North Aurora Mold Removal

24 HOUR SERVICE - CALL US AT 1-800-222-6815

Do you have Mold? Is it toxic mold? Do you have water damage from a flooded basement which is causing moisture to buildup in your home or business? The moisture associated with water intrusions will promote the growth of toxic mold such as Stachybotrys, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium.

The longer an indoor contaminant is allowed to remain intact, the greater its potential impact on human health and on the structural integrity of the facility. Mold can grow on most common building materials if they remain wet for 24 to 48 hours. Special care must be taken during the mold removal and restoration process or serious health hazards can develop.

Our mold remediation technicians are fully trained and are proficient with the latest equipment, materials and techniques. We specialize in remediation of mold, bacteria, water and sewage damage cleanup in your facility.

You can reach us at 1-800 222-6815 if you are having any water, sewage, smoke damage, or mold problems!

Is Mold Remediation Really the Answer?

You finished a day’s work of removing molds from your kitchen (or so you thought). But after a few weeks you notice that they are back, and this time there are even more of them and you wonder why your mold remediation did not work. Sound familiar?

Mold invasion

Molds are everywhere and are a common occurrence plaguing people living from east coast to west coast. Mold remediation is the process of cleaning an area free from molds to prevent human exposure and negative impact on the home.

If you see molds returning to the kitchen walls yet again for the hundredth time, you might also be tempted to grab the scrub and attempt to do mold remediation (for the hundredth time). Hold back and check the other side of the wall if you can. You may find out that while the side facing the kitchen is clean, the other side is host to a thriving community of the pesky spores.

It is easy to spot the obvious places in the house where mold growth is possible; mostly near wet and damp areas. However, do not limit your examination to visibly moisture rich areas. Behind your walls may be leaky plumbing, and up on top might be a small hole in the roof. This will create an environment susceptible to mold formation.

Typical costs

Mold remediation on a wall either made of gypsum or wood can typically cost around $2000– not an inexpensive operation but certainly affordable. But what started out as an affordable expense can quickly escalate to an expensive procedure if you find out that not one wall, but majority of your household is infected with molds.

You could decide to perform mold remediation yourself sparing your pocket the expense. But without the proper equipment and know-how, your mold removal strategy might be ineffective and a waste of time. There are numerous tips and guides on do-it-yourself mold remediation, but beware, mold remediation is not always the answer to a household’s mold infestation problems.

Think of replacing

In general, if an item is covered with molds by more than 50%, you really should consider replacing it. Molds are very hard to get rid of and even if you failed to kill just one spore, that spore will rapidly gain ground and before you know it, you’re back where you started. Hence, if majority of a wall is swathed in molds, it is better to have it replaced with a new one. Same goes with ceilings, kitchen sinks, and tiles.

Carpets, table cloths, and other porous materials tend to be the most difficult to clean and have the highest likelihood of being replaced. On the other hand, plastic surfaces and metals are among the easiest to clean, and so, rarely need replacement.

So how do you know when mold remediation is not the answer anymore? In the end, all it really matters is cost: weigh the cost of mold remediation versus the cost of replacing the moldy item. Be practical and chose the one which is cheaper. If both costs are more or less the same, maybe replacing the old fixture with a new one is the happier and more exciting way to go.
