“Mold Removal” vs. Mold Remediation

What’s the Difference?

Mold has been called "Mother Nature’s great recycler." People say this because mold and fungi are a critical component to our natural environment. 

Mold turns dead things back into dirt. 

But this can also be a problem; when mold problem areas occur in our homes and businesses we don't have some interesting aspect of our environment. 

Our team at SERVPRO of Delray Beach confronts mold where it shouldn't be, in your home and business. And we address mold with precision and skill and the right tools. Our team is IICRC trained to make sure we address your issue the first time. 

Throughout the greater Delray Beach area, including West Delray Beach, Highland Beach, Kings Point, and Lake Ida, many homes and businesses have mold hidden beneath the surface. Let us help!

Understanding Mold

When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic, float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
