“Mold Removal” vs. Mold Remediation

What’s the Difference?

If you were to test your home or business at any given time for mold spores, chances are they would come back positive as mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere. Many other restoration companies guarantee the removal of mold and vulnerable consumers believe this misinformation. SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch are your mold experts and with more than 30 years in the mold remediation industry, we give it to you straight. If you want an expert you can trust, call SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch to properly provide mold remediation services on your home or business.

Understanding Mold

When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic, 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 a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • 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 that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
