PROTECTING YOUR HEALTH
WHY IS MOLD REMEDIATION NEEDED?
A significant mold outbreak can harm your home and health. Mold spores can lead to severe allergic reactions for many people. Furthermore, mold actively consumes surfaces, compromising your home’s integrity, leading to structural issues. Early mold remediation can save money in the long run and safeguard your family’s health.
It is important to understand the difference between mold removal and remediation. Mold remediation, unlike mold removal, removes the mold and corrects the root cause of the issue to prevent its recurrence. Opting for mold remediation provides a comprehensive and effective solution to eliminate future problems and expenses.

How It Works
MOLD REMEDIATION PROCESS
1. Identifying Mold
How do you know if you have mold? You can usually see or smell a mold problem. Mold can appear as slightly fuzzy, discolored, or slimy patches that increase in size as they grow. Most molds produce musty odors that are the first indication of a problem. Some mold problems are obvious and don’t require an inspection. Sometimes mold is not easily identified and further investigation into the area in question can be performed by either an experienced mold remediation company or inspector.
2. Mold Remediation Plan
Alpine’s experienced mold remediation experts can assess your mold issue and develop a scope of work with options and pricing to remediate the mold and correct the underlying cause. If a mold inspector has already developed a mold remediation plan, Alpine can submit pricing for the work plan provided. What is important in either situation is to identify and correct the underlying cause in addition to removing the mold.
3. Mold Remediation Work
Alpine’s crews will isolate the contaminated areas to prevent the toxins from escaping while remediation is in process. Our team is experienced in mold remediation techniques that include dry ice blasting, application of fungicides, and cleaners and other means of removing mold. Our methods can include non-toxic botanical solutions. Alpine carpenters can then correct the underlying conditions and restore the areas damaged by mold.
4. Mold Clearance Inspection
Although not required, Alpine recommends a 3rd party clearance inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is mold such a concern?
While some molds are harmless, others can release toxins leading to health problems such as asthma, sinus congestion, headaches, and coughing. Additionally, the presence of mold signifies it is actively deteriorating the surface it’s growing on. If left untreated, mold can cause structural damage to walls and floors over time.
What causes mold to grow indoors?
Excess moisture in buildings, particularly during closed-window seasons, fosters mold growth. Factors like high groundwater, poor drainage, plumbing leaks, and high humidity lead to mold in basements, while inadequate ventilation or insulation can also cause mold in attics and living spaces.
Why is being vigilant for mold so important?
Timely detection of mold is pivotal in stopping a minor issue from escalating, and regularly monitoring mold growth is essential to preventing it from proliferating further. Without finding and correcting the source of the problem, mold and mildew will continue to grow.
What is the process for removing mold?
If mold is detected, porous materials like sheetrock must be replaced while wood, with only surface contamination, can be treated with disinfectants, fungicides, or ice blasting. Proper removal procedures, including hiring CMR-certified professionals following industry standards, are essential to prevent the spread of mold contamination.
Is removing mold enough?
Simply removing mold without addressing the underlying cause almost guarantees its reappearance. To achieve lasting success, the root problem must be rectified. For basements, this involves resolving drainage or groundwater issues and installing a dehumidification system, while attics require steps to ensure proper insulation and ventilation.
