DIY Mold Removal vs. Professional Remediation

Monday, April 8th, 2024

Mold isn’t a minor problem for a home, an unsightly blemish. It’s also a health hazard. Mold spores can cause allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and other serious health problems, especially in children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems.

If you have a problem with mold in your house, you have a choice: to tackle the issue through DIY methods or to call in professional mold remediation services. But this isn’t much of a choice when it comes down to the basic facts. We offer mold remediation, and we can offer insight into both approaches to explain why you always want to go with professionals.

Tips for Mold Prevention in Your Home

Monday, March 13th, 2023

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.

Of course, prevention is the best way to deal with mold. In cases where flooding or some other disaster creates mold, you don’t have much control. In most other cases, mold growth is preventable as long as you know the right steps to take.

We’re going to go over several of the ways to keep mold out of your home so you don’t have to arrange for mold remediation in Orange County, CA.
