Professional mold remediation in CT and MA
Mold is one of the most serious indoor contaminants found in modern homes. It can cause health problems, destroy your furniture and belongings, and even cause structural damage to your home. It grows most easily in dark, damp conditions, and can start spreading after just 48 hours of water exposure.
If you think there might be mold growing in your home, you should take action right away by calling Makeover Restoration Services. We’ll take action quickly to identify the source of the mold growth, eradicate moisture to prevent it from spreading, and restore your damaged building materials or belongings to improve indoor air quality and keep your home and family safe.
Common Types of Mold Growth
There are a lot of misconceptions about mold. You may assume, for example, that mold only grows and spreads following severe water damage. While flooding provides a perfect environment for mold growth, so do leaky pipes, damaged roofs, unventilated bathrooms, and even seasonal fluctuations in relative humidity. If you’re concerned that you might have a mold problem on your hands, keep an eye, and a nose, out for these common signs of mold growth.
- Unusual, musty odors
- Respiratory symptoms, especially in allergy or asthma sufferers
- Condensation on glass or metal, which indicates high humidity
- Dark spots on the ceilings, walls, or floors that indicate water leaks
- Warped, cracked, or peeling paint and wallpaper
Since mold prefers to grow in the dark, you may not notice the infestation immediately. The best way to tell if your home is infested is to call us and schedule a mold inspection in Connecticut or Massachusetts.
The Mold Removal Process
It’s always best to leave mold remediation to professionals. Our contractors have dedicated training, professional equipment, and safety gear, so they’re ready to tackle any infestation. You can find out what to expect during the mold remediation process below.
Emergency Contact
The first step is to contact MRS and let us know that you need help. You can call us any time to arrange mold remediation services in Connecticut.
Initial Inspection and Damage Assessment
The first step we’ll take toward restoring your home to its former glory is to inspect it for signs of mold growth. Your technician will use technologically advanced tools and equipment to check humidity levels, identify hidden moisture, and assess both visible and hidden mold damage.
Containment and Filtration
Mold spreads by spores, so we use containment barriers to isolate affected areas and prevent further damage. Advanced filtration systems help us remove mold spores from the air throughout the mold remediation process to improve indoor air quality and protect unaffected areas of the house.
Mold and Moisture Removal
The key to removing mold and preventing future infestations is to remove excess moisture. We’ll identify and resolve any leaks or humidity problems before applying antifungal and antimicrobial agents to get rid of existing mold colonies. We can also replace any damaged carpeting, drywall, and other building materials.
Restore Belongings
Once we’ve put a stop to the mold growth, we’ll work to restore your furniture, clothing, and other affected items and sanitize everything. Finally, we’ll use advanced deodorization techniques to remove all traces of musty odors and leave your home looking and smelling like new.
