Tackling a severe mold infestation requires the help of a professional.

Mold is a problem that can wreak havoc on the structure of our homes as well as the health of everyone living inside. Getting mold out of your home is an essential part of cleaning up after flooding or a leak has caused severe damage to any home. In fact, such an undertaking should be handled by a professional who understands the harm and dangers associated with mold. Typically, mold begins growing in extremely moist conditions. Most commonly, mold grows as a direct result of a leak in a pipe or a flood. The problems that can result from the mold can be very harmful to the health of everyone living in the home. As a result, tackling any mold issue is extremely important and should always be handled right away by someone who understands the complexities of mold growth.

Who Is A Mold Expert?

Mold remediation services are handled by professionals who are designated as mold experts. These experienced individuals have seen the worst mold cases and been able to tackle the issue and eliminate the harmful substance from homes and businesses alike. While the field continues to be largely unregulated, finding a professional with expertise and decades of experience is a surefire way to find the right person to handle even the most difficult mold remediation jobs. In fact, there is no separation between an individual who diagnoses the mold problem and the individual who then fixes it. However, home inspectors, who usually inspect your home before purchase are not experienced or trained in looking for mold. As a result, whether you are buying a brand new home or have just undergone some sort of water damage, it is imperative that you seek out a professional mold remediation service to conduct a mold inspection and determine whether or not your home has been infested with dangerous mold.

What To Look For In A Mold Remediation Professional

Whenever you are seeking out the services of a mold remediation specialist it is important that they can provide you with specific things such as:

  • The completion of industry-approved coursework in Mold Investigation given by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene or the American Council For Accredited Certification
  • Provide you with a written report outlining the air and surface samples as well as lab reports
  • Working independently of a mold remediation outfit
  • Refraining from selling you unnecessary products

Investigating The Mold

For the most part, a mold remediation investigation begins with a cursory glance at the situation. From there, a mold expert will be able to determine if the mold is in plain sight or behind walls. Depending on the severity and complexity the investigation could last anywhere from twenty minutes to two hours. Afterward, the mold expert may choose to conduct tests by taking air and surface samples as necessary. Typically, this is completed to determine the type of mold within the home or office for health or legal purposes. It is important that every homeowner or building owner ask the mold expert why they are taking air and surface samples. A quality mold expert will be able to clearly communicate the reasons for the samples and inform you of his hypothesis on the situation at hand.

Making A Mold Removal Plan

Mold experts are experienced in tackling some of the most difficult mold issues in homes and offices alike. It is necessary for a mold expert to articulate the plan of action to eliminate whatever hazardous mold may be harming your home or office. If cleanup is something that is simple and homeowners can do themselves, a mold expert will be able to articulately communicate the necessary procedures, protective equipment, and tools necessary to eliminate the mold. However, if cleanup is not for an amateur and actually requires a legitimate expert to eliminate the hazardous mold, a mold expert will be able to come up with a thorough mold remediation and removal plan. Oftentimes, cleanup can be very simple and require some spraying and disinfecting of the drywall. Other times, the infestation is so severe that cleanup is a much more complicated chore that can include HVAC disinfection, drywall, stud or insulation removal, cleaning of personal belongings, and HEPA filtration, just to name a few.

Choosing A Top-Notch Mold Remediation Expert

While a tiny bit of mold on the windowsill should not be a cause for alarm, finding mold all over ceilings or walls requires the expert eye of a professional who thoroughly understands how to tackle a large mold infestation problem efficiently. Besides finding an insured and bonded mold remediation company for any large mold situation, it is important to get some references as well to find the best company in your area. In fact, asking friends and family members about possible mold remediation services they have used in the past is a great way to find a quality mold remediation and removal company with exceptional service and quality results. Mold removal should always be about just that removing mold- and nothing else.

The Bottom Line
