Exposure to mold can cause several respiratory health concerns such as throat irritation, coughing, and breathing issues as well as skin irritation. Conditions caused by mold are often similar to allergies or urban pollution and may be neglected, mistreated, and undiagnosed. For people with conditions such as asthma and other heart and respiratory illnesses, mold can even be lethal if not mitigated effectively.

What is the Process of Mold Removal for a Los Angeles Home Effected by Mold?

Mold removal is the process of identifying and removing mold that is growing in unnatural levels and usually within an enclosed area such as your basement, under counters and sinks, and between walls. But, one thing you may not understand is that mold exists naturally everywhere. Mold and mold spores can be found in many places in your home, your office, and outdoors where the highest levels of mold are generally known to exist.

In Los Angeles, mold growth is caused by moisture, humidity, darkness, and heat. Small amounts of mold may not be very harmful, but mold is sneaky and often finds a home where it can grow and be undisturbed for weeks, months, and in severe cases years. Odors, new health concerns, and when the air in your home feels stale are indicators that a mold problem already exists even if you can’t see it. Remember that leaky dishwasher last year that spread on your floors? How about damaged siding from heavy rain or condensation on your water pipes? Mold spores love to find places such as between walls and floors, under the carpet, and in hard-to-reach cabinet and basement areas to grow.

If you suspect you might have had any of these issues, this is the time to start thinking of calling a mold removal specialist.

What Does it Mean to Remediate Mold for my Los Angeles Home?

As we mentioned earlier, mold is everywhere and mold is part of the natural environment. However, it is the unnatural amounts of growth that we should be concerned about. That’s where the importance of mold remediation comes into play. If you live in Los Angeles, mold may have never been a trigger for you. But events as small as a leaky pipe and as big as sewage back up or flood can hit nearly anywhere. Mold remediation is a process that needs to be handled by a well-trained and experienced team who is practiced at the clean-up, removal, and disposal of your mold problem. Not all mold problems, nor even all mold, is the same and a defined plan is important. Most plans will often begin with a biocide treatment to kill often the mold growth and depending on how much mold exists there are different approaches to removal as well as prevention plans to ensure your mold problem does not return. Should you see signs of mold, this is an obvious health hazard where you would require a professional Los Angeles mold removal and remediation company to come in and stop the mold from spreading and fix the source of the mold.

Los Angeles Mold Inspection & Testing

You’ve started wheezing and sneezing. Maybe you think your allergies have been acting up. Or, maybe you think mold is the cause. Whether you see mold in your home or suspect its presence there is a good chance it’s there. You know the symptoms, you have your suspicions, but what do you do next? Mold inspection and testing are the first step to the actual identification of your suspected mold problem.

Mold inspection is a visual inspection of your property. Your mold inspector may ask you questions regarding where you suspect mold is accumulating but will also check areas where mold is likely to be growing. Don’t be surprised if a visual mold check includes access to your basement, crawl space, utility rooms, under carpet, and especially under lower cabinets and sinks. Additionally, mold inspection may check for leaks and follow pipes where accessible.

Mold testing is broken into two parts. The first is taking air samples, most commonly with the use of a spore trap. Once particles have been gathered, they can be analyzed to determine if the spore count in your home is beyond the expected level for your area The second type of mold test is taking surface samples which can be done by removing a sampled area, swab testing, or tape samples.

Testing will help determine the concentration of spore samples and if your concentration is abnormal for the city of Los Angeles and the type of mold you need to mitigate

How Can I Tell If I Have Black Mold?

Need a Los Angeles company to remove your black mold permanently?. Sounds gross, right? When we talk about the dangers of mold, tops on that list is black mold. While any type of mold can cause minor irritation or breathing problems for people with respiratory illness, black mold refers to mold that is toxic to everyone, often greenish-black in color, hence the name. While many molds are black or toxic in nature, most professionals in Los Angeles will recognize black mold by its scientific name, Stachybotrys chartarum, there are a host of other molds that can also be toxic such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Alternaria.

If you want to know if you have black mold growing in your home, you should know that black mold has a musty, organic smell similar to rotting leaves or soil. Visible signs of black mold may be evident in areas of water concentration, grey or black rings on drywall, or you can lift an edge of your carpeting in a suspected area to see the dark growth. However, if you are concerned, it’s best to contact a professional that can come and take a look for you.

Mold Repair

There are several ways to manage mold once found. For example, a common treatment is with biocide which kills the mold, and instead of scraping away mold from stone, wood, or fabric, areas such as stone walls are painted with a special paint that isolates the dead mold from its food sources. Other mold repair may require removal and replacement of drywall, rotting wood, and carpet. Trained professionals can also help you investigate where the source of your mold problem may have started. In cases of sewage back-up and flooding the source may be obvious. However, it is also possible that water leak of condensation from a higher floor in your home is riding your pipes to another area of your home.

Mold repair is essential to both remove the hazard of black and other molds as well as identify the culprit leading to your problem.

How Long Does Mold Removal Take in Los Angeles?

The honest answer? It depends. The mold inspection is going to determine what your removal needs are. In many cases, mold removal generally takes 1 to 4 days. Factors that determine how long it will take come down to the location of the mold and how serious the problem is. A mold issue in your kitchen could have contractors in and out in one day. However if the mold is growing in between walls or in hard to reach places, we will have to get into the wall and replace the drywall which typically means a few days.

Same Day Mold Testing

You know the saying, “the earlier the better.” It works with nearly every aspect of your life, including mold testing. In the right environment mold can grow quickly, go undetected, and become a significant problem fast! So, getting your results back quickly is important to remediating your problem before it gets worse.

Same day mold testing combines the visual inspection by a certified mold inspector, environmental measures for moisture and humidity, and mold sampling. This process allows us to help you put a plan in place for mold removal depending on the type of mold, growth levels, and current safety of the environment.

One Day Mold Removal Services

If you have a mold problem, you don’t want to sit around waiting for an appointment. We offer one-day mold removal services so that you can sleep sound and rest assured that mold is not going to impact your health, the health of your family members, or employees.

Mold removal can be a quick, efficient, and safe. Just like providing same-day mold testing, it’s important that once your mold problem has been identified it is quickly remedied. The fastest way to kill and remove the danger of black mold and other molds with toxic spores is by dry fogging to kill and prevent future growth.

Get Mold Removal Without A Demo

Mold removal without demolition is a common practice in Los Angeles. Let’s face it, most people want to get rid of mold in their homes, but they are hesitant to start removing walls and ripping their home or business apart. Mold removal without a demo is a process called dry fogging. When we dry fog your property, we are killing the mold in the air, in hard to reach places in your home, and other physical areas.

Dry fogging is a process that uses two chemicals. One chemical will kill the mold and the second chemical is a film that prevents future mold growth by eliminating molds access to air and moisture. It is a cost-effective and safe way to kill off current mold growth as well as help prevent future growth.

Mold can be a serious problem in Los Angeles, for a serious resolution you need to act fast to avoid skin and respiratory problems now and in the future.
