Scientific Research on Mold Health Effects

What the medical community says about mold exposure

CDC (Centers for Disease Control)

"Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects, or none at all. Some people are sensitive to molds, and exposure can cause stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes and skin."

The CDC recommends professional removal for mold growth larger than 10 square feet.

EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)

"Molds can trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Potential health effects and symptoms associated with mold exposures include allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory complaints."

EPA guidelines emphasize the importance of addressing moisture problems within 24-48 hours.

WHO (World Health Organization)

"Sufficient epidemiological evidence exists that indoor dampness and mold are associated with respiratory symptoms, asthma exacerbation, and respiratory infections."

WHO guidelines stress the link between damp conditions and health problems.

The Medical Consensus Is Clear:

Major health organizations worldwide agree that mold exposure poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations including children, elderly, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems or existing respiratory conditions.

Professional remediation is not optional - it's a health necessity.

Our Professional Mold Remediation Process

IICRC AMRT Certified | EPA-Approved Methods | Safe for Your Family

1

Free Inspection & Testing

Our IICRC-certified inspectors conduct a thorough visual inspection and use advanced moisture detection equipment to identify all mold growth areas, including hidden mold behind walls and under floors.

  • Comprehensive visual inspection
  • Moisture meter readings
  • Air quality sampling (if needed)
  • Detailed photo documentation
  • Written assessment report

Result: You know exactly what you're dealing with and what it will cost.

2

Containment & Air Filtration

We isolate the contaminated area to prevent mold spores from spreading to clean areas of your home during removal. HEPA filtration systems clean the air continuously.

  • Physical barriers and plastic sheeting
  • Negative air pressure systems
  • HEPA air scrubbers (remove 99.97% of particles)
  • Sealed work zones
  • Protection of unaffected areas

Result: Mold stays contained, your family stays safe.

3

Safe Mold Removal

Using EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments and proper PPE, our technicians physically remove all mold growth and contaminated materials. This is not a surface treatment - we remove it completely.

  • Physical removal of mold colonies
  • Removal of contaminated materials (drywall, insulation)
  • EPA-approved antimicrobial application
  • HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces
  • Proper disposal of contaminated materials

Result: All mold physically removed, not just covered up.

4

Structural Drying & Moisture Control

Mold can't grow without moisture. We use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate all moisture and prevent future growth.

  • Industrial-grade dehumidification
  • High-velocity air movers
  • Moisture monitoring until dry
  • Identify and fix moisture sources
  • Prevention recommendations

Result: Conditions that allow mold growth are eliminated.

5

Post-Remediation Testing & Clearance

We don't consider the job done until independent testing confirms the mold is gone and air quality is safe. This protects you and validates our work for insurance.

  • Post-remediation air quality testing
  • Independent lab analysis
  • Clearance certificate upon passing
  • Detailed final report
  • Prevention guidance

Result: Certified proof your home is mold-free and safe.

6

Restoration & Reconstruction

We don't just remove mold - we restore your home to better-than-before condition with quality materials and expert craftsmanship.

  • Drywall replacement and repair
  • Flooring restoration
  • Painting and finishing
  • Baseboards and trim
  • Complete reconstruction if needed

Result: Your home looks beautiful, not like work was ever done.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mold

Get answers to common mold concerns

How much does mold remediation cost?

Costs typically range from $1,500 to $15,000 depending on the extent of growth and damage. Most homeowner insurance policies cover mold remediation when caused by a sudden covered event. We provide free inspections with accurate quotes and work directly with your insurance.

Can I remove mold myself?

Small areas (less than 10 square feet) of surface mold on non-porous materials can potentially be cleaned by homeowners. However, any mold growth larger than this, black mold, or mold from sewage water requires professional remediation. DIY removal often spreads spores and fails to address the root cause.

How long does mold remediation take?

Simple projects can be completed in 1-3 days. Larger projects with extensive growth or structural damage may take 5-10 days. We provide accurate timelines after inspection and work efficiently to restore your home quickly.

Is mold testing necessary?

If you can see or smell mold, you don't necessarily need testing - you need removal. However, testing is valuable for: (1) identifying hidden mold, (2) determining specific mold types, (3) establishing baseline air quality, and (4) verifying successful remediation. We recommend testing in certain situations.

Will mold come back after removal?

Not if the moisture problem is fixed. Mold requires moisture to grow. Our process includes identifying and eliminating moisture sources, proper drying, and prevention recommendations. When done correctly, mold should not return to remediated areas.

Is it safe to stay in my home during remediation?

It depends on the extent and location of mold. For small contained areas, you may stay in other parts of the home. For extensive growth or black mold, temporary relocation may be necessary. We use containment and negative air pressure to prevent spore spread, and we'll advise you based on your specific situation.

What causes mold growth?

Mold needs three things: moisture, organic material (wood, drywall, carpet), and warmth. Common causes include: water leaks, flooding, high humidity, poor ventilation, condensation, and slow-draining areas. In San Diego, roof leaks and plumbing issues are the most common culprits.

Does insurance cover mold remediation?

Most homeowner policies cover mold if it results from a sudden, covered event like a burst pipe or storm damage. Mold from long-term neglect or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. We review your policy, document everything properly, and work to maximize your coverage.
