Mold remediation services are designed to eliminate mold in homes and businesses. A professional mold removal contractor will use a variety of techniques to clean up the area and prevent future growth. They will also make recommendations on how to prevent future mold infections in your home or office.
The most common types of mold that cause indoor air quality problems are:
- Aspergillus – This is one of the most common types of molds found in homes. It grows on food, paper products, and other organic substances, but can also grow on wood, concrete, and other materials found in homes. It produces a blackish-green substance called mycotoxins that can cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems in humans, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
- Cladosporium – This type of mold is often found growing on foods such as pieces of bread or grains, as well as on damp surfaces like window frames or walls where there has been a leak or water damage over time. It produces spores that can trigger allergies, asthma attacks, skin rashes, and sinus infections when inhaled into your lungs.
How to find mold remediation services
Mold removal and remediation is a specialized service, which means you need to find a company that is certified and insured for mold removal. You can find these companies on the Internet or in your local phone book.
To find the best mold remediation services in Baton Rouge:
- Look for certification
Make sure the company you hire is certified by an organization like the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) or other organizations that have certification programs for mold remediation services.
- Get references
Ask for references from previous clients and call them to ask about their experience with the company.
- Check out their equipment
Make sure they use HEPA vacuums and HEPA-filtered air scrubbers for air quality control during remediation work.
- Ask about insurance coverage
The company should carry general liability insurance in case something goes wrong during the process of cleaning up your mold problem — such as if one of its employees slips on a wet floor or drops a tool and damages property inside your home during cleanup work — so make sure they do before signing any contracts or paying any money upfront.
- Ask Around
Ask your friends, neighbors, or co-workers if they have used any of the companies you are considering. Ask them what their experience was like and whether they would recommend the company to others. You should also ask if they were satisfied with the price and service provided by the company. If they had any complaints or problems with their work, ask them how they were resolved.
- Look for reviews
Look at reviews online to see what other people think about a specific company's work. This can help you decide if someone is trustworthy and reliable enough to do good work in your home. However, keep in mind that some people may post negative reviews even though they were happy with their experience just because they want others to know about an experience that wasn't good or bad enough to warrant contacting the company directly, while others may post only positive reviews because they don't want anyone else from their area getting business from companies who might compete with them for business elsewhere in town.
