Recently Carolinas Mold Removal was called in to remove mold in Greenville and Spartanburg crawl spaces that other companies had tried to correct. Their approaches were unsuccessful because the protocols they used were not correct.
Greenville Crawl Space
This Greenville Crawl Space was remediated once with a pesticide spray but left the mold in the home.
Just spraying or fogging mold with a pesticide (borax or similar) and thinking it is killed is not a good remediation approach. Some encapsulation companies and pest control companies use this approach. Why?? They don’t want to remove the mold from your home.
FACT: Sprayed or fogged mold may be dormant but it still RETAINS its allergenic properties and if given the proper conditions can come back and grow again with a vengeance in your home. Check out the picture below.
This Greenville crawl space was treated by a national brand pest control company. Mold growth is obvious and its harmful effects still present in the home. Proper remediation will remove the mold and deal with the source of the water problem under the home. If you remediate without fixing the water intrusion problem a second remediation will eventually be necessary.
Spartanburg Crawl Space
This Spartanburg crawl space had a partial remediation without solving the water problem under the home. Result?? Another complete remediation is being done to insure the home gets rid of the mold and solves the water problem.
Hire Certified Mold Remediators
If you have mold in your home of place of business make sure you consult with a certified mold remediator. Many of the companies that don’t effectively remove mold don’t have certified mold specialist on staff. They do not want to deal with mold so they minimize it. Unfortunately it leaves the home owner with a mold infested home which may continue to be a problem and cause potential health risks!
