Mold growth can occur on most common building surfaces such as sheetrock, wood, carpet, linoleum floor or on any organic material. Bathrooms, basements, areas around windows where moisture condenses, and near leaky water sources or sinks are also common mold growth areas. Growth can begin within 48 hours after the ideal moisture content has been achieved.
Common causes of moisture problems include roof leaks, poor maintenance, condensation associated with high humidity or cold spots in the building, plumbing system failures or heavy rains, poorly sealed buildings and slow leaks in plumbing systems.
Uncontrolled humidity in a property with a lack of ventilation can also be a source of moisture leading to mold growth. Regardless of the size, the location or the complexity of your residential or commercial project, mold removal procedures requires highly specialized skills from start to finish.
At Disaster Control and Restoration, we do it right. Our experience and state of the art equipment when it comes to dealing with mold cleaning and black mold removal ensures that your mold problem will be dealt with quickly, safely, and efficiently.
When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours, and will be present almost everywhere; indoors and outdoors. Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas. 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.
The experts at Disaster Control and Restoration use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. Removing and disposing of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, may be necessary to remediate heavy mold growth. The sooner you call professionals when you spot or suspect mold, the more material you will save from being infested.

Mold remediation is a term used to encompass all the services relating to removing harmful mold. That includes testing, containment, cleaning, sanitizing and removal of mold and damaged materials.
There is not a singular mold smell as every property is different and amounts will vary. By and large, people describe the mold smell as musty, stale and damp.
When you have mold that covers over 10 square feet of your property, it’s usually time to bring in certified mold remediators.
Mold is a general term that covers multiple types of mold or fungus growth. Mildew is a type of mold that is common to grow in homes and buildings. Mold oftentimes looks slimy or fuzzy and is raised. Whereas mildew is powdery and usually a white or gray color.
Most of the time, mold damage is only covered if it’s related to a covered loss. Mold damage caused by flooding would be paid for by a separate flood policy. Insurances may cover mold damage resulting from internal leaks in some cases.
The time it takes to remove and remediate mold depends on the size of the property and damaged area. Most mold damage jobs are started and finished within 1-5 business days.
Most of the time you do not need to leave your home or building during a mold remediation. A containment area is set up by certified mold remediators to control the spread of mold pores.
Certain types of mold may have a fuzzy texture, but black mold will usually be slimy or wet. Early forms of black mold may be more powder-like.
