What Is the Difference Between Remediation and Removal?

2/15/2018 (Permalink)

Remediation is a cleanup process that gets mold back to natural levels.

Removal, on the other hand, often claims to get rid of all mold. Because there is a naturally occurring amount of mold in the air, complete removal is actually impossible.

Does All Water Damage Lead to Mold Growth?

Water problems do not have to lead to mold. However, because the fungus prefers a moist environment, burst pipes, flooding and other water issues often are precursors to mold problems. Being quick to mitigate water buildup may reduce your chances of having to deal with mold.

How Can You Tell If You're Dealing With Black Mold?

Black mold can easily be confused with other fungus variations. In order to know what you are really dealing with, you may have to have a trained mold specialist come into your facility to assess the growth. Once you know what is there, your remediation team will be able to make a plan specific to the mold you have growing in your building.

Mold growth can start for a lot of reasons. If you have high humidity, water damage problems or a warm area, you may be more prone to dealing with the arrival of fungus.
