Home / Mold Remediation

a Columbia, SC mold remediation contractor containing and removing moldMold found in your home can jeopardize your health and property. At Kingsley LLC, we understand the hazards that mold can present and provide comprehensive mold remediation services to quickly remove it. Whether you are buying or selling a home, or have discovered mold in your home unexpectedly, it is important to act quickly to limit exposure to hazardous mold spores and minimize damage to your home.

Causes Of Mold In The Home

Mold can develop in homes for a wide range of reasons. The Columbia area is hot and humid, which causes high levels of moisture – the perfect environment for mold to thrive. However, other conditions must also be met before mold will grow in a home. In addition to spores, mold needs warmth, oxygen, and a food source like drywall, wood, or cotton. If the conditions are right, mold can start to grow in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

It is not always easy to spot mold right away. Mold can grow undetected in small cracks and crevices, such as in the grout between ceramic tiles. It is most common in rooms of the home where there is a lot of moisture, such as a bathroom, kitchen, or basement. It can also develop under window air conditioner units, in ductwork, around chimneys, inside walls and crawl spaces, and near foundation air vents.

Just because you do not see mold does not mean it is not there. Other signs that could indicate the presence of mold in your home include a musty odor, property deterioration, and unexplained respiratory illnesses.

The Mold Remediation Process

Before getting started, it is important to isolate the contaminated area to prevent mold spores from going airborne and spreading to other areas of the home. Proper ventilation is also required during mold remediation. Air filtration devices, such as air scrubbers, can help keep spores within the contaminated area.

Next, the affected area will need to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. This involves removing any infected materials and applying a biocide, fungicide, or moldicide solution to the affected materials. Any wet or mold-damaged porous materials should be discarded in plastic bags tied closed. Wood or non-porous materials must be cleaned with a detergent solution. For more severe mold infestations, a HEPA vacuum may be needed to clean surfaces.

Finally, you will need to address the underlying source of the mold to prevent future mold growth. The source of the mold may be a hidden leaking pipe, rain seeping in due to a damaged roof, gaps around windows or doors, or foundation flooding. Improperly installed flashing, ice damming problems, missing insulation, and similar issues can all contribute to mold in the home.

Kingsley really helped us in our time of need. Our house flooded from our upstairs bathroom, water was everywhere. They came the same day I called and immediately started removing carpet and setting up machines. They charged nothing upfront and worked payment out with our insurance company. That alone is worth a 5 star review. We very pleased with the time and care they took with us and our home.

Mike is the best person I met during my water leak problem. Long to short: if you are lucky to hire Mike (if his schedule is free), you will have amazing service. He works with you and your insurance. Most of well known firms try to charge double of Mike's estimate and try to take advantage of YOUR insurance.I am so happy that Mike handled my problem. Thanks and God bless you!

Mike Kingsley and company are the BEST hands down! Mike was responsive and prompt in addressing my issues and concerns. Kingsley was able to remove all the mold and demo everything from under the house where the mold was and then dry everything to prevent any further damage from the water. Kingsley and his team were very professional and considered of all that I had going on. Mike spoke with the insurance company and followed up with all they needed as well as what I needed. I would definitely give them the highest recommendation possible.
