Removal vs. Remediation vs. Restoration
Many people aren’t familiar with the different protocols involved with getting rid of mold, which is why we thought we should break it down for you so that you have a better understanding of it. There are primarily two different methods of dealing with mold, and both of them are of equal importance. Firstly, mold removal is the physical removal of the mold that you can see on your walls for example. However, mold remediation has the purpose of returning the levels of mold in your home back to normal. So if you would like to find out more about either process, then contact us.
Understanding Mold
What usually happens is that people see mold in their homes and immediately think that they did something wrong if mold is visible. However, it is worth mentioning that mold is present everywhere and the spores that exist are in the air. Normal mold levels are not a problem, as it is something that everyone has to deal with whether it be indoors or outdoors. Mold spores are invisible to the naked eye, but just because you can't see them, doesn't make it not real. So as you can see, normal mold levels are okay to live with, but once it becomes visible, the problem needs to be addressed.
Removal
When it comes to mold, there are a few different steps to complete before your environment can return back to normal. The first step seems pretty obvious because the first thing that should be done would be to physically remove the mold so that it is no longer visible in whichever area it was found in. Removing the mold is a good thing because once the visual evidence is gone we can focus on the next steps towards your home becoming a safe and healthy place to be. The process is a long one, but you will be happy that you went through the whole process once we are complete.
Remediation
As we have stated before, the two processes involved with getting rid of mold are both important, because they really go hand-in-hand. The process of remediation is by no means the first step towards a healthy environment because before remediation can take place, the moisture issue that has to lead to the mold in the first place needs to be addressed so that the solution can be an effective one. Without addressing the initial cause of the issue, the mold will simply just return again. This is why making use of our professional services is so important, because we understand the steps that need to be taken.
Restoration
So to break it down for the sake of understanding, once removal and remediation have taken place, what is the next step in ensuring that the process has been completed? All that is left to do now is restoration. The end result when dealing with mold is always to have your environment returned back to how it was before the mold problem, which is why restoration is a step towards getting your home back to a healthy environment. So as you can see, we have the whole process locked down and can assist you with all of your mold-related needs.
