Invasive mold can harm your family’s health, especially if a member of your family has breathing issues in the first place. Removing mold from your home is a slow process that takes a lot of knowledge and even more preparation. The bottom-dollar quotes you see online won’t even cover the cost of the minimum precautions required in the mold remediation process.
Mold remediation is about prevention almost as much as it is about removal. Several steps must be taken to keep the concentrated spores from a mold colony traveling to a new spot in your home. These precautions include:
Just these few items and actions cost more than the discount rates you can find online. Each of the above is the minimum you should expect to see when receiving a professional mold remediation service.
When you ask us to perform mold remediation in your home, we will first verify the location of your mold issue and that it hasn’t migrated into other areas of your home. We will then block off the affected area with plastic barriers and bring in machines to create negative air pressure in the enclosed space. Only then will we begin to remove the mold and infected structures within the area.
After the problem areas have been removed or cleaned, our equipment will remain in place until the area is completely dry and no longer an inviting home to mold spores.
Mold spores are in every breath we take and, for most of us, are completely harmless. It is only when they become concentrated in our air that they become a problem. The existence of a colony in your home is guaranteed to create a higher concentration of mold spores in your indoor air, which can affect the health of you and your family. Complications from mold include:
Your home can also be damaged by mold, beyond just the damage from moisture. Most people don’t recognize this fact, but mold is not a plant but a lifeform, and lifeforms need food. In the case of mold, its food is whatever it is colonizing. While moving much more slowly, mold can destroy your home’s structural wood just as thoroughly as can termites. The damage from an unchecked mold colony can run into the tens of thousands of dollars to repair.
In general, basement mold remediation concerns an area of roughly 10 feet x 10 feet. Some colonies can be larger, but this is the average size for most jobs as most homeowners become aware of the colony and take action before it gets any larger.
Based on this range and location, the price for professional mold remediation is between $2500 – $2900. This includes all the safety precautions, all the equipment and time, and the cleanup process from beginning to end. When we are finished, your mold problem will be gone, as will be any dirt or debris created throughout the process.
We also have the equipment, exclusive to only 70 companies in the world, to provide you with a 99% accurate report before we leave that will show you that your indoor air is now at safe levels, rather than making you wait weeks for a report to be returned from a lab that may or may not be accurate.
