Mold Remediation and Removal

Mold develops because of water. More than likely, any mold you have growing in your home or office is the result of water incursion. Attics, crawlspaces, wall interiors, and basements are all key candidates for water incursion. However, an excessive amount of humidity and condensation in a building can also cause mold.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) even advises that any moldy areas greater than 10 square feet (about 3 feet by 3 feet) be remediated by a contractor. If greater than 3x3 feet or if mold growth is heavily concentrated or near the HVAC system, mole should be contained to prevent dispersal.

Three Steps to Remediate Mold

• Identify and cut off the source of water.
• Eradicate the mold with a biocide.
• Encapsulate the mold
