Mold Remediation
Mold becomes a problem when there's excessive humidity or moisture inside the home or business for an extended period of time. The problem can originate from a small leak in the roof or plumbing, a pipe burst or large spill that goes untreated. High humidity in a bathroom or warm, moist air condensing on cool surfaces can also cause mold.
If there is visible mold growth on painted wall surfaces, there is almost always mold growth on the inside of the wall. If the wall remains wet for a prolonged period, it's almost guaranteed that the mold growth on the back side will be worse than on the front. If this is the case, containing the work space and removing moldy materials, followed by cleaning of salvageable framing, are the best options.
It's always best to have mold evaluated and removed by a certified professional. Our professionals have been trained and have experience to: identify moisture sources, evaluate mold growth (visible or suspected), contain damage to the smallest area possible, physically remove contamination, dry materials to ensure that mold will not return, and perform or recommend procedures for returning property to a pre-loss condition.
