Mold & Mildew Remediation

Molds are microscopic fungi found in virtually every indoor and outdoor environment. Some molds have been associated with allergic reactions, asthma and other health problems. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that all uncontrolled mold growth in a home (or office) be removed, and its causes addressed to prevent re-occurrence.

Since molds need moisture to survive, the presence of mold in your home is an indicator of a moisture problem. Fixing the moisture problem is the key to controlling mold growth. Water problems may have obvious causes like flooding or large leaks, or less obvious causes like small persistent leaks and drips. Excessive humidity originating in damp basements and improperly ventilated bathrooms, laundry and cooking areas also create conditions for mold growth. Air Conditioning systems have been a cause of MOLD or MILDEW due to; Improper Sizing, Short Cycling, Air Handler Units leaking or abnormally "sweating" and/or outside conditions that influence the efficiency of removing moisture in your home or place of business. To control the growth and spread of mold, homeowners and property owners should 1. Identify the problem, 2. eliminate and correct the water or moisture infiltration and 3. control humidity through proper physical or mechanical means.
