When it comes to mold remediation, appearances can be deceiving. A company might have great reviews online, but that doesn’t always mean their work follows professional standards. Without the right protocols, you could be left with hidden risks long after the job is “finished.”
What Proper Mold Remediation Should Look Like
Professional mold remediation isn’t just about removing visible mold. It’s a detailed process that should always include:
- Full containment to prevent cross-contamination
- Use of proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators, suits, and gloves
- Air filtration devices (HEPA filters) running throughout the job
- Safe removal and disposal of affected materials
- Proper cleaning and post-remediation verification
If any of these steps are skipped—or if crews aren’t even wearing the right PPE—it’s a clear sign that corners are being cut.
The Dangers of Cutting Corners
When mold remediation isn’t done properly:
- Mold spores can spread to other areas of the home
- Occupants may continue to experience health issues
- Moisture problems may not be fully addressed, leading to future growth
- Insurance claims related to the damage could be denied
In short, improper remediation doesn’t just waste your money—it puts your property and your health at risk.
