Why it's essential to hire professionals

As professionals, we handle mold remediation tasks with utmost seriousness to prevent the problem from resurfacing. Keep in mind that if you decide to handle the task on your own, you might use the wrong process which can worsen the situation.

How we remove mold in your home

We hate mold, and we know you do too, so we use the best process to eliminate mold from your home. In addition to that, we utilize the latest industry-leading equipment to ensure that mold becomes a thing of the past in your residence.

The mold remediation process we use is clear and involves the following steps:

1. Inspecting and assessing damage
   Most of the times, mold can grow while hidden from plain view, so the problem that you think is not so complicated can be one of the most complicated issues you've ever dealt with. As such, we use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that we detect mold even if it's hidden from your sight. That way, we can determine how complex the issue is and take the necessary action.
2. Containment
   A majority of the mold remediation processes can send mold spores into the air, and those spores have to be prevented from gaining access into other unaffected rooms. To do so, we use different techniques and equipment to prevent further spread of mold.
3. Air filtration
   Our mold remediation process also involves "scrubbing" the air to remove mold spores from the air during the process. That way, further spread of mold onto new surfaces in unaffected rooms is prevented.
4. Removing mold and the affected materials
   This is one of the most important steps in mold remediation since it involves the actual elimination of the mold. The first step which involves inspection and assessment proves to be useful at this stage since it's what the experts use to determine how the removal will be done.
   
   Before the mold is gotten rid of, the affected items also have to be assessed. That's important so that the restorable items are separated from the ones that can't be restored. The ones that can't be restored should then be disposed of carefully.
5. Caring for the affected belongings
   Once we have determined what items can be restored, the next step is usually to clean them and deodorize them while eliminating the bad odors. This step should be carefully done to prevent resurfacing of mold.
6. Restoration
   In cases where the mold has severely affected the surface it grew on, we might need to repair or replace the affected surfaces.
