Dealing with the aftermath of a flood can be just as challenging as surviving the actual event. The excess moisture brought by floodwaters often leads to the growth of mold and fungi in affected households. This is where the need for a mold remediation company becomes apparent.
Molds typically have a cotton-like or furry appearance and come in various colors such as gray, white, and different shades of green. They pose a significant health risk to children, the elderly, and pets, triggering allergies and asthma and sometimes causing breathing difficulties. Since some types of mold are poisonous, experts advise against attempting to remove them yourself as they spread quickly and may cause structural damage to your home.
Several companies offer remediation as a service, but choosing a reliable one can be challenging. Here are some essential factors to consider when it becomes apparent that you’ll need professionals to help you get rid of Mold:
Look for a company that offers remediation services as part of their water damage restoration package. Some companies may claim to provide comprehensive water damage clean-up but intentionally fail to say anything about remediation or removal of mold. In such cases, you can either call them to be sure or you can skip to the next service providers. If you decide to call, ensure it’s included in the contract..
Ensure that the company you choose is registered and licensed. It’s not enough for them to claim to have many years of experience; check the company's background by browsing their website, reviewing their services, and reading customer testimonials to get a sense of their efficiency.
Choose a company that provides dehumidification services after the removal of mold, as this process eliminates excess moisture and helps prevent future mold infestations.
If you’ve done your vetting right, you’ll end up with us, or a company like ours. A company that will conduct visual and physical inspections, assess air quality, provide a detailed list of mold present in your home and the associated health risks, and propose procedures for removing the organisms.
Interview at least three remediation companies, compare their services and prices, and make an informed decision based on efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
