If you need mold removed from your Florida property, call us today at (941) 416-4113. We’re open 24/7.
Mold removal, also called mold remediation or abatement, is the process used to eliminate mold and the moisture that feeds it. Common places people find mold include bathrooms, kitchens, attics, crawl spaces, floor boards, and anywhere a leak is present. If mold isn’t taken care of right away, it can damage drywall, wood, and insulation, and it can affect your health. If you have a mold problem, call The Mold Guys and we’ll help you take back your home or business.
It can be, especially for some people. Mold can release compounds into the air that may lead to sinus problems, difficulty breathing, and fatigue. It can also make existing respiratory conditions worse, like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. You may hear the term “toxic black mold,” but any mold growing indoors should be treated properly and removed.
A small spot on tile is usually something a homeowner can clean. Anything larger, mold that keeps coming back, or mold inside walls, attics, or HVAC systems needs a professional mold remediation company like The Mold Guys to remove it properly and keep it from growing back.
The first step in taking care of your mold problem is to contact The Mold Guys, Florida’s mold remediation specialists, to schedule your on-site consultation and damage evaluation. Our team has been serving Florida for over 25 years and is certified by the IIAQC and IICRC.
During this appointment, one of our certified mold remediation technicians will walk the affected area with you, check it thoroughly, and determine the scope of the project so we can give you a fair bid.
Our technicians use various technologies to find hidden water sources and mold, so nothing gets missed. If testing would help, we’ll explain why before any work begins.
Once you’ve approved the scope of work, we start containing and removing the mold. The Mold Guys use advanced containment procedures to keep mold from spreading. These may include negative air chambers and negative air pressure during the cleanup. We also treat the area with the appropriate products to clean and sanitize it.
Depending on where the mold is located, some fans and your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system may need to stay off until the cleaning is complete. Your specialist will let you know when they arrive.
Mold removal disturbs spores, and those spores end up in the air you breathe. Step three makes sure they’re captured.
During and after the cleanup, specialized air filtration equipment removes microscopic mold spores that remain in the air. Our technicians use HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers to capture spores and dust from surfaces and the air, so your home or business is back to its normal self when we’re done.
Some surfaces can be cleaned with professional cleaners and antifungal treatments. Others, like soaked drywall, insulation, and carpeting, need to be removed entirely. Your specialist will explain this during Step One and keep you informed as the work goes on.
Every job is different. The amount of mold and the surfaces affected decide the steps our technicians take. For example, mold-infested carpeting must be removed and disposed of properly, and antimicrobial treatments may be needed to keep new mold colonies from forming.
We’ll also show you the leak or humidity problem that caused the mold. When that gets fixed, the mold has much less chance of coming back.
Our IICRC certified team at The Mold Guys has provided mold remediation and water damage restoration across Florida for over 25 years. We use containment, HEPA air filtration, and moisture detection equipment to make sure your property is clean, safe, and healthy.
