Mold remediation encompasses identifying and addressing mold issues in a structure. Mold remediation prevents the spread of mold by isolating damaged areas, removing affected material and eliminating moisture sources – the cause of the mold – in order to reestablish a healthy environment.
What is involved in mold remediation?

Mold grows quickly in dark, damp places such as basements, attics, and crawl spaces. Under the right conditions in these ares mold can grow very quickly, causing health risks and potential structural damage.
