold can cause long lasting sinus conditions, resulting in congestion, pressure, and frequent headaches that interfere with daily activities.
MMold has become a common issue in homes, businesses, 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. With long term exposure, these spores can create serious health risks and damage property if not properly addressed.
