“Mold Removal” vs. Mold Remediation

What’s the Difference?

Mold is natural, and it occurs pretty much anywhere, both inside and outside. Other restoration companies advertise that they can remove mold, and even promise that they can get rid of it completely. Because it is naturally occurring, and microscopic, it’s simply impossible to remove all the mold from your home or commercial property. But just because you can’t get rid of mold entirely doesn’t mean we can’t help you! We here at SERVPRO of Grapevine/NE Tarrant County understand mold and how it grows. We’ve got the training, the expertise, and the equipment to remediate the mold in your home or business and make it “Like it never even happened. ®”

Understanding Mold

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.
