Mold removal in your home: how do I know it's completed?

When you find mold in your home it's always a concern. If the mold covers more than a 3 foot by 3 foot area, the EPA recommends you have a professional involved in cleaning up the mold and restoring the area.

Here's what the Environmental Protection Agency says about mold in its guide "A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home". According to the article, there are several important steps that will help you know if your mold situation was handled properly. They include:

• You must have completely fixed the water or moisture problem before the cleanup or remediation can be considered finished.
• You should have completed mold removal. Visible mold and moldy odors should not be present. Please note that mold may cause staining and cosmetic damage.
• You should have revisted the site shortly after cleanup and it should show no signs of water damage or mold growth.
• People should have been able to occupy or re-occupy the area without health complaints or physicial symptoms.

There is no easy answer to a mold problem. It's important that you feel comfortable re-occupying and that you are confident the damage has been contained and corrected.

San Diego Mold Removal: Trust an Expert

If your home or business has mold, you realize you have a problem. The EPA says just seeing mold or a moisture problem means you have an issue you need to address -- and quickly. If you see visible growth, most likely there is even more going on behind the walls. Mold remediation is the process of identifying mold, cleaning it up and containing it from spreading.

Businesses all over San Diego promote that they handle mold and moisture problems. But what set's a company apart? We believe that one important factor is our affiliation with the Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Association. (For more information, check out their website)

The IICRC, which is now called The Clean Trust, is a non profit organization that's mission is to make sure customers have access to trained and trusted professionals. This means they monitor our standards and our certification as a remediation and restoration contractor. We don't take this lightly. We proudly promote our affiliation with the IRRC because it means we are commited to quality and to making sure we meet and exceed industry standards.

To be affiliated with the IICRC we have to maintain our training, keep an active customer feedback system and provide ongoing training and certification to our technicians.

When it comes to dealing with mold there is no time to mess around. You need to know who you are dealing with and be confident that they can address the issues of mold and moisture appropriately. Trust an IICRC affiliated reconstruction contractor.
