Discovering or having a reaction to mold in your indoor environment can be an unsettling experience. How do you cope with discolored walls, musty smells, or in some cases, uncontrollable allergy-like reactions? The answer is – you don’t have to. The experts at RestorePro are ready to handle your mold problem so you don’t have to.
First things first, don’t try to handle mold removal on your own. Doing so can make the problem worse and lead to increased remediation costs. Your best course of action is to call the experts who are equipped and certified to perform proper mold removal procedures.
The next important thing to remember is, don’t wait. When an indoor environment becomes wet and is left unattended for an extended amount of time (sometimes as little as 48 hours), mold growth can occur. The longer that materials and belongings remain wet, the bigger the mold problem becomes. Every minute that mold growth on building materials remains in a home or office, the risks to the occupants’ health and safety increase.
Here’s why: Mold spores are very tiny and lightweight, which allows them to become airborne and travel through the air very easily. Because the spores are so very small, they can overwhelm the human body’s natural defenses and leave the lungs and the respiratory system at risk of allergies, asthma, and infections. The most susceptible individuals to health risks include infants, children, the elderly, and immune-compromised individuals such as those undergoing chemotherapy or suffering from liver disease.
If you suspect that you have a mold problem or if you can SEE visible signs of mold growth in your home or business, call the experts at RestorePro. With hundreds of mold removal projects under our belts, as well as training from the country’s top certification schools, our mold removal professionals know all there is to know about how to completely and safely remove your mold problems.
Mold is not always evident, and even if you do see some mold, it’s possible that there is additional mold growth occurring behind walls, in ceilings, and under floors. At RestorePro, we offer professional mold and indoor air quality testing to identify exactly where the mold growth is happening. Simply removing the visible mold growth isn’t going to solve your problem, and we’ll make sure even the hidden mold is found and safely removed.
