Posted in Mold Removal | Comments Off on A Closer Look at Mold Damage and What You May Not Know About It

One of the most important types of home restoration projects we perform is mold remediation. Mold isn’t something you can just wipe up or clean off using a chemical spray. Mold remediation requires specialists to do mold testing, removing the mold, sanitizing the area, and ensuring the mold is contained and not spreading elsewhere.
