Mold is often called the "silent destroyer" because it can grow behind walls or under flooring in your Cottleville, MO home without you even seeing it. Following water damage—even a small leak—mold spores can colonize in as little as 24-48 hours. Professional remediation is key to ensuring it's gone for good.
Hidden Dangers of Mold
Mold isn't just unsightly; it can pose serious health risks. Inhaling mold spores can trigger allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and other respiratory issues, especially in children and the elderly. Long-term exposure to certain types, like black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum), can have more severe effects.
Our Proven Remediation Protocol
Simply bleaching mold doesn't work; it often leaves the roots behind or releases more spores into the air. Our process involves:
1. Containment
We seal off the affected workspace with plastic sheeting and set up negative air pressure to prevent spores from spreading to clean parts of your home.
2. Air Filtration
We use industrial-grade air scrubbers with HEPA filters to capture microscopic mold spores from the air.
3. Safe Removal and Cleaning
We safely remove mold-infested materials (like drywall or carpet) that cannot be salvaged. For salvageable surfaces, we use specialized antimicrobial and antifungal cleaning agents.
4. Verification
We conduct a final inspection to ensure the mold is gone and the moisture source has been addressed, giving you peace of mind.
