Mold remediation encompasses identifying and addressing mold issues in a structure. Mold remediation prevents the spread of mold by isolating damaged areas, removing affected material and eliminating moisture sources – the cause of the mold – in order to reestablish a healthy environment.

What is involved in mold remediation?

Mold remediation involves mold clean up and removal by Home Medic Restoration & Remodeling specialists to address the damage and health risks associated with mold. Cleaning with bleach and water will not kill mold. Moldy material must be removed and the damaged area reconstructed; therefore mold remediation is best left to a professional trained to handle hazardous material and eliminate the spread of mold to other rooms. Expert mold remediation includes:

Assessment

A Home Medic Restoration & Remodeling contractor will come to your building to assess and locate the source of the problem. He will then formulate a mold remediation plan.

Containment

The source of the moisture problem is addressed and the affected area is closed off to avoid contaminating the rest of your building with mold spores stirred up during the removal process.

Mold Health Risk

Due to the health risks associated with mold exposure, it is best to have mold remediation conducted as soon as possible. Though the type of reaction depends upon the mold present, according to both the EPA and CDC all molds have the potential to cause health issues such as:

 Headaches
 Breathing difficulties
 Persistent cough or cold symptoms
 Burning or irritation of the eyes, nose, throat or lungs
 Asthma attacks
 Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Skin irritation
Allergic reactions
Opportunistic infections in immune-compromised individuals
