Mold is a severe issue that homeowners across the US face today. Mold is a contaminant that enters a property and poses a serious threat to people living there. It can enter your house through doors, windows, HVAC systems and even grow in damp areas like washrooms and kitchens. It is a fast-growing pathogen and usually takes less than 72 hours to spread across a building.
If you suspect a mold infestation in your house, you need to act responsibly ASAP. Sitting on a spread of mold can be dangerous for your property, as well as a health threat to you and your family members. In case of a mold infestation, it is extremely crucial to reach out to mold removal and remediation services in your area as soon as possible.

Our professional technicians have designed a multi-step process to inspect and then remove mold growth from a property properly. Let’s get into the details of our process.
Step 1: Mold Inspection
Mold inspection is the first step of the process, being the most crucial and the most time consuming task. This helps technicians decide whether your house has a mold problem or not, and the level of damage it has caused so far.
There are 3 methods we use for inspection:
- Air Quality Sampling
In this test, our staff members take air samples from different parts of your house and compare them with a control sample of clean air to determine the level of contamination in your house.
- Surface Tests
In surface tests, we take samples from different hard surfaces of your house like walls, cupboards, and floors. We take these samples either using a cotton swab or a tepe lift – and take them to the lab for identifying spore presence.
- Petri Dish Test
This is the most accurate test to help in identifying the presence of mold, and getting a spore count of the mold infestation in your property.
Step 2: identifying the Source
Since mold is triggered by moisture and mainly grows in damp areas – commonly, a leaking pipe, a sink, or some corner in the washroom may become the source of mold growth in your house. Other than that, if it is entering from somewhere external our team tries to identify the source to stop mold growth from there.
Step 3: Mold Isolation and Containment
Once the source has been identified and fixed, we isolate the mold growth. Because mold takes very little time to spread from one place to another, it is essential to contain it in one place. Hence we advise closing doors and windows and any space from where mold will have access to the other parts of your house.
Step 4: Remediation – Planning and Implementing
Once the source has been identified and the growth has been isolated, it’s time for remediation. Our team makes a detailed action to remove mold from your property for remediation. Our plan includes everything from the steps we will take, to the equipment we need for the process. Once our plan is ready, we implement it to remove the mold spread from our client’s property.
