What Do Mold Removal Companies Do?

If you own your own home or your own business, you probably take a fair amount of pride in its appearance. For most people, this means keeping everything clean and fresh, as it creates a more hospitable, and relaxing environment. While you can navigate most cleaning tasks on your own with the help of a vacuum cleaner, mop, or cleaning solution, certain issues of cleanliness warrant professional help. One such problem can be mold infestation. For many property owners, the discovery of a mold problem can be a bit of a nightmare. The reason for this is that mold can be tough to get rid of on your own, depending on where it is and the severity of its spread. Another aspect of a pervasive mold problem that can cause concern is the health risks it can pose. The inhalation of mold particles can cause respiratory problems, so you owe it to yourself, your family, or your employees to ensure that there is no mold impacting your HVAC system. With all of that said you may be wondering exactly what mold removal companies can do for you.

Most people know mold when they see it. The traditional representation of mold is a fuzzy green fungus that can take root in smooth or porous surfaces. That perception is not far off from reality, but mold can also come in an assortment of different colors, including white, black, orange, or blue. Mold is also not always readily apparent to the naked eye–and that can be a major problem. When mold has taken up residence behind walls or in attics or underneath flooring, professional help will be vital. When you cannot see mold, you can usually smell its musty presence, and if you suspect you have mold, you should contact a service like ours at Scope Environmental as soon as possible. Read on to learn more.

SHOPPING FOR MOLD REMOVAL COMPANIES

Mold can be a universal problem in that it can sprout just about anywhere that has exposure to excessive water or moisture, both inside and outdoors. When a mold removal company enters your property, they will first make a thorough diagnosis of the mold problem before devising a strategy to eradicate it. In some cases, it can be sprayed with a biocide to kill it on the surface. If it has taken a deeper root, flooring and drywall may need to be removed to completely get rid of it. There are also special types of paint that can be applied on top of mold as a means to encapsulate it. The method used will ultimately be subjective to your mold problem, but at Scope Environmental, we will solve that problem and make it appear as though we were never even there.

Mold Remediation Company on How to Prevent Mold

Are you worried that recent rains have led to mold in your home? Are you looking for ways to keep mold from building up on your property? Here at Scope Environmental, our mold remediation company has found and gotten rid of mold that has caused homeowners so many problems. That said, it’s always preferable to prevent mold. Below are some ways you can do exactly that.

However, sometimes, mold still sneaks in. Should it do so, our mold testing and remediation service can help.

FIX THE LEAKS BEFORE THE RAINS COME
Many don’t really think about mold until after a storm. Southern California, for its well-deserved reputation as a sun-drenched paradise, does tend to get plenty of rain, particularly during the winter months. During this time of year, our mold remediation professionals are often quite busy.

To help keep mold out, we recommend that, long before there’s any kind of storm, make sure to do everything you can to find and fix any potential leaks in your roof. Don’t just look at your roof, though: check your walls and plumbing as well. The more you can do to keep mold out, the better.

KEEPING OUT MOISTURE CAN KEEP OUT MOLD
The above having been said, “keeping mold out” is often about “keeping moisture out.” One great way to do exactly that: as soon your carpets or upholstery become soaked, remove them. Drying them as quickly as possible can work wonders. If they can’t be dried, replace them.

By that same token, you may want to consider just not using carpeting in the areas of your home that may potentially have the most moisture. Your bathrooms, your basements, and so forth -if you think there’s going to be moisture there, think about not using carpet there.

UTILIZE HUMIDITY AND AIRFLOW
Many don’t realize that maintaining the right level of humidity can help keep mold away as well. For the most part, studies recommend keeping humidity in your levels low. How low? Well, no higher than 50% for the entire day. You can do this that much easier through the careful use of a dehumidifier.

Another way to help keep mold at bay: making sure your air flows through your home without impediment. That means having your clothes dryer as well as the exhaust fans in your bathroom and kitchen vent outside of your property.

A MOLD REMEDIATION COMPANY THAT CAN HELP TODAY
One of the more frustrating aspects of mold is that you can do everything “right,” you can go through all of the best practices, yet mold can still wreak havoc on your property. That’s where we can help. Here at Scope Environmental, we have many, many years of experience in remediating mold. Our mold remediation can get rid of the mold, yes, but it can also restore your property as well.

We know that mold doesn’t exactly keep a 9 to 5 schedule, so we don’t, either. We’re here 24/7. To see how we can help, message us through our site or call.

How Our Mold Removal Can Help After the Storm

Are you concerned that there’s mold in your home right now? With these recent storms, does it feel like you and yours inside your home are feeling a bit under the weather? That’s just one of the ways that mold can cause harm. There are many others. Here at Scope Environmental, our mold testing and mold removal services can take care of the mold on your property so that you don’t have to worry about it, not today or moving forward.

FINDING THE SOURCE AND ELIMINATING IT
 
Mold cannot be allowed to fester in your property. Toxic mold is exactly that: toxic. We provide state-of-the-art mold testing services so that you can know definitively if there is mold on your property. Our detection services, to use a phrase, “leave no stone unturned.”

That means we can test all throughout your property, including the areas that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Unfortunately, mold often grows inside walls, under flooring, and in other places that are not easily accessed. We have a proven track record of finding the mold, no matter how small or how remote, that may be plaguing our clients.

KEEPING YOU AND YOURS HEALTHIER

Of course, it’s one thing to find the mold. It’s something else to remove it, to restore your property to what it was before the mold took hold. That’s where our mold remediation services come in. We know how to remove the mold as well.

Typically, that starts with removing the sources of moisture. Mold, unfortunately, does not take long to grow. It can begin to make its presence known in as little as 48 or even 24 hours. That’s just one more reason that, if you have even the slightest suspicion that mold may be present on your property, it’s worth it to reach out to the experts.
