What is Mold Remediation?
Mold is all around us, in microscopic particles that aid our environment. But when mold has access to organic material and moisture, it can be incredibly damaging to the property to the point where structural repairs are required…
Mold can happen anywhere, especially since most houses are built from naturally porous materials, like wood and gypsum (the natural mineral used to create drywall).
We’re at especially high risk here in South Florida, as a result of situations that include:
- Heavy rain
- Damp areas
- High relative humidity
- Excess moisture
- Older properties and more
The Mold Remediation Process
Although you can eyeball it in some instances, an inspection is necessary to determine which level of mold remediation is necessary and how much mold damage has occurred. Here at Rescue Clean 911, mold testing is available alongside our mold inspections.
Once we know where the mold is, the next step is remediation. The process will vary depending on the extent of the mold, its location, and other factors. Read more about our Mold Remediation Process here.

Choose Us to Take Care of Your Mold Remediation Needs in South Florida
Mold seems like it should be a minor issue. Some people even try to tackle the jobs themselves, using mold remediation DIY techniques to get rid of mildew and signs of mold throughout the property. Even those who have expert handyman skills should consider choosing an experienced disaster cleanup and mold remediation company to provide support because:
- Mold is Dangerous – Small amounts of mold are unlikely to cause danger, but mold inhalation is still unhealthy, and the worse the mold is the more it can spread.
- Bacteria May Be Present – The same conditions that lead to mold can also cause bacterial growth. Improper handling of bacteria could put someone at risk for illness and infection, especially those with compromised immune systems.
- Mold Remediation Needs to Be Fast – Because mold and mildew can spread and regrow so easily, remediation efforts need to be quick.
In some situations, a mold remediation specialist is essential. Only with the right tools and technology is it possible to eliminate both the source of the mold and the areas where it has grown the most. But even with smaller mold infestations, it is helpful to at least consider a mold remediation company to give your property the care and attention it needs.

Pro Tips about Mold:
- Potential health effects and symptoms associated with mold exposure include allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory complaints/ health problems.
- Reduce indoor humidity (to 40-60%) by venting bathrooms, dryers, and other moisture-generating sources to the outside.
- Clean mold off hard surfaces with water and detergent, and dry completely. Absorbent materials such as ceiling tiles, that are moldy, may need to be replaced.
- Fix the source of the water problem or leak to prevent mold growth.
- Prevent condensation: Reduce the potential for condensation on cold surfaces (i.e., windows, piping, exterior walls, roof, or floors) by adding insulation.
The professional dispatcher, based on the description of your problem will instruct you on how to protect yourself and your family. The technician upon arrival will assess the situation and immediately implement a plan of action. Remember passage of time in minutes + standing water = damage to personal property (flooring, carpets, electrical and furnishings) and the structure of your home (walls, ceilings, and sheetrock) and the health of you and your family could also be compromised by mold and mildew!
What is mold removal?
Mold is a microscopic fungus that is part of the natural environment and necessary for our ecosystem. While it is necessary in the outdoor world, too much mold inside a structure can be dangerous and unsanitary. Mold produces spores as part of its lifecycle, and these spores float through the air both inside and outside.
Why is mold a problem?
Many people aren’t aware that mold can cause serious structural damage to homes and businesses, which, if left undetected, can cause a property to lose value and/or require significant repairs. And if you have ever suffered from allergies, exposure to molds can often cause nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, skin irritation or even more severe reactions.
What does mold need in order to grow?
Mold needs a moist environment, temperatures above freezing and a food source, which could be leaves, paper, dirt, wood or other building materials. Mold is more likely to be found in damp, dusty spaces or areas with stagnant air.
How can I tell if I have mold?
If you see mold growth or water stains, a mold test can help identify related microbial activity. You can also look for areas where water leakage has occurred, such as roofs, pipes, ceilings or walls. Musty smells may also indicate the presence of mold.
What can I do to prevent the growth of mold in my home?
The most effective means to keep mold in check include keeping the humidity level of your home at 40–60 percent, using an air conditioner and/or dehumidifier during humid months and in damp spaces like basements, and always utilizing exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, along with dryer vents outside your home. Lastly, if there are leaks in your roof, walls or plumbing, it is important to repair them as soon as possible.
Why does mold need to be handled by a professional remediation company?
Most experts recommend a professional remediation company when elevated mold levels are detected. Remediation professionals are specially trained to isolate and treat mold-affected areas to avoid contaminating adjacent spaces.
Some molds have the reputation of being more dangerous than others. Is identifying the mold important?
Sometimes you will hear terms like “toxic mold” and “black mold” used to refer to molds. While identifying the type of fungus or mold may be interesting, it doesn’t affect the course of action. If mold is present, the CDC has strongly recommended that it be removed, no matter the type*.
Rescue Clean 911’s team of certified technicians are on-call 24/7, and will respond quickly no matter when disaster strikes. We understand how critical it is that cleanup begins as soon as possible to limit the damage to your property, and will be there as soon as possible, day or night.
