Mold Removal

If Your Home Was in a Flood, Your Next Worry Is Mold

If your property has sustained major flood damage, once the initial repairs are complete, you may not be out of the woods just yet. That’s because mold can form in areas that have taken on water – and if not treated, mold can and will spread to other areas. That’s why it’s important to seek expert mold remediation & inspection directly following a flood. At Restoration 1, we have the tools and training to take on a mold issue, no matter the extent. Our technicians can remove all traces of mold, and get your property back to a safe and habitable state.

Importance of Mold Remediation

Calling in the experts at the first sign of mold is important. There’s a few reasons for that. First, if unattended, mold that spreads to other areas will make the cleanup process more difficult. Also, you’ll want to make your home or office a safe environment again, so you can resume your daily life without worry. Since mold can potentially cause a number of health issues, you definitely want trained professionals to handle the situation.

Causes & Risks of Mold

Mold grows in areas lacking proper ventilation, in areas of high moisture, or where there’s excessive humidity. Having professional mold remediation & inspection performed right away protects you from symptoms such as:

• Fever
  Rash
  Irritated or watery eyes
  Breathing problems
  Disease

What is Black Mold?

You may have heard of black mold, but aren’t sure exactly what it is. Black mold is similar to mildew, but with a raised appearance (while mildew is “flat”). Black mold spreads when spores travel through the air to other areas. If inhaled, these mold spores can cause serious health issues. You can spot black mold by its dark gray, black or green color.
