Frequently Asked Questions

What is a containment?

A precaution used to minimize cross contamination from affected to unaffected areas by traffic or material handling. Containment normally consists of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting, often in combination with negative air pressure, to prevent cross contamination.

How much does a mold remediation job cost?

Every mold job is unique and prices vary.

Can my children get sick from mold growing in my home?

Research has shown that infants and children, elderly people, individuals with respiratory conditions or sensitivities such as allergies and asthma, and persons having weakened immune systems (for example, people with HIV infection, chemotherapy patients, organ transplant recipients) are more susceptible to becoming ill.

What is toxic black mold?

This is a term usually used in the media to identify Stachybotrys.

Should I test to see what type of mold is growing in my home?

If you know you had previous water intrusions or you smell musty odors. Or humidity problems are present. This is a valuable tool to determine the extent of the damage to your home or building.

Why should I use a remediation contractor instead of just a general contractor?

Because a remediation contractor is trained in the use of pressure differentials and the proper methodology to remove microbial contamination.
