Fort Wayne Mold Remediation
Our IICRC-certified team strives to always deliver expert solutions in the most professional and ethical way possible.
Mold can affect any commercial or residential property at any time of the year, especially if you recently had water damage or leaks. You might have a mold problem and not know it! Mold will grow and spread in optimum conditions (typically warm, humid indoor climates), leaving you with not only an annoyance but also a situation that could be potentially hazardous to the health of occupants. In fact, more people are being diagnosed every single day with mold-related illnesses, and something called Chronic Inflammatory Disease, due to mold exposure.
The Truth About Mold
Want to know the most common misconception about "black mold" and, well, really every type of mold? Contrary to popular belief, mold can grow at any temperature, any time of year. It does not need a hot, sticky climate to wreak havoc within a building – although those conditions certainly do breed mold spores quickly. Our skilled and trained crews will get your residential or commercial property back to the condition it was in before the mold damage, guaranteed. Here's our promise to you:

Frequently Asked Questions
Anytime the moisture levels in your home are at 60% or higher, mold can grow. What's frustrating for many property owners is that they don't see a puddle on the floor or water dripping from the ceiling. When mold grows, the source of the moisture is usually hidden under floorboards or behind walls.
It could be. Because mold spores are microscopic and airborne, you'll end up breathing them into your lungs. Depending on the type of mold and how well your immune system functions, you may develop some serious health symptoms that could end up being the result of mold. That's why a mold remediation company takes mold removal so seriously. The space affected by mold is isolated and contained during cleaning so the spores won't spread to other areas of the house, and the remediation team stays suited up in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the process.
For most surfaces in your home, bleach won't eliminate your mold problem. It's the "iceberg effect." Visible mold is usually a small percentage of the actual amount of mold growth. Bleach can't kill mold on porous surfaces like wood, and while tile or fiberglass surfaces can be cleaned with bleach, often the mold has spread far deeper. The reason why mold remediation companies don't recommend DIY cleanup isn't that they want to make more money; they know, in their experience, that a mold problem is usually far more invasive than can be seen with the naked eye. Simply cleaning the surfaces can provide false assurances that you got rid of the mold, only to have it come back time and time again.
Sometimes mold remediation is included if the cause of the mold was a "covered peril" like a burst hot water heater or water damage caused by firefighters extinguishing a fire in your house. Gradual water damage - like from a leaking pipe or hose - will often cause mold growth, but your insurance coverage will usually not cover that by claiming that it was caused by poor maintenance or neglect. If your insurance company denies your claim, you should request an inspection from a mold remediation company that can help you document the source of the mold.
If the inspection/assessment process was able to pinpoint the source and cause of the mold growth, once that source is repaired, you can be relatively confident about the success of remediation. Ask if your restoration technician has the IICRC certification for "Applied Microbial Remediation." You can also request a "post-remediation mold clearance" from a third-party mold inspector to re-test the area for any remaining traces of mold before the area is treated with a sealer or encapsulant to resist future mold growth.
