When mold and mildew become an issue in your home, you may be tempted to grab some bleach and a scraper and go to work. That can cause more damage. Your best option is to call in the professionals.

Mold Remediation

Mold spores are everywhere. They only become a problem when they encounter water and grow. That is when you need mold removal in Glen Cove. Once our certified technicians are called in, they do a scope to determine the moisture and mold source. Once that is done, they then get started:

• Removing water –Any moisture they find gets discarded, which is crucial to prevent mold from returning. Our IICRC trained technicians may use sponges and extraction wands at this stage.
• Wiping down surfaces– Dry sponges are used to wipe mold from surfaces. Anti-bacterial cleaners get used to remove thicker and wet layers to help break them up.
• Check for mold damage– The hyphae, or root-like structures of mold spores, can penetrate porous surface areas. Soda blasting and other agitative methods can remove the mold. 
• Using sprays or foggers to kill remaining colonies. 
• Treating surfaces– Anti-bacterial and antifungal agents are used to sanitize the area.
