Mold removal is simply the act of cleaning the visible mold. Professional mold remediation is a complete process that includes identifying the moisture source causing the growth, containing the area to prevent spreading, removing the mold, cleaning the air, and treating the surfaces to ensure the mold does not return.

If the affected area is larger than 10 square feet, if you have a strong, persistent musty odor, or if the mold was caused by a significant water damage event (like a flood or sewage backup), it is highly recommended to hire a certified professional to ensure it is handled safely and effectively.

The timeline can vary. A small, simple project might take one day, while a large or complex job involving significant contamination could take three to five days or more. We will provide you with a clear and accurate timeline for your specific project with our free estimate.

Yes, safety is our number one priority. We use full containment barriers to isolate the work area and powerful HEPA air filtration systems to clean the air during the process. We also use EPA-approved, low-toxicity cleaning agents that are safe for your family and pets once the job is complete.

Insurance coverage for mold depends entirely on your policy and the cause of the damage. Often, mold caused by a sudden event (like a burst pipe) is covered, while mold from long-term leaks or humidity may not be. We can provide all the necessary documentation to assist you with your insurance claim process.

Bleach is only effective on non-porous surfaces like tile and glass. On porous materials like drywall or wood, it cannot kill the mold's root system, and the mold will quickly grow back. Improperly cleaning mold can also spread millions of invisible spores throughout your home, making the problem worse.

This depends on the scope of the project. For small, isolated areas, you can often remain in the home. However, for large-scale projects or when dealing with toxic black mold, we typically recommend that you make arrangements to stay elsewhere for your safety until the air has been cleared.

The key to preventing mold from returning is to fix the original moisture problem. Our remediation process includes identifying and advising on how to repair that source, whether it's a leak, a ventilation issue, or high humidity. By removing the water source, we ensure a lasting solution.
