Mold Remediation
Water damage in your home or business, when not thoroughly dried and treated, can lead to an unwelcome secondary effect: mold and mildew. These fungi, unpleasant to look at and hazardous to human health, can cause significant property damage as well as respiratory problems and allergic reactions. Constant exposure to the high levels of mycotoxins produced by some molds put both humans and animals at risk and can lead to serious neurological issues.

Our mold and mildew remediation process:
- Assessment – Mold and mildew can be invasive, and infestations are common where dampness and moisture occur for any reason, including humidity. Our first step is to ascertain the extent of the contamination from mold and the potential for the infestation to spread to other parts of your home or business property. Once we locate the problem, we determine the best way to handle it.
- Inspection and testing – Our mold remediation professionals perform a thorough test for the presence of mold and to determine the contagion level. They target areas where humidity and dampness occur and look for signs of water damage. Our inspection includes moving furniture, checking HVAC and ventilation ducts, and looking for signs of water and mold in hidden areas such as behind walls, in carpeting and flooring, and inside bathroom and kitchen cabinets.
- Remediation – Once we determine the source of dampness or humidity, we eliminate it. We take whatever step is necessary to thoroughly clean, treat, and stop the growth of additional mold. Proper drying and ventilation are key, so we place fans and dehumidifiers to extract dampness and allow sunlight to permeate the affected area as much as possible. We use safe, EPA-approved products to kill mold and protect the atmosphere, while also eliminating associated odors and preventing further mold growth.
- Property treatment and restoration – When possible, we clean and treat your property and furnishings for mold damage, including carpets and pressure washing. Occasionally the damage from old is extensive, which means belongings and materials cannot always be salvaged. In those cases, we remove and properly dispose of those items.
Mold is pervasive in nature and thrives where there is water, dampness, and moisture. A leaky roof, broken appliance, burst pipe or improper ventilation can all be sources of water damage and humidity that lead to contamination from mold. Mold cleaning products exist on the market for the do-it-yourselfer, but the team at All Flood & Fire knows that mold and mildew is not always visible to the naked eye, and therefore always recommends professional remediation to ensure the entire infestation is located and properly treated.
