Proven Methods for Mold & Mildew Control
Step 1: Inspect & Test
The MoldPros will conduct mold testing of your room or space by examining indoor spaces for the presence of mold. We take air or surface samples to determine the type and concentration of mold spores. This mold testing is important to identify potential health risks and to determine the extent of the mold problem in a building. As certified and professional mold testers, we can accurately assess the level of mold contamination.
Step 2: Report & Plan
Once we have finished conducting the mold testing in your facility, we will report to you if we have found elevated levels of mold spores in various areas. These findings indicate a potential mold infestation. We will then make recommendation of any immediate remediation actions that should be taken to prevent further spreading and ensure the safety of occupants. Your MoldPros Assessment will include all associated costs and action items.
Step 3: Securing the Source
Our first course of action will be to seek out the source of the moisture that is providing the condition for mold growth. This may be as simple as sealing a number of window frames against water invasion, securing a plumber to repair leaking pipes, or a roofer to fix and prevent water from running into your home where and causing the growth of mold. We can coordinate all resources to secure your structure, improve ventilation and dehumidification.
Step 4: Physical Removal
The MoldPros employ a few methods for physically removing vegetative mold. Our most common method is using a HEPA vacuum cleaner to capture and contain mold spores from contaminated surfaces and the surrounding air. This effectively removes the mold particles from the environment. Additionally, using aqueous ClO2 to wipe away the mold can also be an effective method, as the moisture helps to prevent mold spores from becoming airborne. The MoldPros follow proper safety precautions, such as wearing gloves and a mask, when physically removing mold to avoid any potential health risks.
Step 5: Spore Eradication
The MoldPros will then employ all necessary means to ensure that the root of your fungal growth is fully eliminated. This mean an attach at the surface and another that penetrates deep into the substrates to denature and neutralize the mold spores. We will do everything with our power to completely remove the stains and odor associated with mold and mildew, though many times it will be necessary to repaint walls and ceilings to restore these to the color of the adjacent surfaces. Either way, we can secure the contractors or you can do the repainting yourself, it is entirely up to your discretion!
Step 6: Applying Protection
The final step of a MoldPros service package will generally include proven antimicrobial protection for the walls, ceilings, trim, structural members and other affected surfaces in your home or business facility.
Depending upon the porosity of the surface, we may have to first apply a basecoat sealer, but the topcoat will always be an all-natural biostatic polymer that fungi find to be uninhabitable and hydrophobic. Without a good means of anchoring and a ready means of storing and gathering moisture, the mold just can't return. Humidity control is also essential.

Water Damage & Mold Remediation Expertise
Understanding the Link Between Basement Water Intrusion and Mold Growth
Basement water intrusion is a common problem that many homeowners face, and it can lead to the growth of mold in the basement. When water seeps into the basement through cracks in the foundation or from poor drainage, it creates a damp environment that is ideal for mold growth. Mold spores are present in the air both indoors and outdoors, and when they come into contact with moisture, they can quickly multiply and spread. Mold growth in the basement can not only cause structural damage to the home but also pose health risks to the occupants, as mold spores can trigger allergies and respiratory issues. To prevent mold growth in the basement, it is essential to address any water intrusion issues promptly, such as fixing leaks, improving drainage, and ensuring proper ventilation. By understanding the link between basement water intrusion and mold growth, homeowners can take proactive measures to protect their homes and their health.
