Mold Removal and Mold Remediation Dallas, TX

Mold Facts

Our Mold Removal and Cleanup Process in Dallas, Texas

The mold removal and restoration process is a multifaceted one that may even involve other companies; however, it’s not out of the scope of our mold assessment consultants’ expertise to handle the whole problem in the house. This avoids having to undergo the long and tedious process of sending samples to labs and waiting for results – all while people are being put at risk daily.

The first step in the de-molding process is identifying what exactly the substance is. While there are many grimy, unpleasant looking things that have the appearance of mold, many are in fact not.

Here’s a small sample of substances commonly mistaken for mold by untrained professionals:

• Old Paint Splatters
• Black stains
• Pollen
• House Dust
• Sprayed Insulation
• Sap

Additionally, not all molds are equally dangerous. While it may be tempting to panic as soon as the substance is identified as mold, it’s important to keep in mind that many molds black in color are not the infamous “black mold,” and that most molds don’t pose any risk of death. Cleaning them is important, but you will extremely likely not die as a result of coming into contact with them.

After the identification process has been completed, our technicians will begin a treatment process that includes lots of scrubbing with specialized tools, as well as the use of high-grade biocides.

While the word “biocide” may seem scary, we use top of the line chemicals with no significant threat to residents or workers of your property. The biocides only remove mold spores and kill bacteria, ensuring that it won’t come back later down the line. They require no evacuations or serious biohazard protective suits.

Our trained, friendly, experienced staff are more than willing to be as transparent as you need to be comfortable and explain every step of the remediation process.

Common Areas that Mold Grows

Dallas, Texas is an exceptionally humid region of the United States. That, combined with the extreme heat, provides ideal conditions for spores to settle, fester, and become colonies of mold. In most cases, the fungal spores will stick to colonizing and feeding on organic materials, including the following :

• Paper
• Wood
• Drywall
• Food
• Furniture
• Dust

However, it’s possible for mold to colonize other surfaces, such as the interiors of vents, the panes of showers, and the corners of frequently humid rooms. It’s very important to spot mold growth early on and remove it before it causes any adverse health effects.

Mold Inside Water Damaged Walls

Extreme weather events are unfortunately not uncommon in the DFW metroplex. We ourselves have had bad experiences with our friends and family’s properties suffering severe water damage as a result of flooding, as well as other storm-related incidents. In these cases, it’s very common for water to pool and stagnate on the inside of your walls or even in the space beneath your house.

In these instances, severe damage will be caused if left unchecked, including runaway mold infestations that span the entire interconnected network of your building. Our professional technicians can get in, clean up the mess, and get your property back on the road to recovering from such a devastating event, as we know that there is a slew of problems associated with severe water damage aside from mold.

Mold in Bathrooms

Everybody loves to take long, luxurious, hot showers. However, not everybody has heavy-duty enough vents in their bathrooms to handle the copious amounts of steam produced during showers. Because mold loves warm, wet places, it’s extremely common for spores to start festering and colonizing the walls, corners, and ceilings of bathrooms.

In many cases, this mold can go from an unsightly nuisance to a huge problem quickly and unexpectedly. If the mold damage spirals out of control, it will absolutely constitute a serious health and safety threat to your house. Our mold cleanup process will ensure the complete elimination of any molds, and the professional-grade chemicals we apply will also keep them from reappearing in the future.

We also recommend getting the vents in your bathroom cleaned for two main reasons. Firstly, the presence of mold in your vents could pose a threat to your entire heating air conditioning, as spores love to use air ducts as highways. Secondly, if your vents are clogged, it could be exacerbating the mold damage by making the ventilation less efficient, thereby increasing the humidity for long periods of time.

Moisture Accumulates

The accumulation of moisture is a serious problem in many people’s ductwork. If moisture persists for too long in your duct system, it will form droplets that eventually collect in stagnant puddles. These puddles present the perfect breeding ground for new species of molds and bacterias, and the air blowing from your HVAC ducts system provides the locomotion for them to travel around your property.

More than just stagnant water and mold, if your air ducts are insulated, the presence of water indicates that the insulation material may be compromised. If this is the case, your ducts need to be entirely replaced, as simply wiping or drying the material does not restore its insulative abilities.

Leak From a Damaged Pipe

Similar to water damage on the inside of your walls, a pipe can become leaky or broken, creating an ideal environment for mold to grow and fester. While a plumber may be able to fix the leak, they won’t be able to handle the outbreak of mold.

If left unchecked, the mold will grow, spread, and become an extreme hazard, possibly leading to major structural damage to the building. Worry not, Fox Duct Dallas is more than capable of handling the threat at any stage of its development. If you’re worried about the potential that a leaky pipe may be causing mold problems, call us now to schedule a technician to take a look – it may just save you down the line.
