Mold Inspection, Testing & Mold Removal Services in Berkeley
What is mold?
Mold is a type of fungal growth that is comprised of tiny spores, 250,000 of which can fit on the head of a pin. There are over 100,000 species of mold, some of which are very harmful to your health. In just 60 seconds, your lungs can inhale over 700,000 spores. There are 3 strains of black mold that are toxic and extremely dangerous. They are Stachybotrys, Acremonium and Memnoniella. They grow best on water- saturated cellulose such as wood but can grow anywhere with damp, warm air. They appear slimy when wet and have white shadows around the edge. If you notice this type of mold, you should vacate your property immediately and call certified Mold Removal Technicians from our team to assess, treat and remove the infestation.
Where is mold?
A mold infestation can be obvious or it can be lurking behind walls or underneath appliances – the hidden variety is even more dangerous due to its silent and unseen harmful effects. A lot of people notice health problems before they see the mold growths. This is precisely the correct time to call us for a mold assessment.
Think of all of the places in your home with cellulose, wood or other similar types of materials. What these places have in common is that they represent the perfect homes for mold, which loves fibers that become engorged with water and moisture – these are the places you should keep checking for mold and direct our technicians to inspect. Also think of places like the back of cupboards and the walls next to external airways or damp spots, like bathrooms. Nowhere is safe from mold, but some places are more vulnerable than others.
Black Mold Remediation Service
If you or our technicians suspect an outbreak of black mold, it can be confirmed with inspection and testing. This involves our technicians taking a small sample of the growth and using the information from the results to apply an appropriate remedy. Using professional mold removal fluids, according to the spore sample results, our technicians can use the precise combination of active ingredients to kill or “denature” the mold. This means removing the live function of the mold, which effectively kills it and renders it unable to spread further. The cleaning and containing aspect will follow, where measures can be taken to remove the now harmless mold remnants.
