Mold Remediation in PA & MD

Professional Mold Remediation Company of PA & MD

Mold remediation is a meticulous process that requires expert handling. Improper remediation can lead to mold spores spreading throughout the property, making the problem even worse. Choosing Mason-Dixon Restoration ensures that the job is done right, with a focus on safety and thoroughness.

Our mold remediation process includes:

1. Mold Testing & Mold Inspection: We conduct a full inspection of the property to identify visible mold and locate moisture sources. We also perform mold testing to determine the type and extent of the infestation.
2. Containment: To prevent mold spores from spreading, we isolate the affected area using plastic sheeting and tape. Negative air pressure may also be used to control the spread of spores.
3. Air Filtration: We use HEPA filters and air scrubbers to remove mold spores and improve air quality throughout the property.
4. Mold Removal: Our team removes mold from non-porous materials with specialized cleaning methods. In some cases, porous materials like drywall or carpet may need to be removed and replaced.
5. Restoration and Prevention: After removal, we identify the moisture source causing the mold growth and repair any water damage. Preventative measures such as waterproofing and regular inspections ensure mold doesn't return. A final inspection and air quality test confirm the space is safe and clean.

Who Pays for Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation can often be covered by your homeowner's insurance if the mold damage resulted from a sudden, accidental event such as a burst pipe or flooding from a water heater leak. However, if the mold growth is due to neglect or lack of proper maintenance, you may be responsible for the cost of remediation. It’s important to have a professional like Mason-Dixon Restoration assess and document the damage to help maximize your insurance coverage.
