The objective of mold
remediation is to return an
indoor environment to normal,
natural levels of mold particles on
surfacesand in the air. Removal of all
mold spores is impossible, and unnecessary,
as mold spores are everywhere in our natural
environment, and usually not problematic unless
found at an elevated level within a contained airspace.

At elevated levels, mold can be hazardous to occupants, causing "Sick Building Syndrome" and compromise a building’s structure. Allergenic complications and symptoms are commonly associated with elevated indoor counts. Of even greater concern are molds that produce toxins, such as Stachybotrys sp., which can thrive indoors if the conditions are present for its growth. The toxins that these molds produce have been associated with a wide variety of health effects in both humans and animals. For these reasons, high standards of care must be followed when performing remediation to ensure the project's success.
Who needs mold remediation?
A building that has elevated levels of allergenic or toxic molds may need mold remediation. If inhabitants of a structure have been experiencing "Sick Building Syndrome" such as increased allergenic symptoms (which may include runny nose, eye irritation, an unproductive dry cough, difficulty breathing or unexplained headaches), repetitive respiratory infections, or other undiagnosed medical problems, mold may be a factor. This is especially if a known moisture source such as a leaky basement or roof is present.
Many moisture sources can go undetected, as can mold growth within walls, air ducts, or other out of sight locations. Professional inspection and air sampling can help uncover these hidden hazards. Sick Home Syndrome is a serious condition which gets worse with time.
Mold can compromise the structure of your home or office by weakening the building materials, which the mold feeds on. Correction of the moisture intrusions causing mold growth, removal of the growth itself, and removal of spores are the keys to an effective remediation project.
