Mold Removal and Remediation
Mold sneaks up on you when you least expect it. It thrives in moist environments, including around plumbing fixtures or areas with excess water. Mold can make you sick, so you need to eliminate it as soon as you notice it for the sake of your entire household.
Mold can grow anywhere, even on roofing. Let All About Roofing help with mold removal and remediation in San Jose and Orange, CA, so you can feel secure in your home again and enjoy the peace of mind you deserve.
The Trouble With Mold
Significant mold growth can occur in just a few days, giving you short notice to deal with it. If mold grows in areas you can’t see, it can quickly develop into a large, dangerous problem. Mold may sometimes look like simple discoloration, but it can cause significant health issues and property damage that costs thousands of dollars to treat and repair.
Health Hazards
Possible symptoms of a mold infestation include the following:
- Coughing and wheezing
- Respiratory infections and allergies
- Asthma
- Worsened symptoms in people with certain preexisting conditions
- Infections
You may not realize you have mold since these common symptoms could result from several other illnesses or environmental factors.
Property Damage
Since mold thrives on moisture, it can quickly turn water damage into mold damage. Mold can destroy wood, drywall, paint, floors, and nearly every surface it grows on. Mold abatement is necessary to gain control over the situation.
If mold has severely affected your roof, you may need to replace some or all of it. Our team will assess the state of your roof and determine the necessary steps to protect the home it covers.
The Mold Removal Process
Mold removal and remediation are straightforward, though larger infestations will take longer.
Inspection
When you call us for mold removal and remediation, our team will perform a careful inspection to plan our next steps. Then, we will send a mold sample to a lab to determine what kind of mold it is.
This process may take a few days. During this time, do not turn on your AC; keep doors and windows closed to contain the mold in one area. Severe infestations may require you to stay elsewhere until we remove the mold.
Mold Removal and Remediation
Mold removal and remediation are two separate processes:
- Removal: This is when we physically remove mold from the area. This may involve sweeping it away with a wire brush or removing infected drywall, wood, or other materials.
- Remediation: A key part of home restoration, mold remediation corrects the source of the problem. We will find the source and remove the excess humidity that allowed the mold to grow with specialized equipment.
