DARK CORNERS

Mold grows best in dark spaces, which means that it hides out in tough-to-reach places. You rarely see mold out in the open. Instead, it grows in corners, behind walls, in attics, and in basements. That’s why you might go a long time before noticing the problem. By the time you do notice, you’ve got a major problem on your hands. It’s also the reason why mold is so tough to remove. You have to find all the mold before you can get rid of it.

APARTMENT SAFETY

Mold grows when water activates mold spores. Once moisture activates mold, that mold will grow until you put a stop to it. Unfortunately, the only way to stop mold growth is to remove every lastspeck of it. If you leave any mold behind, it will keep growing until you have a major problem again and have to start right back at square one. Even worse, cleaning the mold can actually create more mold if you’re not careful. When you disrupt mold, that mold releases more spores into the air. This can harm your health as you breathe in those spores. It can also create a new mold problem if water activates those spores. You may think you’ve gotten rid of the problem, but you’ve really just moved it to a different spot.

ASSESSMENT

First, of course, we have to find the mold. You can show us where you first spotted the mold, and we’ll figure out just how far that mold has spread. Like we said, you have to get rid of all the mold to keep the problem from coming back. The good news is that we know all of the places where mold likes to hide. It can’t run from the professionals. Once we’ve figured out how much mold you have in your house, we can estimate how long with rest of the job will take. If you’d like, we can keep you posted on the process.

CLEANING

Next, we clean. However, this isn’t an ordinary cleaning process. We use premium, specially formulated cleaning solutions that stop mold in its tracks. Our cleaning tools can reach into corners and other tight spaces where mold can hide. When AFTERDISASTER-Metrolina removes mold, we get rid of all of it the first time.

REMOVAL & REPAIR

Sometimes, mold embeds itself into your walls and other structures. In that case, we’ll have to remove and replace those structures. With walls, for instance, we can remove and replace plaster that mold has destroyed.

MOISTURE REMOVAL

If you have a persistent moisture problem in your house, you’ll only end up with more mold. For the homes that need it, we provide expert moisture removal to keep the problem from coming back.

Between all of the dangers and challenges that come from mold, you shouldn’t attempt to get rid of it yourself. Instead, look for a highly-qualified professional team who can get the job done.
