Excessive Mold Growth can be hazardous to your health
There is no such thing as 100% mold removal. Mold is as common to our lives as the air we breathe. Outdoors and indoors, mold is biology’s decomposing mechanism. Many companies will tout they can completely remove all mold in your home. You see, there will always be a presence of small amounts of mold, and that is completely normal.
- Excessive mold, however, can be hazardous to your health
When the indoor air quality of your property has been affected by the presence of excessive mold, symptoms could include respiratory problems such as heavy breathing, wheezing, and unexplained shortness of breath.
Occupants can also experience sinus and nasal congestion, as well as burning or watery eyes. In addition, depending upon the severity, one could experience skin irritation, skin rashes or irritation in the throat or nose. In severe cases, headaches, nosebleeds, body pains and high fever have been reported.

This way, mold spores cannot get disrupted and travel to other areas of the property. This technique keeps mold isolated where the damage has occurred.
- Remove any affected material that is porous: This includes drywall, carpet padding, ceiling tiles, clothing, leather and more. If areas of the drywall has been affected, then we will cut 12” around the perimeter of the affected area, making sure we remove all contamination
- Using a stiff brush and pads, scrub the affected area and rinse with hot water: This process removes the mold from the remaining areas. A stiff brush assist the cleaning process by offering the proper amount of abrasion to remove stubborn mold spores.
