Mold Remediation and Removal Services in Colorado Springs, CO

When mold spores land on a surface where moisture is present, mold may then start to grow. Growing mold may damage the surfaces it breeds on and can threaten the structure of your home. In addition to your home, certain molds have been linked to serious health conditions. Mold remediation requires specialized knowledge and equipment that most general contractors are not qualified to perform. Best Option Restoration of Colorado Springs is certified to deal with potentially hazardous molds that could be causing you harm.

MOLD AND MILDEW CLEANUP AND REMOVAL

Best Option Restoration of Colorado Springs offers professional mold remediation services to home and business owners along the Front Range.

The amount of damage that mold can do shouldn’t be underestimated. It is capable of harming the structural integrity of your home or business and can cause severe health issues in some people and pets. Left unchecked, mold will ruin furnishings, fabrics, wood even the structure of your home or office!

Just one square inch of mold growth contains more than a million microscopic spores! Mold penetrates areas that are not always easy to see, such as inside walls, basements and crawl spaces. It usually takes special equipment in order to get the full scope of the mold damage.

In cases of mold, it is recommended you get professional assistance to determine the type of mold and extent of the damage, as well as for the subsequent removal and repairs. Best Option Restoration of Colorado Springs is certified in mold remediation and well prepared to help you get rid of it and return the affected area to a safe environment.

Indications You Have mold or mildew

Mold and mildew is not always easy to spot. However, It is safe to assume that by the time you do see the mold, you are only seeing a small part of the problem.

Signs You Have Been Exposed to Mold

You notice a musty or mildewy smell
Symptoms of allergies appear, such as sneezing
Dry and/or red eyes
Stuffy nose
Skin rash
Shortness of breath

If you are experiencing the above symptoms, you may have a mold issue and should have a professional inspection done.

LOCATING THE SOURCE

Best Option Restoration of Colorado Springs makes use of the latest mold remediation technology when identifying the source of the moisture. Locating the source is arguably the most important step in the process. Once that has been determined and repaired, we begin the remediation process.

The next step is to find all of the mold and mold damage. This includes all of the obvious signs, as well as the mold that is hidden. We then isolate it to prevent further spread of the spores.

Our team takes great care to disturb the mold as little as possible. With up to 1 million spores per square inch of mold, it is vital to have experienced professionals handle this.

Remediation

After all of the mold has been located and isolated, the removal process begins. Removing all of the mold and mold spores is necessary to prevent the problem from returning. Our specialized equipment, including HEPA vacuums, proprietary cleaning agents and fungicide, and air cleaners are used to accomplish this.

There is a common misconception that using bleach is enough to kill the mold. Many people make this mistake and try to handle the mold removal on their own, and are surprised when the mold soon returns. Having the mold remediated by the professionals at Best Option Restoration of Colorado Springs will stop the cycle of mold growth in your home or business.

There are also guidelines for the proper disposal of the mold and mold damaged items that our technicians are well versed in. Best Option Restoration complies with the requirements and guidelines set forth by the CDC, the EPA, and AIHA.

No, Mold Won’t Go Away On Its Own

Because of the dry climate of Southern Colorado, you might think that your mold issue will resolve itself. However, this simply is not true. It isn’t normally outside factors causing the mold in the first place, but some unknown hidden source, such as a leaky pipe, a hairline crack in your irrigation system, a dripping faucet, or a source hidden away inside your walls, for example, that are the source of the moisture that has lead to mold growth.

While it might be something that can easily be ignored to deal with “later on”, it is in your best interest to get it taken care of now. The longer the issue is ignored, the more damage, and expense, will occur. Basically, the longer you wait, the more money it will cost you in the end.
