Seminole, FL Mold Damage Remediation

With many natural reserves and parks in the Greater Seminole area like Blossom Lake, Lake Seminole Park, and the Seminole City Park, humid conditions and flooding threats become a mindful threat to area residents. Persistent moisture impacting homes and commercial properties can lead to mold colonies' development, requiring swift mold removal and deodorization actions by our competent professionals. We can help with:

  • Mold remediation
  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Attic mold
  • Black mold
  • Mold specialists 

Can Mold Removal Vary in Seminole Properties?

Mold remediation can involve several strategies and techniques depending on the severity of the situation and the impacted hosting materials. As rapidly as mold organisms can spread in a residence, containment can be a vital effort to help regulate drying conditions and begin mold removal efforts. A mold inspection can determine which materials are damaged by active colonization and the appropriate actions. Surface treatments are among the most common solutions, including sanding, dry ice blasting, and antimicrobial cleaning. Only when these options are deemed inefficient does our team consider controlled demolition. 

Will Mold Remediation Resolve Harsh Odors in Seminole Homes?

Remediation strategies must also tackle another considerable hurdle in post-mold cleaning and restoration – black mold odors. Counteractants can reduce the severity of these smells in the environment and what becomes trapped in porous materials. The final deodorization efforts often involve tools like hydroxyl generators, ULV foggers, and HEPA air scrubbers.

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because it’s impossible to remove all mold from a house or business; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. 
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return. 
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:

Step 1: Emergency Contact - (727) 391-6212

We’re available 24 hours, 7 days a week to answer your phone call. Our consultant will guide you through this process, asking questions that will allow us to better understand your situation and to determine the needed equipment and personnel.

Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the mold damage by carefully inspecting your property for visible signs of mold. Since mold can be hidden, we use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources. 

Step 3: Mold Containment

To keep the mold spores from spreading further, we will use various mold containment procedures. Our professionals may use physical barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the contaminated area and to help prevent the mold spores from spreading through your Seminole, FL home or business. Also, we’ll turn off the property’s fans and heating and cooling systems to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

We use powerful air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other filtration equipment to remove microscopic mold spores out of the air. This air filtration process and our mold containment process help to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. We’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. It may be necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to remediate heavy mold growth.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

We clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by mold, using a variety of cleaning techniques to clean and disinfect your belongings. We’re also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
