In Fairfax County, VA
Don't Wait Around For The Results You Need Now When
Valor Mold Can Provide Them Today
You can choose from several options for mold testing if you think you have an issue at your Fairfax County, VA, home. However, traditional mold testing can take up to a week to deliver results! That’s why we invested in the leading technology at Valor Mold to ensure we could provide our customers with immediate, precise results.
Our specialized mold testing machine can complete the test in approximately 60 minutes, allowing us to provide you with a simple-to-read report before we ever leave your home. Traditional test results include a bunch of unpronounceable words, but ours come in three colors:
- Green – only expected levels of airborne mold concentration
- Yellow – moderately higher levels of airborne mold concentration
- Red – significantly higher levels of airborne mold concentration
What’s even better is that our results are 99% accurate. We’ll assess the mold concentrations in up to 15 rooms in your home for one flat rate, giving you exceptional value for your investment.
We Don't Use Chemicals To Remove Your Mold Problems
Did you know chemicals aren’t needed or recommended for mold remediation? In fact, using harsh chemicals to attempt to remove a mold infestation can worsen the situation astronomically.
That’s why we follow the recommended process established by the Institute Of Inspection Cleaning & Restoration Certification (IICRC) for every mold remediation project we complete in the Northern VA, Southern MD, and Washington DC area. In this process, the IICRC directs us to complete the following four steps:
- Contain and place the affected area under negative pressure.
- Tear out any moldy objects that cannot be restored.
- Strip the mold from any objects that can be fixed.
- Remove all mold spores.
Our mold removal service takes time. The process is painstaking, and elbow grease isn’t a magical cleaning solution.
Cleaning: An Essential Step Of Mold Remediation
Many mold remediation companies overlook cleaning, which is one of the most crucial steps of the process. How does this affect you? Well, the truth is that the mold you see on the wall isn’t generally what causes your health problems – it’s the airborne mold spores you can’t see in your Fairfax County, VA, home.
While many people think killing mold is the answer, the ugly fact is that dead mold causes just as many reactions as live mold. Our special mold testing equipment found that the airborne mold spore counts within the containment chamber are in the millions during demolition.
These numbers are even present when we remove only a few square feet of visible mold.
This is why it’s not a best practice to perform DIY mold removal. Despite articles you may find online, removing any mold – even less than 10 square feet without assistance – is unsafe.
We use a three-step cleaning process to ensure we get all these airborne spores out of your affected area:
- Industrial-Strength HEPA Vacuuming: Our specialty HEPA vacuum is designed to collect mold spores. You can’t buy this type of vacuum in stores – those are for large pieces of debris, and we’re working with microscopic particles.
- Damp Wiping: Mycotoxins are sticky and remain after we complete HEPA vacuuming. We break their contact with the surfaces in the containment area by damp wiping every square inch with a mixture of 70/30 isopropyl alcohol and water with an added dash of dish soap.
- Another Round: We’ll complete HEPA vacuuming or damp wiping again – depending on the situation’s specific needs.
You'll Always Receive Transparency And
Honesty From Valor Mold
The sad truth is that many mold remediation companies in the Northern VA, Southern MD, and Washington DC area will take advantage of their customers who don’t know the ins and outs of the business. Many homeowners have no idea what goes into the process, how bad their problem is, or how much it costs to hire quality mold remediation services.
Here at Valor Mold, we can’t operate like that. We believe in being open and honest – even if we tell you your home is acceptable and doesn’t need our services. If you hire us for mold inspection and testing, we’ll give you the absolute truth about the extent of your problem and the type of services you need, nothing extra.
