If you have a confirmed mold issue, you need to act quickly. Mold can be dangerous to your health. It also damages the area it grows on, the longer mold grows, the more damage it can cause. MoldGone’s mold remediation service identifies and addresses mold issues. The process prevents the spread of mold by identifying the root cause, treating the affected areas and returning the property to its original state.
How is Mold Remediation Done?
After an in person consultation from a MoldGone Professional, a customized remediation protocol will be drafted. The mold remediation process consists of:
Identifying the source of the moisture
Closing off the affected area (this is done to avoid contaminating other areas of your home or business with mold spores loosened during the removal process)
Cleaning the air of mold spores and other particles with HEPA filters
Removing mold and all mold infested items
Meticulously cleaning the contained space and surrounding areas with a broad-spectrum disinfectant

FAQ
Q: Can mold really make me sick? What are the symptoms?
A: Yes, very! Depending on the type of mold and the scope of the problem, you could deal with a mild illness or long term, detrimental effects. Molds that are considered “non-toxic” can still cause allergic reactions like sneezing, sore/itchy eyes, nasal congestion, rashes, etc. Molds considered “toxic” (like black mold) can cause more serious problems like headaches, memory loss, dizziness, trouble concentrating, and even hearing loss. It’s really not worth the risk to have a mold in your home! You can read more about this on our blog.
Q: Is there any way for me to treat the mold myself?
A: A mold issue can be like an iceberg – you might see a little bit of it, but there could be a much larger amount hidden from plain sight. There’s a good chance that home remedies wouldn’t eradicate the whole problem and it could come back or worsen. For this reason, it’s always best to let a professional determine the full scope of the problem and fix it in entirety.
Q: How long does it take to fix a mold problem?
A: There is no simple answer for this! If you know for sure you have mold, we can usually come to your house/property within 2 business days and evaluate/estimate the repair. Beyond that, it totally depends on the scope of your problem. Some jobs are simple surface treatments while others require demolition and reconstruction to eradicate the mold. Because mold is often hidden from plain sight, even if you think the job is small, it may turn out to be a longer process.
Q: Do you always have to remove something moldy or can it be fixed without demolition?
A: This is hard to answer without inspecting the problem area first. In theory, some problems can be fixed with surface treatments and contamination measures. Others need to be totally removed and reconstructed, not only to eradicate the mold itself, but to make sure it won’t spread to nearby areas.
Q: How long does it take to fulfill an appointment request?
A: We always do our best to return a call within 1 business day and to fulfill your appointment within 2 business days.
Q: Can I send you pictures of my building instead of you coming to me for an evaluation and estimate?
A: Unfortunately, no. While photos may help determine the areas you definitely need checked, mold can be in many areas (even in the air) that are not clearly visible. For this reason, we need to personally inspect the area in order to provide an accurate evaluation and pricing estimate.
Q: Do I pay upfront or after all the services are complete?
A: Depends on the scope of the project. All work over $5,000 requires a minimum deposit before work begins.
Q: Do you offer weekend appointments?
A: Yes, we are available on Saturdays from 7am – 4pm.
Q: Do you recommend an independent third party mold analysis before beginning work?
A: If we don’t find mold during a visual inspection then our team may collect samples and recommend sending them for independent third party analysis. Since there is an added cost for this service and it can take 3-5 additional business days, we may not recommend taking this step if mold is easily visible.
