Mold Removal

Moisture is mold’s best friend, and the San Francisco Bay Area’s famously damp climate makes it a paradise for the annoying and potentially dangerous fungi. If left untreated, mold can actually damage the structure of your home by literally eating wood, plaster, carpet and drywall. It can also be a health hazard to you and your family. Mold can cause allergies, respiratory illness and neurological issues. Scientists are even examining a possible link between the toxins produced by mold and certain cancers. The best way to protect yourself from the dangers of mold is to have your home inspected by a professional mold remediation expert and to quickly and safely remove any mold that may be found.

Is Your Home At Risk?

Homes that have experienced water damage from flooding, plumbing problems, or leaks are predisposed to mold growth. Significant moisture combined with natural building materials provides the perfect environment for mold to take hold and thrive. In the San Francisco area, however, those homes aren’t the only ones at risk. The significant humidity in our climate and the increasingly airtight features of new construction limit airflow and can create an ideal breeding ground for mold growth. Even with diligent cleaning and the use of dehumidifiers, there is no guarantee that you can prevent mold from infiltrating your home.

Detecting and Identifying Mold in Your Home

Vital Restoration offers free mold inspections to customers in the Bay Area. Our certified technicians are not only trained to test for mold, they are also qualified to determine what type of mold is growing in your home. Stachybotrys chartarum, also known as “black mold,” is the headline-grabbing mold that produces toxins that can cause serious harmful health effects. While this type of mold is less likely to be found in your home, more common molds may also be considered toxigenic and can still significantly impact you and your family’s well-being.

Not all dark-colored molds are “black mold,” and some of the most harmless-looking mildews may contain mycotoxins. Mold comes in literally thousands of different varieties. Only a professional assessment can determine the exact kind of spore growing in your home.

Clean-Up and Removal

If your home has a serious mold or mildew problem, attempting the cleanup job on your own can potentially make the problem worse. Cleaning mold by hand may cause the spores to travel freely through the air, which can increase the risk of health problems and actually spread the mold.
