How safe is the air you’re breathing…

Tiny particles of molds are found everywhere in indoor and outdoor air and are very common in buildings and homes. Indoors, mold growth can be found where humidity levels are high. Molds produce microscopic cells called “spores” that are spread easily through the air. Live spores act like seeds, forming new mold colonies when they find the right conditions. Many building materials (such as wood, drywall, etc.) provide food that can support mold growth. Controlling moisture and complete mold extermination are the keys to stopping indoor mold growth.

Do I have a mold problem?

Indoor mold growth can usually be seen or smelled. In most cases, if visible mold growth is present, sampling is not needed. There are no health or exposure-based standards that you can use to evaluate a mold sampling result. The Florida Department of Health does not recommend mold testing or sampling to see if you have a mold problem, or to see what kind of mold might be growing. Sampling for mold in the air can be expensive and, if done, should only be done by experienced professionals. Investigate a mold problem; don’t test.

* Look for visible mold growth (it may look cottony, velvety, rough, or leathery and have different colors like white, gray, brown, black, yellow, or green). Mold often appears as a staining or fuzzy growth on furniture or building materials (walls, ceilings, or anything made of wood or paper). Look for signs of moisture or water damage (water leaks, standing water, water stains, condensation, etc.).
* Check around air handling units (air conditioners, furnaces) for standing water. Routinely inspect the evaporator coils, liner surfaces, drain pans and drain lines.
* Search areas where you notice mold odors. If you can smell an earthy or musty odor, you may have a mold problem.

What we do to fix your mold problem

Proper Mold Remediation techniques by an experienced Mold Remediation Contractor are extremely important because an improperly handled project can turn a small mold contamination into a large problem, often resulting in as much as ten times the cost of the original remediation. RenoPro is experienced in both the Mold Remediation and the resulting Restoration, serving residential, commercial, and healthcare clients.

When the extent of the mold contamination and cause have been confirmed, containment is setup and the area is put under negative pressure, so that the contamination does not spread during the remediation process. With this containment in place, first the cause needs to be rectified and then a proper remediation needs to be performed by our certified professional staff. This includes working under negative air, wearing the proper protection, utilizing respirators, using HEPA filtration and following proper handling and disposal techniques.
