Mold Remediation -What it is and How it Works

Mold, microscopic mold spores, live almost anywhere. Indoors or outdoors, it doesn’t matter; they will survive.  For this reason, the removal of every spore is virtually impossible, whether residential or commercial. 100% removal of all molds is a falsehood. However, SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville can get remarkably close.

According to USLegal.com, “The term mold remediation is defined as “the removal, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition, or other treatment, including preventive activities, of mold or mold-contaminated matter that was not purposely grown at that location.”

Mold remediation is a science that should be completed by a highly qualified mold restoration company, such as SERVPRO of Northeast Collin County/Greenville. Our experts understand the intricate science behind mold and mold growth due to the intense training required of each technician. The ultimate goal of mold remediation is to return the structure to normal mold levels that are naturally occurring.

When should a mold inspection and mold testing be considered?

If mold is visible, then you can skip the inspection and go right to remediation. There are multiple other reasons:

• If there is a musty smell of mold, but it is not visible.
• Where there has been water damage from a flood, storm, or leak.
• If someone in the home has a health issue where the cause cannot be immediately found and may be related. Mold symptoms include coughing, sneezing, headaches, etc.
• Real Estate transactions for buyer and seller protection
• Post Mold Removal Clearance Testing to ensure that the earlier mold issue has been resolved and mold counts have returned to levels found in healthy environments of the same type.

What is the process of mold remediation?

Every mold damage scenario is unique. Therefore, all solutions are not the same, yet the process is comprehensive and consistent from structure to structure.
