Mold Remediation vs. Mold Removal

At Leone Restoration & Contracting, our professionals understand the science behind mold removal and remediation. Although they sound familiar, the process of each differs. Mold removal is the process of "removing the mold" and mold remediation is the process of taking preventative steps to stop the mold from growing back. During mold remediation we use processes such as:

• Chemical cleaning
• Dry ice blasting
• HEPA filtration
• High powered vacuums
  

Once the mold has been removed, the area should be cleaned with soap and water and then dried completely. Any remaining mold spores can be vacuumed up or removed with a damp cloth.

When To Contact A Professional

Spotting mold in your home can feel overwhelming and it's often difficult for the untrained eye to tell whether it is toxic or not. The Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, states that an area less than 10 square feet can be remediated by the homeowner, but anything beyond that should require a licensed and experienced professional.

Don't wait until it's too late and contact Leone Restoration & Contracting today.
