Simple Indicators That You Might have a Mold Issue

A sour smell. It's a unique smell. Even if it's impossible to detect anything, you know it's there.
Visible Microbial Growth. Dark splotches on the ceiling, walls floors or baseboards. Spots across the ceiling may suggest a leaky roof, burst pipe, or condensation in the ductwork. Dark spots or the appearance of brown or black mold on the walls may suggest cracks or burst pipe behind the wall. It may be an incipient leak, but the damage can only increase.
Soft moist areas on the Floors, Walls or Ceiling. This could suggest that microbial growth is occurring. Mold may have not been visible yet but it may be hidden behind the drywall or on the support studs, underneath the flooring, or in the attic of your home.
Sudden Unexplained health issue. Nagging coughing, headaches and nausea or being sick only at home or in certain places. The persistent symptoms of allergies may be a sign that mold is present. The four groups that are most vulnerable to mold-related illnesses are:
- Children
- Senior citizens
- Immune-compromised
- Pregnant Women
A recent Water Event. The spores need water to grow which is why the recent flood, leak flood, or sewer back-up could have triggered the appropriate water activity needed in order to support mold growth.

A Typical 10 Step Process to Remove Mold

Find the Source. Find out the source of the water intrusion. The source must be identified and rectified so as to prevent the water intrusion from occurring again.
Visible Inspection of the Inspection of the Damage. Expert technicians inspect for obvious microbe growth, looking in areas that could be overlooked.
Diagnostic Testing. The equipment is specially designed to "sniff out" invisible mold that may be hiding in the walls, on stud framing and drywall. Mold testing instruments ensure thorough detection. In the event that it is necessary, air sample tests can be taken by an certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP collects samples and test every suspected room. Every mold is not the same, and the right tests can distinguish dangerous mold from just nuisance mold.
Establish Containment. Protecting the members of the family and the remainder of the home against the airborne mold spores by establishing containment. This creates an safe area to allow removal and work can begin. The kind of containment that is used will differ in accordance with the zone of contamination:
- Source: small areas of contamination, less than 10 sq. ft. Bagged and removed.
- Local is an area that is able to be sealed off and remedied, usually 10 sq. ft. up to 100 sq. ft.
- Full containment areas which require an interim containment barriers for temporary containment to prevent cross-contamination. Used to seal off an entire room or multiple rooms.
Air Filtration. Installment of mobile air filtration units that purify the air and enhance air quality in the home. Protecting the family from pathogens that are transmitted by air is achieved through the establishment of negative air pressures between the contaminated area and the remainder of the home.
Remove the Mold. Behind safety barriers, the technicians are able to remove materials affected by mold. This may include drywall, baseboards, cabinets, sinks or counters, and flooring in the kitchen. The removal of drywall covering ceilings or insulation may be necessary when there was a roof leak was involved. It could involve removing bathtubs or fixtures in the bathroom if the water has penetrated the walls because of leaky pipes. Highly skilled technicians take great care in conserving what can be kept while also taking care to ensure removal of any trace of mold.
Mold Treatment. After damaged materials were removed professional grade treatment and removal products are employed, following IICRC guidelines. The remaining surfaces are then cleaned and treated.
Air Purification. After removal and treatment is finished, air purification is performed for a number of days.
Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. After the air purification procedure is completed after the air purification protocol is completed, after the post-remediation air sample testing will be conducted and is given an A+ grade through the IEP.
Equipment Removal. Once after post-remediation testing is finished and air sample is considered acceptable by an certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment is removed. This creates a clear canvas for bringing in contractors to repair flooring or flooring or redesign the kitchen or bath as needed.

What to look for when Hiring an Mold Remediation Company

The Right Price A reputable mold removal companies will never be charged for work that is not needed. They thoroughly inspect homes and suggest the actions necessary in order to bring the home to a healthy condition. Beware of companies that might inflate prices or charge pad fees.
The Right Ethics Find reputable companies in location and nearby areas. They should offer fair prices and only recommend work that is necessary in order to restore your home and ensure the safety of your family. Companies that are reputable stand behind their work 100%.
The Right Time NOW! If you find mold, you want it gone quickly. Contact someone to begin the drying process, determine the root of the issue, and begin testing to determine how to fix the problem.
The Right Practices Make sure that the mold removal company uses safe practices to protect your family. For example, proper techniques like HEPA vacuuming for dust/spore control are always preferable over misting, which could introduce more moisture into the space.
The right credentials Seek out professionals certified in the areas of WRT (Water Restoration Technician), ASD (Applied Structural Drying), and AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician).
The Right Team Professional teams operate to the most stringent standards every day. From the beginning of the phone call up to the post-remediation inspection, they must treat each customer as family and each home in the same way as it is their home.
