The Difference Between Mold Removal and Mold Remediation

4/10/2018 (Permalink)

Mold spores cannot be detected by the naked eye as a spore, and they exist naturally almost everywhere. They are microscopic and can be found both indoors and out. Removing all mold from a home or business is actually impossible!

Mold becomes a true issue when it gets out of balance and its growth explodes. When the conditions are warm, wet, and dark, this can happen easily, and when it does, you will need the services of a professional.

Some professional restoration businesses advertise mold removal and even go so far as to guarantee the removal of all mold, but this is not really possible; it IS possible, however, to remediate mold in your home or business. To remediate means to bring mold back to its normal and natural level. A qualified restoration company like SERVPRO of Brunswick understands the science behind mold and its growth, and we have the training and experience to remediate the mold in your home or business.

Every situation where mold damage is found is going to be totally different and will require a specific solution, but in general, the mold remediation process remains the same.

If you believe that you have an unnatural mold situation developing, call our team at SERVPRO of Brunswick and schedule an inspection and mold damage assessment. Our team will take steps to contain the mold and filtrate the air of the area affected. All mold and materials will be removed and contents and belongings of the area will be cleaned thoroughly. We will then undertake the restoration of your property and make sure you are mold-damage free.

Here are some things to be aware of:

• Mold spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows, doors, or HVAC systems. They can even hitch a ride on your pet!
• Mold is microscopic; don’t expect to see it with your naked eye.
• Mold growth can happen in as little as 24-48 hours! A higher-than-normal humidity level indoors can encourage the growth of mold colonies.
• Mold produces a strong musty odor.
• Mold produces irritants and can be hazardous to your health.
