Mold Remediation

Microbial infestations (bacteria) and/or mold (fungi) can quickly make a home or a business no longer functional, a health hazard, and extremely costly.

Mold spores are everywhere, present both indoors and outdoors. The presence of small, isolated patches of mold is generally not cause for alarm, but extensive mold growth can signify an issue. Mold thrives in areas with high humidity and spreads when its spores settle on damp surfaces. Often, mold growth remains inconspicuous until its adverse effects surface. In certain circumstances, mold has the potential to compromise the body's immune system. It emits a distinctive musty odor and releases toxic chemicals that can exacerbate allergies and pose health risks to certain immunocompromised individuals.

Water damage left unchecked can take its toll. If your home or business has been exposed to the elements because of a fire, flood, or plumbing emergency, your home should be inspected immediately by a mold remediator. It's important to catch mold damage as soon as possible to avoid possible foreclosure or thousands of dollars in home rebuilding and remodeling costs.

Mold remediation can involve a complete structural repair and rebuild of the affected areas, and should only be done by mold remediation professionals. Leading insurance companies in Northeast Ohio know who to call in the event of a mold emergency: Integrated Restoration.
