There can be many reasons you wish to make certain your home is as clean as possible and is free of mold. It could be that you wish the indoor air you breathe is as healthy as possible for your family or your employees. Or you might be in the process of selling your home or business; studies have shown that having mold present in a building is a huge turn-off for potential buyers. Whatever your situation, removing mold is a job best left to the trained mold removal professionals.

The First Step

If you have water damage or suspect you could have mold present, it’s a good idea to contact a company that is licensed and bonded, and that contains adequate insurance. From there, you should probably schedule an inspection and mold testing in Orange County of your home. Here are some things to be aware of when ordering a testing for mold:

• A typical inspection takes one to two hours
• Each inspection is unique depending on the property
• A lab analysis takes anywhere from a day or two to one week
• The inspection will provide a measurement of moisture present that can support mold growth
• Prices may vary due to the size of the home or office

If mold is present, a price and time estimate will be given for removing the mold. This is the normal procedure for mold inspection in Venice. 

The Cleanup Phase

Each mold removal and cleanup operation presents its own challenges. In nearly all cases, it will involve certified workers using state-of-the-art equipment to remove all excess moisture from the area, as well as eradicating the mold spores. Equipment such as industrial fans will likely be employed. If the damage is extensive, the company might need to remove flooring and walls and replace with clean materials. As a rule, if a building material such as drywall has been wet for longer than 24 to 72 hours, and/or if there is ANY mold present, it will have to be removed.

Mold in the home or office is a serious situation that demands the services of a professional. Call in the experts to improve the health of your property and the people who depend on you.
