What Is Mold Remediation?

February 10, 2020 by Kingsley LLC

Mold remover standing in front of moldy wallThough they are often used interchangeably, mold remediation and mold removal are not the same thing. Removal typically refers to the simple process of taking out and cleaning mold in affected areas. While it does solve the problem of having mold in your home, it does not prevent future growth or guarantee the safety of your home. Remediation, meanwhile, is a longer and more involved process that can have important benefits to your house and your family that should not be overlooked. This process not only removes the mold, it also helps mitigate regrowth.

Before remediation begins, the affected area must be contained to prevent mold spores from becoming airborne and spreading to other areas of the home. Proper ventilation and the use of air filtration devices is necessary as well. Next, the area can be cleaned and disinfected. Wet and mold-damaged items will need to be removed, while non-porous materials, the flooring, and the walls can be cleaned with a detergent and moldicide solution. A HEPA vacuum may be necessary in most cases.

When Do I Need Mold Remediation Services?

Mold remediation services may be necessary in several circumstances. If you have a large area of visible mold in your home, remediation will get rid of it and prevent it from growing back. Not all mold may be easily seen, however. Changes in the air quality, a musty smell, unexplained respiratory illness, and property deterioration may all be signs that mold is growing in your home and needs to be remediated.

There are several causes of mold in the home. High levels of moisture, particularly during hot and humid weather, provide ideal conditions for mold development. Mold can also grow if your home has recently flooded and was not properly cleaned and dried afterwards. If you have experienced a burst pipe or flooding from a nearby water source, carefully monitor your home to identify and remediate mold related changes as quickly as possible.

Benefits of Mold Remediation

Remediating the mold issue returns your home to its original appearance, making it a more welcoming space for friends and family.

Mold can also damage your home’s structure. Because of the moisture mold retains and its ability to feed off insulation and other materials, mold can significantly weaken your home. This leaves it vulnerable to more extensive damage that will need to be repaired later. Timely mold remediation services can help you avoid expensive repairs and dangerous damage to your home.

In addition to home damages, mold can also have a negative impact on your health. Mold can make breathing more difficult for those with asthma and allergies, but it can also impact the health of those with no preexisting concerns by causing respiratory illnesses. If you have children or elderly loved ones in your home, mold remediation can help protect them from getting sick.

Finally, mold remediation is the best way to ensure that mold does not appear in your home again. Thanks to a thorough removal process, which includes drying and disinfecting the area, you can be sure that the mold will not return once it has been taken out of your home. This helps you worry less about the state of your home and also ensures that you won’t be spending more money for another round of mold removal later.

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.
