Mold remediation is never fun, but working with the right mold remediation company who will clearly explain the mold remediation process to you, provide quality work that solves your mold problem, guarantees their work, and develops a schedule to accommodate your needs will provide you with the best experience possible.
What Is the Difference Between Mold Remediation and Mold Removal?
The basic difference between mold remediation and mold removal is that mold remediation gets rid of the mold and corrects the source of the mold problem, while mold removal simply removes the mold. If you correct the underlying issue that is causing the mold, the mold will not return. Mold remediation methods include removal of contaminated materials, dry-ice blasting of mold growth, and cleaning with special mold-inhibiting liquids.
If you simply remove the mold without correcting the underlying issue, the mold will return.
Mold remediation will cost more up-front than simple mold removal, but it will have a lasting effect. Mold removal is likely to cost more in the long run because you will need to continually pay to have the newly formed mold removed. We think you will agree that mold remediation is the best approach for solving your mold problems.
Why Is Mold Remediation Necessary?
A major mold outbreak can ruin your space and your health. Most people know mold spores are a major allergen, and if left unchecked, they can cause severe allergic reactions. However, not as widely known, mold actively grows by feeding on wood, sheetrock, roofs, and other surfaces. Therefore, over time, the mold will actually eat away at the integrity of your building and can lead to structural failures. Mold remediation performed at the first sight of mold can save you a lot of money in the long run and keep those who enter your building healthy.
What Does Mold Remediation Cost?
The cost of mold remediation largely depends on the size and complexity of the job. However, other things that factor into the cost include the qualifications and guarantees of the mold remediation company. At Alpine Environmental, our mold remediation crew are full-time employees, fully trained, licensed, covered by workers’ compensation, and insured for environmental liability. Our mold remediation work is covered by a six-year limited warranty and is transferable to the next owner of the property. Therefore, when you are getting quotes for mold remediation, it is important to make sure that the source of your mold issues is rectified so the mold does not return, and that the company is licensed, insured, follows all safety procedures, and guarantees their work. Quotes that do not include all of these items may cost less up-front, but leave you with an ongoing mold problem and unexpected expenses that will cost more in the long run.
Depending on the scope of mold remediation needed, you may also need some restoration work. Working with a mold remediation company that can also complete your restoration work, like Alpine Environmental, may be more cost-effective and reduce your headaches by working with one company instead of multiple companies.
