Mold Remediation & Removal Services in Jefferson County, AL

Mold growth can occur when mold spores land on a moist surface, potentially causing significant damage to the surfaces it affects and threatening the structural integrity of your home. Some molds are also linked to serious health conditions. Effective mold remediation requires specialized knowledge and equipment that general contractors typically do not possess. Best Option Restoration of Jefferson County is certified to handle hazardous molds that could be harming your health.

Mold and Mildew Cleanup and Removal

Mold is a serious problem, often affecting larger areas than visible and causing extensive damage to building materials and structures. It can also cause health issues, especially for those with asthma or weakened immune systems. Just one square inch of mold can have over a million toxic spores.

Mold removal should be handled by professionals. The experts at Best Option Restoration of Jefferson County are trained and certified to safely remove and prevent mold in homes and businesses throughout the Mount Olive, AL region.

Signs of Mold and Mildew

Mold growth can sometimes be obvious, which is likely how you noticed it. Other times, you may not see mold growth but might smell a musty or unpleasant "mildewy" odor. There are cases where mold is neither seen nor smelled, but the residents might develop mold allergies or frequent health issues such as sneezing, coughing, skin rash, worsening asthma, and even serious illness.

It is recommended to have a professional assess the extent of the damage rather than testing for mold, as there are no established "acceptable" indoor mold levels. Testing for mold can be costly and often unnecessary. It is more effective to allocate resources towards remediating the mold issue.

Even if you want to handle it yourself, it's a good idea to talk to a professional, like the industrial hygienists at Best Option Restoration of Jefferson County. They can help you understand how bad the mold problem really is, which is often worse than it looks. Mold likes to grow in warm, dark places that are hard to reach, like between walls, in heating ducts, ventilation fans, crawl spaces, and basements. Our experts can find the source of the mold and identify all the areas affected.

Locating the Source

Visible mold is just the tip of the iceberg. Identifying the source of moisture is crucial, as it is where the mold problem originated. Without addressing the source, the mold problem will recur. Common sources include leaky, cracked, or broken pipes, poor seals, improperly connected hoses, irrigation systems, air conditioning units, and more. Mold can also result from flooding, rain, snow, ice, and other natural causes. Our technicians will first locate the source(s) of moisture.

After identifying the source, we locate all affected areas with mold growth and/or water damage. To fully remediate the mold problem, all affected areas must be removed and properly disposed of or thoroughly cleaned with industrial-strength products approved by the AIHA, CDC, and EPA.
