mold remediation

Professional mold remediation has many benefits. The biggest and most obvious benefit is peace of mind. When you let our team of professionals take care of your mold problem, you can have confidence knowing it was done correctly and that the conditions that allowed the mold to grow in the first place have been mitigated, preventing a recurrence. 

Improper handling of mold can disturb mold spores, sending them airborne and allowing them to travel throughout your property. If you are sensitive to mold or have underlying health conditions, inhaling mold spores may trigger symptoms such as sneezing or coughing or more severe allergic reactions. 

Proper mold remediation is a multi-step process. The bigger the mold problem, the longer it will take to remove and remediate. 

At True North Restoration of Northwest Atlanta, our mold remediation process includes:

1. Mold Assessment: We’ll identify where it’s growing, what is causing it, and what it will take to property remediate it.
2. Mold Containment: Before work begins to remove the mold, we’ll set up containment barriers in affected areas to limit the spread of mold to other areas of your property. 
3. Mold Removal: This may involve sanding or demolition of affected building materials. Hard surfaces will be cleaned, porous materials will be removed, and airborne particles will be captured by HEPA vacuuming and air quality filtration devices.
4. Water Damage Mitigation: Mold requires moisture to grow, so water damage often accompanies mold growth. We’ll dry the area and take preventative measures to prevent recurrence. 
5. Clean and Disinfect: After mold removal is complete, we’ll make sure the area is clean and surfaces are treated and disinfected.
   

The terms mold removal and mold remediation are often used interchangeably but technically have different meanings. It’s important to understand the distinction between the two terms when working with a mold contractor to ensure the best results. 

• Mold Removal: Mold removal is the process of physically removing mold from surfaces. It is a part of the mold remediation process and may be effective for small areas with minor, localized mold growth. 

• Mold Remediation: Mold remediation is a more comprehensive approach that includes locating and fixing the moisture problem that contributed to the mold growth and taking measures to prevent recurring mold growth. Mold removal is included as part of the mold remediation process.
