WHAT DO WE MEAN BY MOLD REMEDIATION?

7/9/2019 (Permalink)

Mold remediation ensures that mold doesn't cause serious damage.

Mold can be found in many homes and businesses, creating the need for remediation and cleaning that is specific to this type of issue. Many kinds of mold are mostly harmless, causing few problems, unless someone in the home or business suffers from allergies or sinus issues. In that case, mold becomes a major issue, requiring complete removal, or as complete as is possible. This type of removal is officially known as mold remediation. 

If you detect that telltale, musty odor in your home or business, call a professional right away to assess your situation and advise you on the best course of action. It may be that there is some discoloration on a wall or baseboard that looks like an old stain. If no one is complaining about respiratory issues or illnesses, it can be tempting to ignore it. Don’t. It takes the expertise of a mold remediation specialist to tell if the mold is dangerous or not. Call SERVPRO of Belle Meade / West Nashville.

Since microscopic mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy. A qualified restoration company understands the science behind mold and mold growth. SERVPRO Franchise Professionals have the training and expertise to remediate the mold in your home or business. Mold remediation focuses on getting mold levels back to normal, natural levels.

The word remediation is used to describe the act of remedying or reversing something, usually resulting in stopping environmental damage. The terms “mold abatement”, “mold removal”, and “mold remediation” are often used interchangeably, but they actually don’t mean quite the same thing.
