Mold Removal VS Mold Remediation in New Philadelphia, OH

Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

You have mold problem in your home. You have heard the terms ‘remediate’ and ‘removal’ of mold. But what really is the difference? And how do you, as a homeowner, make a proper decision? SERVPRO of New Philadelphia is here to help.

Here’s a spoiler alert. There is no way to completely remove mold from the home. Microscopic mold spores exist everywhere, inside and outside. Removing it 100% is completely impossible. Many restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy. We understand mold and mold growth. SERVPRO of New Philadelphia has the training and expertise to remediate the mold in your home or business.

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.

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. Learn more about SERVPRO’s  mold remediation process.
