  • Mold Removal

The process of remediating a mold problem in your home is important. While the initial cost of remediating the mold can be high, the cost will only increase over time. If you aren’t sure whether you should hire a mold removal professional in the New York City area or DIY, here are some important tips:

Mold Remediation

There are many reasons why mold remediation is necessary. The initial water damage that causes the mold is an ideal breeding ground. It also provides the perfect environment for bacteria and mold growth. Some people are allergic to mold, while others are more tolerant. Mold can cause structural damage to buildings. In these cases, professional mold remediation is necessary. Experts will conduct a thorough mold inspection to determine what type of mold is present. They will remove the mold safely, restore the affected areas, and prevent future growth.

The next step in the remediation process is to remove all infected building materials. This can include drywall, carpeting, and insulation. In order to minimize the chance of spreading the mold spores, the affected building materials must be removed. The remediation team will also fix any loose bathroom fan ducts. They will also perform repairs, such as installing a new fan, if necessary. After the remediation process is complete, the mold-infected building materials are disposed of appropriately.

Black Mold Removal

Before you begin black mold removal, you’ll need several supplies to get the job done correctly. The first is plastic sheets. Duct tape is also useful in securing the area so that you can’t spread the mold around. The next item you’ll need is a negative air machine, ideally with HEPA filtration. This machine will remove the mold and prevent it from spreading to other areas of the home. It will also help reduce the likelihood of you contracting any respiratory issues as a result of your exposure.

Once you have determined whether or not you want to tackle the job yourself, you’ll need to get the necessary protective gear. This includes disposable coveralls, rubber gloves, goggles, and a face mask with particle filters. You should also wear a dust mask and closed shoes. If the area is smaller than 10 square feet, you can try the optional procedures. If you can, find and repair the sources of moisture, such as pipes or ducts, so that future mold won’t grow.

Professional Mold Removal

If you suspect that your property has been affected by mold, professional mold removal services are a must. Professional technicians are trained and certified to handle any size or shape of the mold infestation. They will assess the property, collect samples, and remove the mold using eco-friendly products and anti-fungal chemicals. Professionals may also provide odor control and visual inspections. This will help you get a better idea of what mold is in your home, and how to deal with it.

Before hiring a professional mold removal service, it is essential to determine where the problem started. It is best to solve the moisture issue that caused the mold growth and to determine how long it took for the moisture to travel. If there are multiple sources, the mold growth will be more difficult to get rid of. However, if a leak has been present for several years, it is wise to get rid of the entire source before hiring a professional mold removal service.

What People Are Saying...

Working with Mario and his team at United Restoration Services was a pleasure! His team quickly came to our residence after we experienced severe water damage. They were calm, walked us through the process, and, remediated and cleaned all the damaged areas. They guided us through the claims process, and were highly professional. These situations are very stressful, and Mario's follow-up afterwards was very helpful!
United Restoration services are top notch. They cleaned a house we had been renting for the past year. No detail escaped them. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and got right to work. I have never seen such exacting attention to the cleaning process. The house sparkled after they were finished. Would totally recommend without hesitation!!!
A pipe burst, my condominium was flooded; two floors and one ceiling were ruined. Not more than a few hours passed before an entire crew showed up (at night) to begin the clean up, place five industrial-type fans between the two floors, returned the following day to continue with clean up. Members of this team continued for several days to return, remove garbage, check on wetness, etc. This group, headed by Mario Lutz was incredible.
This letter should reflect more than a thank you. This letter is authorization for you to give my name and number to anyone that requires your services. They will be told of your knowledgeable communication, ability to handle any size job, meet deadlines , and willingness to work with other contractors to ensure no delays. Thank you again for performance instead of excuses.
I cannot fully express how pleased I was with the service provided by United Restoration Services Inc. Cynthia Mason and her wonderful crew completed the job on time (very reliable), the work was above and beyond my expectations. If their service is required, I strongly recommend them.
