Important mold remediation information

  • Mold grows quickly: Mold needs only moisture, temperatures above 40°F, and organic material to survive. Moisture is very common in places such as attics, basements, and crawl spaces, while the wood and drywall in your home offer plenty of organic material. Mold can grow in 24-48 hours, preferring areas with no sunlight, limited airflow, and little disruption.
  • Cleaning visible mold is not enough: Mold can grow in fiberglass insulation, on top of ceiling tiles, inside ducts, behind drywall panels, in wall cavities, and behind wallpaper. Even when it's visible, it's often difficult (even for an expert) to tell the difference between mold, soot, and dirt without testing. More importantly, the mold you see is likely a sign of a bigger problem you can't see.
  • Mold removal requires professional equipment and training: We use a variety of state-of-the-art equipment to identify sources of moisture, dry wall cavities, and safely remove mold. Samples of the mold may be analyzed in a laboratory to identify potentially toxic strains, and special cleaning agents may be used to restore the property. Because mold can spread easily and requires special cleaners and equipment, we strongly recommend that you don't try to remove mold yourself using bleach or other household chemicals.
  • Mold impacts property value: Mold issues can dramatically lower the value of your home; Any house with significant mold problems will be difficult to sell. Mold can even cause serious, expensive structural damage. Getting a mold inspection prior to selling your home or purchasing another can help identify and prevent serious issues behind the wall.

Our mold removal process

At ALS Property Associates, Inc, our priority is to provide you a safe, healthy home. Our complete mold removal process is designed to eliminate all existing mold in your home and ensure that you're protected from regrowth. Our process includes all of the following:

  1. Mold testing: It's important to identify if you have mold, and if so, what type of mold you have. By testing potentially affected areas, we can recommend the best solution for your needs.
  2. Identify the extent of the damage: As mentioned above, the visible mold is usually a sign of a more significant problem. We'll remove drywall and insulation to discover the extent of the damage so that you know how serious an issue your home has.
  3. Remove affected materials: Mold can easily spread when disrupted, which is why it's important to have professional mold removal. We quarantine the area and remove carpet, drywall, insulation, and any other materials that have mold growth. This ensures that the mold doesn't spread.
  4. Treat the area: Once materials are removed, we treat the entire area with chemicals to kill any remaining mold and prevent regrowth. Depending on the type and severity of the mold, there are different options available.
  5. Restore your home: After all mold has been removed and the area is treated, we can return your home to normal. It's important to address any water or humidity issues as part of this process before replacing drywall, insulation, and carpet.

Mold remediation to prevent regrowth

At ALS Property Associates, Inc, our team specializes in both mold testing and mold remediation, uses only top-quality equipment, and always follows the industry standard of care. We have worked with countless clients that suffer from mold toxicity directly and/or from being highly sensitive to mold. At ALS Property Associates, Inc, we understand the health implications potentially caused by mold exposure and work hard to follow the proper protocols to prevent cross-contamination to other areas of your home.

How it works:

  1. Our team completes a free on-site mold inspection and consultation. This includes a visual inspection and reviewing any previous testing reports.
  2. We look over the visible signs of microbial growth along with other areas of the home to identify the source of the mold issue.
  3. Once testing has been completed, we look over all results and discuss our findings with the client.
  4. Finally, we develop a mold remediation plan together to properly remediate the mold issues. This can include corrective action to prevent future microbial issues.

Our team always builds containment of the workspace and creates negative pressure in the remediation area to prevent cross-contamination with other areas of the home. We utilize HEPA Air Scrubbers to scrub the air of particulates in the remediation work area along with other areas to improve overall indoor air quality.

Long-term protection against mold & poor air quality

Post and pre-remediation air testing can be set up with ALS Property Associates, Inc. We will work cohesively with testing companies to make sure everyone is on the same page and achieving the best possible results.

ALS Property Associates Inc. always makes the health and safety of our clients a priority and works hard to not only remediation but improve the indoor air quality of your entire home. In addition to mold remediation, we offer countless indoor air quality products to help maintain indoor air such as:

  • Dehumidification systems
  • Air purifiers
  • HVAC filters/UVC lights
  • Energy recovery ventilators
  • And more!

While many signs of mold are visible to homeowners, damage can be hiding in the walls, floors, ceiling, or any surface that is not completely moisture-resistant. Only during the mold remediation process is the full extent of the damage revealed. Check out these examples of mold we've found on previous job sites.

Mold can hide behind drywall and plant miroscopic roots deep into the porous material. Interiors of walls are especially affected because of the cool, dark environment.
Wood easily absorbs moisture from the air, which quickly encourages the growth of mold. Since wood is biodegradable, mold quietly eats away at it until it may fail altogether.
Windowsills can collect moisture as they are repeatedly exposed to rain and humidity, making them hot spots for mold. Many are made of wood as well and can warp out of shape as mold degrades the material.
