Mold Removal Sarasota | Best Mold Remediation Services in the City!

Chances are if you’re reading this article, you do. Mold grows in dark places and you can’t always spot it yourself. 

My house is pretty clean, are you sure?

Mold doesn’t only grow in “dirty” homes. With the right combination of already-mentioned factors, a mold infestation can occur in any home, regardless if it’s clean or not. 

In case you already see signs of mold, you should hire a professional anyways. You may not see it all and it also may be the case that the mold has grown at multiple locations in your house. 

Mold grows in moisture-rich places, most commonly in the bathroom and kitchen. Attic and basement mold are also quite common in many households. 

Mold growth occurs in places with high humidity. Therefore, the reason for your mold problem may be a single event like a plumbing leak, water damage caused by a flood, or similar. 

Mold can also be caused by consistent high humidity and warm temperature in a home. Note that mold spores are everywhere and they’ll grow into mold whenever the conditions mentioned above are met – conditions that are almost always present in Sarasota County and all of Florida. 

Exposure to mold can cause health issues. Depending on the levels of mold in your home, health problems it can cause range from less severe irritations of your nose or throat to more severe reactions in people allergic to mold or those who have asthma. 

Long-term exposure can also cause insomnia, anxiety, memory loss, and other major health issues. 

Once a year is a must, especially in Sarasota. You may also want to consider having us do it twice. We recommend performing it at the beginning and at the end of Florida’s “wet season”, which typically starts in May and lasts till October. 

There are two parts of the process. Firstly, we have to determine where the mold is located in your household. This involves a thorough inspection of your indoor environments, taking air quality samples, and performing air quality tests.

If the mold is located, then we have to perform a test to see exactly what type of mold we’re dealing with. This is also known as “mold testing”. Most people think testing and inspection are the same but in reality, they are two different processes. After this, mold remediation will be performed.

What equipment will you use?

We will be using various equipment like infrared cameras, VOC testing tools, and others. 

Will my house get messy during an inspection?

No, not at all! We have special cameras that will help detect the exact location of the mold without messing up your place.

It depends on the size of the mold problem. If you have got everyday mold, you can remove it yourself with soap, water, or bleach if it’s a more stubborn type. 

However, if you have areas of multiple square feet covered with mold, you shouldn’t try removing it all by yourself. Without the proper equipment, you may be seriously risking your health.

Once again, it depends. Insurers won’t pay for mold removal, mold remediation, mold inspection, mold testing, and related costs if the mold problem could have been prevented. 

However, if the problem was caused by a “covered peril” like f.e. a flood or severe storm, the insurers will pay for it.

It definitely can if the moisture source hasn’t been properly detected and removed. Our mold removal experts will make sure that doesn’t happen. 

Remember, mold spores are everywhere, all the time. However, they need moisture to grow into a problem.

By removing the moisture source, we will truly kill mold, leading to a successful mold remediation process.
