What Is the Difference Between Mold Removal and Mold Remediation?

If you have mold in your home, you might be worried about finding the best way to take care of it. While the terms "mold removal" and "mold remediation" are sometimes used interchangeably, mold removal is just one step in the mold remediation process. Mold remediation not only removes existing mold but prevents mold from growing in the future, giving you peace of mind.

What Should I Know About Mold Remediation? 

Mold remediation is a thorough, effective process that not only removes mold but prevents new mold spores from growing.

  • First, the moldy area of your home is isolated so mold doesn't spread during the cleaning process.
  • Mold is then removed from the affected area. Removable materials will be discarded or cleaned, depending on the severity of the mold. Non-removable parts of your home will be scrubbed and sprayed to remove the mold.
  • The entire area is then disinfected and dried out to prevent the growth of new mold. 
  • Finally, anything removed from your home is replaced or repaired with new materials.

When Should I Hire a Professional?

So you think have a mold problem. When is it time to call a professional to help with mold remediation?

  • If you're having allergy symptoms and you suspect mold.
  • If you can see visible mold on your walls.
  • If you can smell mold. This can indicate mold is growing in your home even if you can't see it.
