Understanding Mold Remediation

Understanding Mold Remediation - Professional restoration overview by Total Care Restoration

Mold is more than ugly—it's a health risk. Florida's heat and humidity make mold grow fast. Our IICRC-certified team finds, contains, and removes mold.

We do more than remove what you see. We fix the moisture problem so mold won't come back.

Mold grows on wood, paper, carpet, and drywall. In Florida, it can start in 24-48 hours. That's why fast action and humidity control matter.

We follow strict IICRC and EPA rules. We seal off areas to stop spores from spreading. We use HEPA filters and antimicrobial treatments. After we're done, we test to make sure it's gone.

Why Act Fast

Mold spreads fast in Florida's humidity. A small spot can become a big problem in days. Mold causes breathing issues, allergies, and asthma—especially bad for kids, seniors, and those with weak immune systems. Small mold areas cost less to fix than large ones.

Health Risks

  • •Respiratory problems and breathing difficulties
  • •Allergic reactions including sneezing, runny nose, and red eyes
  • •Asthma attacks and worsening of existing conditions
  • •Skin irritation and rashes
  • •Headaches and fatigue

Common Causes of Mold Growth

  • Water intrusion from roof leaks or plumbing failures
  • High humidity levels (above 60%)
  • Poor ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens
  • AC condensation and drainage issues
  • Flooding and water damage not properly dried
  • Leaking windows and doors
  • Condensation on cold surfaces
  • Damp basements and crawl spaces
  • Improperly vented dryer exhausting humidity indoors
  • Overwatering of indoor plants
  • Wet clothing left in washing machines
  • Insufficient insulation causing condensation on walls

Mold Remediation FAQs

Get answers to common questions about our services in your area.

While often used interchangeably, there's an important distinction. Mold removal refers to physically removing mold from surfaces. Mold remediation is a comprehensive process that includes identifying all mold growth (including hidden mold), containing the affected area to prevent spore spread, removing contaminated materials, cleaning and treating remaining surfaces, addressing the underlying moisture problem, and preventing future growth. True remediation solves the problem long-term, not just temporarily.
Professional remediation is recommended when mold covers more than 10 square feet, mold is in your HVAC system, you smell musty odors but can't find visible mold, mold returns after DIY cleaning, anyone in your home has respiratory issues or allergies that worsen indoors, or mold appeared after flooding or major water damage. If you're unsure, a professional inspection can determine the extent of the problem and whether professional remediation is needed.
Coverage depends on the cause of the mold. If mold resulted from a covered peril like a burst pipe or storm damage, remediation is typically covered. However, mold from long-term leaks, poor maintenance, or humidity issues is often excluded. Some policies have specific mold coverage limits or exclusions. We recommend reviewing your policy and contacting your insurance company. We provide detailed documentation to support your claim when mold is from a covered cause.
Most residential mold remediation projects take 1-5 days, depending on the extent of contamination and areas affected. Small, contained areas may be completed in 1-2 days, while whole-house remediation or HVAC contamination can take a week or more. This includes containment setup, mold removal, cleaning, drying, and air quality verification. We provide accurate timelines after inspection and keep you informed throughout the process.
Black mold typically refers to Stachybotrys chartarum, a greenish-black mold that grows on materials with high cellulose content like drywall, wood, and paper. While media coverage has created concern about black mold specifically, the CDC and EPA indicate that all molds should be treated the same way—removed promptly by professionals. Some people may be more sensitive to certain mold species, but safe handling and complete removal is important regardless of mold color or type.
Properly performed remediation with moisture source correction typically prevents mold from returning. Mold needs moisture to grow, so addressing the underlying water or humidity issue is essential. We identify and help you correct moisture sources as part of our remediation process. If moisture problems recur—such as a new leak or inadequate humidity control—mold can return. We provide guidance on maintaining proper humidity levels and addressing moisture issues to prevent recurrence.
Before remediation begins, remove or cover personal items not in the affected area to protect them from contamination during the process. You may need to vacate during remediation, especially if you have respiratory conditions, allergies, or are immunocompromised. Clear access pathways for workers and equipment. Our team will provide specific preparation instructions based on your situation. During the process, keep windows and doors closed in non-affected areas and turn off HVAC if directed.
Post-remediation verification is an important step in professional mold remediation. We can arrange third-party air quality testing to verify successful remediation. Post-remediation clearance testing compares spore counts in the remediated area to outdoor levels and unaffected areas. Clearance documentation provides peace of mind and can be important for real estate transactions or insurance purposes. For larger or more complex projects, third-party testing by an independent industrial hygienist is recommended.
