What is Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation, or cleanup, is the process used to remove mold and prevent its recurrence. Many different methods may be used during remediation, but it is imperative than any mold remediation be performed by a professional. Mold releases spores when it is disturbed; these potentially toxic spores can lead to many health problems ranging from asthma to respiratory illness, so mold remediation should be left to the professionals.

Mold Remediation Process

During mold remediation, professionals may use wet vacuums, high-efficiency particulate air vacuums, and disinfectants to remove the mold. The remediation may take several hours to several days depending on the area of contamination. During remediation, the contaminated area will be sealed off from the rest of the house. The final step of remediation is ensuring the affected area is thoroughly dry in order to prevent new mold growth.

Mold Causes

Molds grow as a result of damp, humid conditions and may rapidly grow and spread within just 24 to 48 hours. The longer you put off mold remediation and cleaning, the greater the damage to your home and the greater the health risk for your family.
