Mold is known to spread very fast around the home and commercial properties. The fungi are a reason for alarm since they are known to cause dire health concerns such as an asthma attack, dermatitis, and hay fever. In addition to the health issues, the mold may interfere with your drainage system. Your drainage pipes may block, and you may find it difficult to control leakages. A sewage leak may be very devastating to the occupants of your premise. Our company boasts of years of mold removal and water damage experience.
1. Identify the Source
We first find out where the water is getting in. Fixing this is crucial to stop future leaks and avoid more damage.
2. Check for Visible Water Damage
Our trained experts look for any visible mold growth. We know where to check, even in spots other mold removal companies in Tallahassee might miss.
3. Testing for Hidden Mold
We use advanced tools to detect mold that might be hiding behind walls or in the structure. If needed, we can take air samples with the help of a certified mold expert. Not all mold is the same, so we test to find out if it’s dangerous or just a nuisance.
4.Create a Safe Containment Area
To protect your family and the rest of your home from mold spores, we set up a containment area before starting any removal. The type of containment depends on the size of the mold-affected area:
– Source Containment: For small areas (less than 10 sq. ft.), we simply bag and remove the contaminated material.
– Local Containment: For medium-sized areas (10–100 sq. ft.), we seal off the affected room and clean it up.
– Full Containment: For larger areas, we create a temporary barrier to stop mold from spreading to other parts of your home.
5. Air Filtration
We use portable air filters to clean the air in your home. This keeps your family safe by preventing contaminated air from spreading to other areas.
6. Mold Removal
Behind our safety barriers, we remove materials affected by mold, like drywall, baseboards, or flooring. If the mold is due to a roof leak or leaking pipes, we may also remove ceilings, insulation, or bathroom fixtures. We carefully remove mold while trying to preserve as much as we can.
7. Mold Treatment.
Once the moldy materials are gone, we treat and clean the remaining surfaces using professional-grade products, following strict industry guidelines.
8. Air Purification.
After removal and treatment, we purify the air for several days to ensure it’s clean and safe.
9.Final Air Testing
After purification, we test the air again. A certified mold expert will ensure it meets safe standards.

All types of mold can cause allergic reactions, especially in newborns, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weak immune systems. However, some types, like aspergillus, can lead to serious long-term illnesses by infecting the lungs. Another dangerous type is black mold (stachybotrys chartarum), which should be removed immediately.
Black mold, or stachybotrys chartarum, is a toxic mold that can grow in homes. It releases harmful chemicals called mycotoxins, which can cause a wide range of health problems, including mental, respiratory, and skin issues, as well as fatigue and muscle pain. Keep in mind, not all mold that looks black is black mold.
Mold grows when the conditions are right – this means the temperature, humidity, and moisture levels have been ideal for it. Over time, mold becomes visible. For example, black mold takes 7-12 days to become noticeable.
The only way to know if mold in your home is dangerous is to have it tested by a professional. They can determine the type and level of contamination by measuring the gases released by the mold.
Mold can grow on almost any surface, whether it’s porous, semi-porous, or non-porous.
