Mold Remediation and Removal Services

Stachybotrys Chartarum, also known as black mold, is a fungal growth that spreads throughout warm, humid and damp areas via toxic spores that can cause damage to items in a home or business. Mold remediation is required when mold growth is extensive or if it is causing health problems.

Signs that you may need mold remediation include visible mold growth, musty smells, water damage, or if you’re experiencing allergies, asthma, headaches, or respiratory problems.

Black mold can eat away at porous surfaces; it can even infiltrate load-bearing beams and supports to cause structural damage to a building. Even worse, without effective mold abatement, black mold can cause serious health problems, including respiratory issues, skin inflammation, and more.

Whether or not you can stay in your home during mold remediation depends on the extent of the mold problem and the type of mold remediation that will be used. In general, it is best to leave your home during mold remediation, especially if the mold problem is extensive or if you have any health concerns.

Whether or not your home insurance covers mold remediation depends on the cause of the mold and the terms of your policy. Some policies may cover mold remediation if it is caused by a covered peril, such as a burst pipe or a flood. Other policies may not cover mold remediation at all.
