Mold Restoration

According to the CDC, “there is always some mold everywhere,” and it’s true. Mold becomes a problem, however, when there is an overgrowth due to leaks, water damage, or excessively moist environments. When mold reaches these unhealthy levels, not only does it smell and look unsightly, but it can have adverse effects on your health. Mold affects everyone differently, but should always be taken seriously. Some may experience no adverse reactions to mold at all, while others can experience a variety of health problems including eye irritation, skin irritation, and respiratory issues such as coughing and wheezing. Mold can be especially dangerous to the young, the elderly, or those that are immunocompromised.

With a small amount of mold growth, taking care of it yourself may be an option. For more extensive mold problems, mold remediation by expert professionals is the way to go to ensure not only the longevity of your property, but your health and safety, and the health and safety of those you love.

Simply put, mold restoration is the complete process used to solve a mold problem. The steps that are involved in mold remediation will largely depend on a variety of factors including the cause(s) of the mold, the extent of the mold growth, and the extent of the damage caused by the mold.
Let’s take a look at some steps that the Twin Home Experts take to tackle mold and aid in mold restoration.

• Diagnosis and Testing: It is possible for a home to look and smell completely normal, yet have a mold problem hiding out of sight, affecting your health without you even realizing it. We use professional air testing, as well as other diagnostic methods, to find mold and contamination in any place in the home or office, visible or hidden.

• Safety and Preparation: After diagnosis, the process of removing and neutralizing mold begins, but some safety precautions must be taken first. One important precaution to take is isolating the affected areas. Mold spreads through spores that travel through the air, so we seal the doorways of contaminated areas with anti-microbial plastic.

• Neutralization and Mold Removal: There isn’t a one-size-fits-all product for removing mold. Mold interacts with materials such as drywall, tile, wood, or leather in different ways and requires different processes and products to remove. Our experts know the best products to use for each circumstance, and always use the safest and best-smelling products available.

• Material Removal and Restoration: Surfaces and objects that have too much mold damage such as cabinet walls, wood panels, or sinks and pipes may need to be completely removed and replaced.

• Detection and Prevention: Hand-in-hand with diagnosing the extent of the mold issue, is detecting the source of the mold and taking the necessary steps to prevent it from repopulating once the mold is removed. Without proper detection and prevention, mold will eventually come back and continue to be a problem. Prevention could include fixing leaky pipes, restoring water damage, or controlling moisture entering areas like attics and basements.
