Advance, NC Mold Damage Remediation

Mold development can be an underappreciated threat to Advance homes and businesses. With post-storm damage recovery and moist conditions, attic mold and black mold damage repairs are often necessary. We have highly trained Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians (AMRT) accredited and trained through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to help. From single-family homes to William Ellis Middle School or the local Davidson County Community College campus, our mold remediators can help with:

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

  • Mold specialists

Mold Remediation Strategies for Advance Properties

Attic mold removal is not a universal approach and often requires several strategies to complete. Depending on the severity of the microbial exposure and the deterioration of hosting material, numerous methods and practices get used during the remediation process. As formidable as black mold can seem, the steps to remove it are the same as any residential mold, including surface cleaning, media blasting, sanding, or demolition when other options are no longer feasible.

Our Mold Specialists Continue to Help Damaged Advance Homes

After black mold removal, our mold specialists continue with helpful services, including odor removal and cleaning. To provide peace of mind, we can also secure third-party environmental analysis of your property to ensure the work we do meets strict North Carolina standards, and most importantly, yours.

Understanding Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold 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 - (336) 677-1415

The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, 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 Advance, NC 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

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums 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

During the remediation process, it’s often necessary to remove porous building materials like subfloors, drywall, and carpet. The restoration step returns your Advance, NC home or business back to normal. Depending on the severity of mold damage, the restoration step may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, or it may involve a substantial reconstruction project.
