Mold Remediation & Removal Services in Charlotte, NC
MOLD AND MILDEW CLEANUP AND REMOVAL
Mold is a pervasive issue, often concealed beyond what meets the eye. Mold-infested areas extend far beyond the visible signs, causing damage to building materials, finishes, furniture, and even structural wood components. Moreover, it poses health risks to individuals and pets, particularly those with asthma or compromised immune systems. A mere square inch of mold growth can release over a million microscopic spores, some of which can be toxic.
For effective mold removal from your home or business, it's crucial to enlist the help of professionals. The skilled team at Best Option Restoration of North Charlotte is certified to safely remove and prevent mold in residential and commercial properties across the Charlotte, NC region.
SIGNS OF MOLD AND MILDEW
Mold growth is not always obvious, and sometimes you may notice it through musty or unpleasant odors rather than visible signs. In certain cases, mold may remain hidden, but occupants may suffer from mold allergies, frequent health issues, or flu-like symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, skin rashes, aggravated asthma, and, in severe instances, illness.
While testing for mold is often unnecessary due to the absence of standardized "acceptable" indoor mold levels, it's recommended to have professionals assess the damage. Allocating resources toward remediating the mold problem is a more prudent approach than costly testing. Even if you decide to tackle the issue independently, involving experts such as the industrial hygienists at Best Option Restoration of North Charlotte can provide insights into the extent of the problem, which is typically more extensive than meets the eye. Mold thrives in hidden, inaccessible spaces like wall gaps, ducts, crawl spaces, and basements. Best Option Restoration of North Charlotte technicians possess the experience and expertise to locate the source and all affected areas.
LOCATING THE SOURCE
Visible mold is just the tip of the iceberg. To effectively address mold issues, identifying the source of moisture is paramount. Failing to rectify the moisture source will lead to recurring mold problems. Sources of moisture can range from leaky pipes and faulty seals to natural disasters like flooding. The professionals at Best Option Restoration of North Charlotte excel in locating these sources.
Once the moisture source is identified, our team diligently identifies all affected areas with mold growth and water damage. Comprehensive mold remediation involves removing or thoroughly cleaning all impacted areas using industrial-strength products approved by the AIHA, CDC, and EPA.

While attempting DIY mold cleanup might seem cost-effective, it often falls short.
