Mold Remediation

Mold remediation is a comprehensive approach to resolving mold issues within a property. Unlike mold removal, which focuses solely on eliminating visible mold, remediation addresses the root cause, including moisture control and repair. This process not only removes existing mold but also implements strategies to prevent future growth, ensuring a lasting solution to mold problems.

• Visible Mold Growth: Seeing mold patches, often black, green, or white, on walls, ceilings, or floors.
• Musty Odors: A persistent musty smell is a strong indicator of hidden mold.
• Water Damage: Recent water damage, leaks, or high humidity can lead to mold growth.
• Health Symptoms: Experiencing allergic reactions, respiratory issues, or other health symptoms when in the building.

Our Mold Remediation Process

1. Initial Assessment: Our experts conduct a thorough inspection to identify the extent of mold growth and its source.
2. Containment: To prevent cross-contamination, affected areas are isolated.
3. Mold Removal: Using advanced techniques and equipment, we carefully remove all traces of mold.
4. Moisture Control: We address the underlying moisture issues that led to mold growth.
5. Restoration: Damaged materials are repaired or replaced, restoring your space to its original condition.
6. Final Inspection and Testing: We conduct a final inspection and testing to ensure all mold has been successfully remediated.
   

The cost of mold remediation varies based on the extent of the mold, the size of the affected area, and the required repairs. We provide transparent pricing with detailed breakdowns following our initial assessment. While costs can range widely, our focus is on offering cost-effective, thorough solutions to protect your health and property.

While there are numerous types of mold, a number of them can produce allergens that trigger an allergic reaction in people who are affected by mold. Other molds are known to produce potent toxins and irritants. These health concerns are important reasons to treat existing mold growth and to take corrective measures to prevent it from returning.

The people at the highest risk of becoming sick from exposure to mold are infants, children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with respiratory conditions.

While there are no regulations yet established in Connecticut, Anthony's Abatement adheres to the standards set forth by the EPA as well as the states of New York and California, which historically have had the strictest regulations.

Our employees have attended training in mold remediation and are closely monitoring this still-emerging field to detect innovations that are being implemented in work procedures.

Our mold removal specialists know the right methods to use. We will provide the skills and equipment necessary for mold remediation. Most often walls and ceilings are removed for access; we then thoroughly disinfect mold growth on underlying structures with an EPA-approved anti-microbial solution. We apply EPA approved anti-fungicide coating and conduct thorough air scrubbing procedures throughout. Following the completion of the remediation, an independent air test is completed by a licensed industrial hygienist.

There are over 100,000 species and they exist everywhere, both inside and out. For most people most of the time, small amounts don’t cause serious harm. But when certain types become concentrated in the sealed-up environment of a home, they take advantage of moist, warm areas and flourish.

While you certainly can scrub and kill small colonies yourself, such as in shower grout, anything larger than a few square feet needs to be handled by a professional mold remediation company. This ensures your safety by preventing the colony from releasing spores into the air that could harm your health. It prevents rot of wood, drywall, carpet and padding, and other organic materials that colonies feed on.

Certified specialists like us also ensure that all remnants are removed; if they are not, they can go dormant when the area is dry, and regenerate when moisture comes back.
