What to Expect From Mold Remediation

May 31, 2022 by MSR Restoration

Mold in your home can pose a serious hazard to the health and wellness of your family. Identifying the problem and getting the proper professional services in a timely manner can keep you and your home safe and sound. At MSR Restoration, we offer mold remediation in South Jersey and Philadelphia. Ready to have your space inspected and remediated? Not sure if your mold is a serious problem or not? Worried about a specific area even though you can’t see any mold? Notice a musty or moldy smell but can’t see any mold? No matter your concerns, we can help you find the right solution for your property. 

MSR Restoration’s Mold Remediation Process

In our years of experience, we’ve seen almost everything there is to see when it comes to mold growth in and around homes. We’ve also very carefully refined our process so that homeowners have the most hassle-free experience possible during the mold abatement. Here’s what you can expect from our skilled mold professionals:

  1. Evaluation. At our first meeting, we’ll thoroughly evaluate your space to determine the extent of the mold damage, and discuss our plan for remediation and restoration with you. 
  2. Site Prep. We’ll outfit ourselves in the proper safety gear, such as a high filtration face mask and full protective suit. We’ll also seal off the affected area and lay down plastic sheeting so the mold spores are contained as we work and avoid spreading the infestation.
  3. Mold Removal. Porous materials, such as sheetrock, baseboards, tack strips, paper backed insulation, and others that have been affected with mold and cannot be restored to their previous condition will be removed and discarded. Simply cleaning these materials and leaving them in place would almost certainly guarantee mold re-growth. It’s likely that during this phase, we’ll also find the source of your mold problem, whether it’s a roof leak, foundation issue, leaky pipe, a spill, or something else. 
  4. HEPA/Vacuuming & Anti-Microbial Cleaning. The remaining surfaces in the problem area will be property vacuumed with HEPA filtration equipment and treated with a non-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) anti-microbial solution.  Any surfaces left with mold staining will be scrubbed and treated with a mold stain remover and then a mold-resistant sealant to inhibit future mold growth.
  5. Air Purifying. Once the mold and its source have been removed, we’ll get to work cleaning and purifying the air in the affected area. We utilize professional equipment such as HEPA air scrubbers and industrial-strength dehumidifiers.

MSR Restoration is the Best Choice for Mold Remediation in South Jersey

As with any skilled professional you hire, be wary of companies that offer quick fix solutions without actually tackling the problem at its source. Some companies claim to offer mold removal services while only covering up the existing mold. This may seem like a cheaper option at first, but after the mold comes back time and time again, you’ll end up paying much more in the long run. Solve your problems the right way the first time with a professional, experienced company. Contact us to schedule a FREE evaluation!

The Importance of Professional Mold Remediation

May 31, 2022 by MSR Restoration

When it comes to mold remediation, we label it DNDIY, or “Do Not DIY.” Mold in the home can cause serious health problems and, unfortunately, most homeowners don’t realize how prevalent harmful mold can be. Rather than tackling this hazardous process yourself, it’s incredibly important to reach out to a hired professional. MSR Restoration offers professional, state-of-the-art services you can rely on for mold remediation in Philadelphia and South Jersey. 

Why is it important to get professional mold remediation?

Since it’s not a simple fix, many ignore taking care of mold problems to avoid the stress and worry. Here are a few reasons getting mold remediation done by professionals is integral in keeping your family and home happy and healthy. 

  • Mold is hazardous to your health. As mentioned above, mold can pose a serious threat to your health. Since it can grow on almost anything in the home: the carpet, furniture, walls, clothing, floors, grout, etc., it can be incredibly dangerous. It can also be surprisingly difficult to detect. Mold can seem “invisible” if it’s growing behind walls or beneath surfaces, but even if mold is hidden from the naked eye, it can still have an adverse effect on the respiratory system. It’s estimated that of the 21.8 million people who suffer from asthma in the U.S, 4.6 million cases are caused by mold exposure at home.
  • You can’t safely DIY. Attempting to address a mold problem yourself is not only ineffective, it can sometimes be harmful. Without a working knowledge of the types of mold and the way it grows, getting too close and ingesting spores can lead directly to a medical issue. Without the proper equipment and safety protocols, your safety is at risk if you try treating mold without professional help. Our professionals not only have the appropriate training necessary to deal with hazardous mold, they also have years of experience identifying and remediating problem areas. We have the proper equipment and safety gear to protect our bodies from hazardous substances.
  • Quick fixes don’t work. A quick fix such as getting rid of a carpet can lead to worse infestations. For example, when pulling up flooring, the spores can spread everywhere and create new colonies of mold. Attempting to cover the mold with paint doesn’t get rid of the issue. In fact, it just prevents you from being able to see the spread to accurately treat the area. It may be tempting to attack mold with harsh chemical cleaners, but that leaves the possibility of the mold growing back with a vengeance.
