Mold grows anywhere there is moisture, warmth, and organic material -- and it can start within 24-48 hours after water damage. Common household mold species include Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, and the notorious Stachybotrys (black mold).
Ultra Water Damage Restoration performs mold remediation following IICRC S520 standards. We contain the affected area to prevent cross-contamination, remove mold-contaminated materials, HEPA-vacuum all surfaces, apply antimicrobial treatments, and verify the remediation with post-testing.
Mold remediation costs range from $1,500 for a small contained area to $10,000+ for extensive contamination across multiple rooms. Crawl space mold remediation typically runs $3,000-$8,000. Post-remediation testing ($300-$500) verifies successful removal.
Do not attempt to clean mold yourself with bleach -- it does not kill mold on porous surfaces and can spread spores. Professional containment and HEPA filtration are essential for safe, effective remediation.
What We Offer
- IICRC S520 compliant procedures
- Full containment with negative air pressure
- HEPA air filtration throughout process
- Antimicrobial treatment application
- Post-remediation clearance testing
- Source moisture elimination
Our Process
Assessment
We inspect the affected area, identify the mold species and extent, locate the moisture source, and create a remediation plan.
Containment
Plastic barriers and negative air machines isolate the work area. HEPA filtration prevents spore spread to unaffected areas.
Remediation
Contaminated materials are removed and bagged. All surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and treated with antimicrobial agents. Air scrubbers run continuously.
Verification
A third-party lab tests air and surface samples to verify mold levels are at or below normal. We provide the clearance report.
