Raleigh, NC Mold Damage Remediation

With a land area of more than 142 square miles, Raleigh is home to more than just commercial buildings and residential areas. The natural landscapes of Wake County can attribute to conditions like flooding and moisture concerns that leave structures vulnerable to mold and microbial development. We can help with:

  • Mold removal techniques
  • Attic mold removal
  • Water/moisture management
  • Antimicrobial cleaning
  • Mold inspections

How Can Containment Help the Mold Removal Process? 

To successfully implement remediation practices, containment is vital. Physical barriers can prevent spore circulation, which is especially crucial for Raleigh businesses to keep operating in a limited capacity while mold removal gets underway.

Remediating Mold Growth in Raleigh Structures

There are several options for remediation and restoration of mold damage in a home or business. Mold removal strategies vary considerably based on the damage to the property and the affected materials. Surface cleaning is a common starting point for light mold damage with antimicrobial cleaners and biocides. More aggressive measures also exist for more threatening conditions. 

Removing Mold Malodors from Raleigh Homes

Mold can impact homes in many ways, and one of the most widespread and overwhelming of these is the musty odor that microbial colonies can leave behind. Deodorization practices can neutralize open-air concerns in the environment but products like odor-sealing primers work to contain trapped malodors on surfaces to be repainted.

Understanding Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. 
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return. 
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:

Step 1: Emergency Contact - (919) 250-0455

The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel.

Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view. We use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.

Step 3: Mold Containment

To keep the mold spores from spreading further, we will use various mold containment procedures. Our professionals may use physical barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the contaminated area and to help prevent the mold spores from spreading through your Raleigh, NC home or business. Also, we’ll turn off the property’s fans and heating and cooling systems to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process. 

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. We’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. It may be necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to remediate heavy mold growth.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

We clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by mold, using a variety of cleaning techniques to clean and disinfect your belongings. We’re also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

During the remediation process, it’s often necessary to remove porous building materials like subfloors, drywall, and carpet. The restoration step returns your Raleigh, NC home or business back to normal. Depending on the severity of mold damage, the restoration step may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, or it may involve a substantial reconstruction project.
