Mold Remediation and Cleanup Services

Valley Restoration provides professional mold remediation services in Sun Valley, addressing the root cause of your mold problem and restoring the impacted areas of your home.

Stop Mold Growth for Good

Mold is a common problem in homes, but that doesn’t make it easy to eliminate. Within just a few short days, mold can degrade your interior air quality with toxins, allergens, and sores. If left untreated, mold spores can cause structural damage and affect the respiratory health of everyone in your home.

If you see signs of mold in your home, or if you took an air quality test that detected the presence of mold, contact Valley Restoration for professional mold remediation services. Our expert team can identify the source of your mold problem, deodorize and sanitize the air, remove the mold, and restore the health of your home.

What Causes Mold to Grow?

Mold spores are everywhere—in the air we breathe, on the surfaces we use, and inside old buildings and even new homes. When mold grows excessively or uncontrollably, problems can arise. Mold typically has five growth requirements:

1) Material to feed on. Think paper, wood, natural fibers, even soil.
2) Moisture or high levels of humidity. A leaky roof or pipe, flooded areas, and HVAC systems are all apt environments for mold to grow.
3) Moderate temperatures, especially between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
4) Stagnant air. Basements and rooms with poor ventilation are common places to find mold.
5) Time. Mold will start to germinate and grow as early as 24 hours after finding a moisture source.

Our Mold Remediation Process

Inspect the Mold

Our professionally trained technicians will assess your mold problem. We may look for and address any sources of water damage that caused the mold to develop.

Contain the Mold

Given mold’s tendency to spread, our team isolates the mold by closing the contaminated area and using negative air pressure, preventing its growth.

Remove Mold

After containment, we use specialized techniques to carefully remove the mold and any permanently damaged items.

Set Up Air Filtration

Our team uses professional HEPA filtration systems and vacuums that trap and remove mold particles from the air, reducing the risk of inhalation.

Clean Affected Areas

We then deep clean all surfaces and belongings impacted by the mold, ensuring all spores have been cleared.

Restore Damaged Property

If repairs or replacements are necessary – for example, if part of a wall or floor was removed in the mold removal stage – our technicians will begin the reconstruction process.

FAQs

How long does it take for mold to grow?

Mold can begin germinating within 24 hours of encountering a moisture source in the right conditions. From there, mold spores can colonize within a few days to a week and become visible in under one month.

Can I clean up mold myself?

For this question, we refer to the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommendations for mold cleanup. You should hire a professional if your mold issue meets one of the following conditions:

The mold spans more than 10 square feet
You believe your HVAC system is contaminated
The mold was caused by sewage, contaminated water, or water damage

When in doubt of how to clean up mold, contact a mold remediation service. If you have symptoms of mold exposure, contact a healthcare professional.

How long does mold removal take?

The time it takes to remove mold can vary depending on the size and extent of mold damage. Typically, mold removal and remediation take 1-10 days.

How much does mold removal cost?

Generally, mold removal professionals charge around $10 to $25 per square foot. If you’re removing mold from a 100-square-foot area, you can expect to pay around $1,000 to $2,500. Keep in mind that factors like where the growth is and the mold type can affect how much it costs to remove it.

Valley Restoration offers a free estimate of costs before starting the mold removal process. We also provide direct correspondence and billing to insurance companies for accurate reimbursement.

Can you stay in the house during mold remediation?

While it depends on the severity of the mold growth, it is usually not recommended to stay in a house while mold is being removed. The remediation process can release mold spores into the air, which can be harmful to your health if inhaled.
