Mold Remediation is a actually a term invented by professionals like us in the industry, to describe the action of dealing with elevated levels of mold in a home or business. The truth is, there are mold spores everywhere; in the air outside, and in all of our homes. But high levels of mold can be a potential health hazard and represent a danger to the structure of the home. As a homeowner, you may be alarmed when you find evidence of mold in your home, and rightly so!

Here's where it gets tricky. Some so called mold remediation companies claim that they can come into your home, spray down mold affected areas with a germicide, and that's it. But that's not it. According to the EPA, dead mold causes the same health problems that live mold does. Mold MUST be removed by proper cleaning techniques, not just killed. Many times mold is hidden within walls or inaccessible areas that cannot be quickly sprayed, so it will return, causing even more damage.

No matter what any "professional" tells you, according to industry accepted guidelines, mold should be removed, not simply killed. Clean and Restore’s remediation process is based on the guidelines found in the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification publication S520 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation, so you can be sure that it will always include measures to effectively remove the mold from the structure, leaving you a clean and safe home or business.

There are over 100,000 different types of mold. Mold spores are everywhere in the natural environment. Some mold is not harmful, but studies clearly show links between some common mold types and symptoms such as chronic coughs, asthma and allergy attacks, watery eyes, rashes, headaches, and other chronic respiratory conditions. Not only that, but mold threatens the health of your building structure, and it may cause difficulties, should you decide to sell it.
