Mold Remediation Process
Mold thrives in places with high moisture levels. Our mold remediation process ensures that all mold is thoroughly contained or removed.
We’ll make sure to sanitize all affected materials and areas. Keep in mind that our pros may have to remove any moldy areas and repair spaces where moisture has caused significant structural rot or that can’t be properly dried.
First, your local Rainbow Restoration professionals will carefully inspect your space to create a comprehensive approach to remediation. Our approach may vary based on the following factors:
- What caused the mold
- Extent of mold damage
- Condition and type of surface affected
Our six-step mold remediation process includes:
- Inspection: Our technicians will arrive on site to detect the presence of mold and identity the source of the issue. Then, we’ll create a customized plan to address the problem.
- Containment: The affected area will be contained to prevent cross-contamination.
- Air filtration: A technician will use HEPA filters to clean mold spores and other contaminants in the air.
- Removal: Mold soaks deep into personal belongings and other materials, so it’s important to throw away porous items to ensure that mold does not linger. Keep in mind that nonporous items can be sanitized with antimicrobial cleaners.
- Structural drying: Repaired and cleaned materials will then be dried to prevent future mold growth.
- Reconstruction: Lastly, we’ll reconstruct and repair any affected areas with specialized tools and equipment.

Mold Risks to Watch For

- Irritated nose, eyes, throat, and lungs
- Trouble breathing
- Cold and/or cough symptoms
Mold exposure also affects certain groups of people more:
- Young, old, and those with underlying health conditions
- People with asthma
- People with seasonal allergies
Mold Growth Causes and Factors
Humid climates provide the ideal conditions for mold to grow and thrive. Some of the most common causes of mold growth include:
- Indoor plumbing leaks
- Water damage from flooding
- HVAC system issues
- Roof or window leaks
- High levels of indoor humidity
Additionally, there are several factors that influence why mold grows in certain areas:
- Building age: Older properties are more susceptible to broken windows and door seals, leaky roofs, plumbing problems, and inadequate ventilation.
- Ventilation issues: Both newer and older buildings are vulnerable if they have poorly constructed HVAC systems or don’t use the proper preventive maintenance protocols to control humidity.
- Building materials: Certain materials found in buildings (e.g., drywall, particle board, and plywood) are more likely to have mold issues.
Thankfully, your local Rainbow Restoration can properly inspect your space and remediate any water damage or other issues to control mold growth, help protect your investment, and prevent any liability issues.
Control Moisture Levels to Prevent Mold
It’s extremely important to control property moisture levels to prevent mold from developing and flourishing. Keep your eyes peeled for any plumbing problems, water leaks, or areas with high humidity and potential for mold.
Implementing effective moisture management techniques can help with better controlling and stopping mold growth. Water leaks, for example, can produce hidden pockets of dampness that can lead to mold if not treated promptly. This means that regularly inspecting your building for any signs of water leakage can help with creating a mold-free space.
Similarly, ensuring that your property is getting the proper ventilation is another great moisture control technique. Adequate airflow can help with decreasing the accumulation of moistness and stop wet areas from forming. This can be done by opening windows, inserting exhaust fans in moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms, and installing a dehumidifier to monitor humidity levels.
Likewise, basements and crawl spaces are especially susceptible to mold due to the high humidity there. We also recommend inserting a dehumidifier in these spaces to help eliminate excess moisture and reduce the risk of mold developing.
Fortunately, our mold remediation technicians can help control moisture levels by identifying the source of the mold problem, whether that’s from a water leak or something else.
