Mold remediation is a complex and essential process that should only be performed by a licensed and experienced company like Water Extraction Team of Cleveland. If not handled properly, mold spores can spread throughout your property, worsening the problem. Our process includes:

1. Mold Testing & Mold Inspection: We start with a thorough inspection to identify visible mold growth and the moisture source causing it. Mold testing will also assess the type and extent of the mold.
2. Containment: To prevent mold spores from spreading, we isolate the affected area using plastic sheeting and tape and may employ negative air pressure.
3. Air Filtration: Using HEPA filters and air scrubbers, we purify the air, removing mold spores and other harmful particles to maintain air quality.
4. Mold Removal: Depending on the materials involved, we either clean non-porous materials or safely discard and replace porous items like drywall and carpeting. We use antimicrobial agents to eliminate mold.
5. Restoration and Prevention: After removing the mold, we address the source of the moisture. This may involve repairing leaks, improving ventilation, or waterproofing areas to prevent future mold growth. We also conduct final air quality testing to ensure a safe, mold-free environment.

Mold remediation is typically covered by homeowners insurance if the mold damage results from a sudden and accidental event, such as burst pipes, water heater leaks, or flooding. However, if the mold growth is due to neglect or lack of property maintenance, you may be responsible for the costs of remediation.

The cost of mold remediation in Cleveland varies depending on several factors. On average, remediation costs range from $2.50 to $20 per square foot, with the final price influenced by:

• Extent of Mold Infestation: Larger, more severe mold problems will require more extensive remediation, thus increasing the cost.
• Type of Mold: Some mold types, like black mold, require specialized techniques and equipment, raising the cost.
• Location of Mold: Mold in hard-to-reach areas such as crawl spaces or attics can increase labor and equipment costs.
• Source of Moisture: Identifying and fixing the moisture source may add additional costs, such as plumbing repairs.
• Material Contamination: If building materials like drywall or flooring are contaminated, they may need to be removed and replaced, further increasing the price.

At Water Extraction Team of Cleveland, we handle all types of mold, regardless of severity or location. We have the expertise and equipment to remove any type of mold from your property, including:

• Stachybotrys chartarum (Black Mold): Known for its potential health risks, black mold thrives in areas with prolonged water damage and high humidity.
• Penicillium: Often found on water-damaged materials, this mold can be blue, green, or white and may pose health risks if inhaled.
• Aspergillus: A common indoor mold, some species of Aspergillus produce mycotoxins that can be harmful.
• Cladosporium: This widespread mold appears as dark green to black spots and can grow on various surfaces like walls and carpets.
• Alternaria: Found in damp areas like kitchens and bathrooms, Alternaria appears as dark green to brown spots and is an allergenic mold.
