mold remediation

You need mold remediation services any time you notice a mold growth problem inside your home or business. Mold spores can cause serious health issues, especially for anyone with immune or respiratory issues.



Mold growth is also a red flag for a larger underlying issue. Because mold needs moisture to grow, mold damage is often accompanied by hidden water damage or excessive humidity. A team of mold experts can help you confirm mold’s presence and take steps to resolve your property’s mold and water damage problems.

Mold remediation refers to the process of containing, treating, and removing mold from your home or business. At True North Restoration of Myrtle Beach, our mold remediation process is designed to address both mold growth and underlying water damage concerns.

• Mold Assessment: We evaluate the extent of mold growth and investigate any signs of leaks or water intrusion that may have caused the issue.
• Containment: Once we identify the mold-affected areas, we contain them to stop mold spores from spreading further. We do this using negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, and plastic sheeting.
• Mold Removal: We remove unsalvageable porous items. Then we clean, vacuum with HEPA filters, or sand hard surfaces.
• Drying: We thoroughly dry the area to prevent future mold growth. We use fans, dehumidifiers, and other equipment to ensure the area is completely dry.
• Cleaning & Disinfecting: We clean and disinfect the remaining surfaces to eliminate lingering spores and reduce the odds of mold returning.
  

Mold removal and mold remediation are often terms used interchangeably, but there is a difference between the two processes. 

Mold Removal:

• Objective: Focuses on physically removing visible mold from surfaces.
• Process: Includes removing contaminated materials and treating hard surfaces where mold spores are present.
• Scope: Mold removal has a narrower scope than remediation. It focuses on eliminating visible mold. 
• Limitation: May not include addressing the underlying issue leading to mold growth. Mold is likely to return if the cause isn’t addressed.
• Suitability: Best mold problems in small areas with minimal contamination.

Mold Remediation:

• Objective: Both removes mold and treats the underlying cause, aiming for a permanent solution.
• Process: Includes mold assessment, containment, mold removal, disinfecting, and resolving the source of moisture.
• Scope: Broader. Includes containment, air filtration, cleaning, and moisture control to prevent recurrence.
• Suitability: Recommended for larger mold issues or properties with chronic moisture problems. More effective in preventing mold from returning.
