Mold Removal & Remediation

Mold and mildew grow in damp, humid places — which pretty much describes South Florida. Just being here puts our homes or businesses at a greater risk of developing a mold problem, that is why testing is always a good idea. Of course, if you’ve experienced any kind of water damage (leaky pipes, leaking windows, flooding, etc.) that risk is even higher.
Once we have determined there is a problem we can quickly remove and remediate the problem!

What To Do If You Suspect Mold

Mold releases microbial spores that get into the air and from there into your eyes, throat, and lungs. These spores cause a wide variety of respiratory problems, especially in those with asthma or allergies. They are also invisible, which makes them impossible to detect without proper equipment. Your family may already be suffering ill effects from mold spores without even seeing any mold in your home.

If you suspect that you have mold or have experienced any amount of water damage, call Steamaster Restoration LLC and we’ll send one of our mold remediation specialists to evaluate your property.
Our specialists are specifically trained in mold detection, and once the source of mold is found and removal begins, they also take remediation measures to prevent mold growth and spreading.

Mold Remediation Services

It’s not enough to just remove the mold. In fact, removal can often cause spores to become airborne. After we’ve removed the mold we begin our remediation process: purifying and disinfecting the air and surrounding areas using HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) air scrubbers and air exchange. Every mold infestation is different — from the type of mold to the quantity. Steamaster Restoration LLC provides custom mold removal and remediation services to ensure your house or businesses is mold-free and healthy. Call us at 888-247-1911 to schedule your mold inspection and free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to your queries

What is mold?
Molds are fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors. No one knows how many species of fungi exist but estimates range from tens of thousands to perhaps three hundred thousand or more. Mold grows best in warm, damp, and humid conditions and spreads and reproduces by making spores. Mold spores can survive harsh environmental conditions, even dry conditions that do not support normal mold growth.
Where is mold found?

Mold is found in virtually every environment and can be detected indoors and outdoors, year round. Mold growth is encouraged by warm and humid conditions. Outdoors it can be found in shady, damp areas or places where leaves or other vegetation is decomposing. Indoors, mold can be found where humidity levels are high, such as basements or showers.

Most often, however, it is found in the following places:

Wallpaper and drywall
Ductwork and ceiling tiles
Carpet, drapes and furniture
Attics, basements and crawlspaces
Books and magazines (anything made of paper or organic material)

How to identify mold in your house?

Two ingredients are needed for mold or mildew to grow. These include oxygen and moisture. With these two prevalent ingredients being available nearly everywhere, it should be no surprise that mold grows abundantly in many places. Mold spores are in the air and attach to moisture. Then if conditions are right, and high levels of moisture remain, the mold will grow.

In homes and offices, common places for mold to grow are kitchens and bathrooms where even a small drip can create an environment for mold to thrive. Leaks or condensation in HVAC systems or on ductwork can create mold problems along with any moisture that gets in the walls, ceilings or under floors.

Since we are exposed to mold and mildew nearly every day, small doses do not generally pose a problem. However, mold impacts people differently. Children, the elderly, asthma sufferers, and those with allergies are more susceptible to having reactions to the presence of mold. This can show itself in the form of respiratory issues that often resemble flu-like symptoms.

Is mold a health hazard?

Yes. Mold spreads by releasing spores into the air, which can contribute to serious health complications. Besides causing eye and skin irritation, spores can be inhaled and cause allergic reactions and respiratory illness, which can be deadly for people with weak immune systems such as infants and the elderly. Inhaled mold spores can also cause asthma attacks.  

What does a mold test involve?
Mold is detected using a digital moisture meter and/or an infrared camera. These devices measure the amount of moisture contained in a specific spot such as a wall or an area of your floor. Mold often leaves a water stain, smell, or actual growth areas that are visible to the naked eye, but if the outbreak is not easily visible, a mold cleanup specialist from ARC will conduct an air sampling test, which detects the presence of airborne spores.
