Mold Removal

Whether your property has been damaged and is in need of repair, if you are planning to remodel the property, or if you suspect mold growth, Restore can complete environmental testing to determine if mold, asbestos, or lead contaminants are present in the property.

Proven Restoration Expertise with Trusted Certifications.

Restore provides complete environmental testing for mold, asbestos, and lead. When these environmental contaminants are present in a property, additional safety measures must be followed to protect the health of those who come into contact with contaminated materials. Additionally, there are federal and state rules that apply to the proper abatement of asbestos and lead that must be followed.

Mold Testing

Mold growth can occur in any property where there is increased humidity or a moisture source such as a leaking roof or pipe, and organic material. Mold commonly grows on walls, ceilings, and floors, and can also be hidden on joists, framing materials, insulation, and other building materials. Mold spores travel easily through the air, and can be detected by air testing and confirmed by a visual inspection.

Our team of trained and certified technicians is here to help you with all of your restoration, cleaning, and insurance-related needs. Give us a call if you ever have any questions or concerns.

Asbestos Testing

Asbestos was commonly used in a number of building materials through the 1970s including insulation and flooring and roofing materials. Asbestos fibers, when disturbed, can become airborne and enter the respiratory system, posing a significant health risk to those who are exposed. If you suspect asbestos in your property and it has been damaged, or you have plans to remove the material, it should first be tested to confirm whether asbestos is present so the proper procedures can be followed for abatement or removal.

Lead Testing

Lead poses a significant health risk, and is most commonly a concern in homes or properties that contain lead paint. When your property has been damaged or you are planning a remodel, lead paint dust can be inhaled or ingested. At Restore, we can test your property to determine if lead is present to ensure the proper procedures are followed for cleanup, abatement, or removal of lead.

Mold

I might have mold in my home, should I be concerned?

Keep in mind that we all deal with mold spores daily in both our indoor and outdoor environments. It is never really a question of whether you have mold in your home, but more a question of “is the mold in my home out of control?”.

Does professional mold remediation remove every mold spore in my home?

It is not reasonably possible to rid a structure of all mold spores since they are part of our everyday air. Mold remediation is about reducing elevated mold spore levels to what is considered reasonable or acceptable levels, or standards that would be considered normal.

How do I know if I have black mold?

Mold identification should never be determined by just color. Actual mold species and their toxicity can only be determined through microscopic analysis by a qualified mycologist or an Indoor Environmental Professional. The term “black mold” is usually used to describe a particular type of mold called Stachybotrys, which is known as toxic mold. However, not every mold that is black is Stachybotrys and to add to the complexity, not all toxic molds are black in color.

What is the key to controlling mold growth?

The key to avoiding a mold problem begins with controlling excess moisture. Respond to water intrusions immediately, repairing the source of excess moisture and completely drying out all affected areas. The standard target for ideal indoor humidity is 30% to 55% RH.
