Body: While mold has always been present in our homes and indoor living spaces, awareness about
its ability to threaten our health has only just started to rise and attract attention. You may be
shocked to learn that about $10billion are spent each year in the U.S. on the construction and repair
of healthcare facilities and that over 2 million patients get infections during their stay at a hospital
for other health problems.
If you are one of those people who is suffering from mold‐related symptoms and spending money
on fighting this problem, you need to get in touch with professionals who can help you remediate
the problem quickly and effectively.
Listed below are the some of the major questions that you need to ask a mold removal company to
ensure that you are spending your money wisely.
1. What could be the cause of mold infection?
Answer: The first and most important thing to find out when it comes to a mold problem is the
cause of the growth. There can be various reasons for mold growth including generally damp
environmental conditions, cracks in building foundation, poor insulation and stagnant water due to
leaks. Basements and attics are at an especially high risk of developing mold problems as they are
more prone to flooding, leaks and other forms of water intrusion. Identifying and repairing the cause
of the contamination will not only help immediate eliminate mold from your home/office and
reduce your symptoms, but it will also reduce the chances of future growth.
2. What are the remediation options?
Answer: The way that the mold removal service provider is going to approach and fix your mold
problem is another question that should be answered by each candidate. The standard procedure
involves performing air quality monitoring of the suspected area. Mold testing can be done in a
variety of ways including visual inspections, air quality inspections, surface sampling, and thermal
imaging. Once the testing is complete and the source of the mold has been identified, then a
complete report containing the recommended remediation strategy is sent to the client. At this
point, it is important to start any remediation work as soon as possible so that the mold does not
spread. Mold remediation can involve everything, from spraying of fungicides in the building to
getting rid of the infected materials with proper care.
3. What should you do once the mold problem has been remediated?

2. Answer: Once the problem has been dealt with, it is important to perform regular checks (e.g. air
quality testing) to catch potential mold problems before they can even start. You should also ask the
mold remediation specialists what preventative measures you can take in order to ensure safety for
your loved ones and other residents of the building. This might involve steps like installing a new air
filtration, purification or ventilation system, ensuring proper air circulation by regularly opening
windows and doors, or getting air quality inspections every once in a while. In addition, it is a good
idea to ask the professionals what you can do to avoid exposing yourself to mold (e.g. throwing out
moldy or water‐damaged materials, fixing leaky toilets, pipes, etc.).
Considering the extent of damage that mold can cause to both property as well as health, it becomes
imperative to contact mold inspection and mold removal professionals and address the problem
immediately.
Summary: Mold inspections and proper remediation are essential to good health and well‐being.
Find out everything you can from your mold removal company to ensure that you are going to fight
the problem in the most effective way possible.
