The Importance of Hiring a Residential Mold Removal Company

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.

Mold Removal Mistakes to Avoid

  •  Removing mold is not a DIY project. You may have noticed that mold remediation is not easy. Opting to remove the mold on your own may make the situation worse. We have experienced situations where clients confess that they tried to eradicate the mold with the standard cleaning procedures, only to make the mold spread faster.
  •  Household products may not be strong enough. At Tampa Mold Pros, we have access to proven, we have access to proven antifungal products that are efficient in mold control. In addition to helping you mitigate the growth and spread of the mold, we offer you preventive measures against mold damage. The other common mistake is seen in the clearing of mildew. Unlike dry rot, clearing mildew requires you to remove the moisture on the surface that you are cleaning. 
  • You can spread mold by trying to wipe or vacuum it. The spores allow the mold to spread uncontrollably. If the fungi develop to become black mold, this is detrimental to your building and may be expensive to remove. Hiring a mold removal company allows you to control such mess. We come with efficient mold remediation tools to successfully dry the surface so as to prevent the spread of the spores. We apply negative pressure to isolate and remove the mold.

  • Failing to Protect Surrounding Areas. Many homeowners make the mistake of treating visible mold without addressing the underlying moisture issue. Mold will continue to grow unless the source of moisture (like leaks or humidity) is eliminated.Mold spores can easily spread during removal. If areas surrounding the affected space aren’t properly sealed off, mold can spread to other parts of the home, creating a larger problem.

Hiring Tampa Mold Removal assures you of the following benefits:

Expert Knowledge and Experience

Our team has extensive experience in identifying and eliminating mold, ensuring that all affected areas are treated properly. We know how to address the root cause of mold growth to prevent it from returning.

Maintain Safe Conditions During Mold Removal Process

Mold causes health concerns due to the toxins present in their spores. If you opt to scrape the mold off, you may release the spores to the air, and they may interfere with your respiratory system. We have the most advanced equipment and containment procedures for handling the mold. We ensure that the spores are not released into the air in the rest of the home so that you stay safe.

Reduction and Prevention of Mold Spread

During an improper cleanup process, the spores may escape into the air and spread throughout the house. This is common when untrained or unlicensed individuals attempt cleaning procedures. In fact, most DIY cleaners are known to leave behind the mold spores which may enter your HVAC system. The air conditioning and heating system provide suitable conditions for the growth of the mold. We use proper containment procedures, negative air pressure and we do a thorough cleaning with effective microbial solutions to limit the spread of the fungi.

Preventative Solutions

Beyond removal, we help you understand how to prevent future mold growth. From identifying moisture problems to offering tips for better ventilation, we provide long-term solutions to keep your property mold-free.

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.

 

10.Removing Equipment

Once the final air test passes, we take down the containment barriers and remove our equipment.
We leave your home ready for any repairs or remodeling. If you need help finding the right contractors to fix walls, floors, or remodel your kitchen or bathroom, we can recommend some great companies.

Frequently Asked Questions Mold

Which Mold is the Most Dangerous?

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.
