Mold Removal

Mold! it’s everywhere … and most of the time it does not present a problem. However problems with indoor mold start when it is found in excessive amounts. Mold if left unattended can affect the air quality of the indoor environment.

The most effective way of preventing mold is not to have a chronic water infiltration issue such as a roof leak, incorrectly installed bathroom vent fan, or improper ventilation in your attic. Another common cause of mold growth is the improper mitigation of a water intrusion. Many homeowners believe that they can handle a small or medium size water intrusion event themselves, with a home shop vacuum. In such a case, although the standing water may be removed, the unseen moisture is what can lead to mold growth. In almost all cases Absolute Interior can professionally dry the structure and return it to pre-loss condition in two to four days. Absolute Interior will provide you with a free estimate.

Not all moulds are toxic in nature; but they require the following in order to grow:

• Food (wood, insulation, drywall backing, dust etc)
• Oxygen
• Moisture
