Mold spores exist everywhere; however, when mold spores are present in large quantities, they can present a health hazard to humans, potentially causing allergic reactions and respiratory problems.  Mold issues are usually found in damp, dark areas where there is poor ventilation.  Common issue areas are basements, crawl spaces, air ducts, and attics.  Symptoms include discolored walls or ceilings, visible mold growth, musty odor, and water damage to the property.  Environmental is a professional mold remediation & removal company in

Air duct mold is a common occurrence in the summertime due to the hot humid weather in the Mid-Atlantic.  Home owners often are forced to run their air conditioning units day and night to keep their homes comfortable.  Unfortunately, this excessive use often creates excess moisture that comes into contact with the humid summer air, which creates the perfect environment for mold growth.  Mold in air ducts can pose a serious health threat if left untreated because mold becomes airborne and will be circulated throughout the home.  Environmental Mold Control is a professional air duct mold removal company in

Mold in attics is a common occurrence during the summer months, due to the area's high humidity levels. Mold in attic's can occur for a variety of reasons, all of which result in remnant moisture which creates the perfect environment for mold to grow and thrive. When air conditioning units in attics, which are common in single family homes, run during the summer months, there is often air seepage from unsealed areas in the duct work or unit itself. This cold air comes into contact with the hot, moist air in the attic which creates condensation. Other common causes are leaky roofs, faulty ridge vents, and no or broken attic exhaust fans. All of the above should be checked and resolved as soon as possible to cure the underlying issue. Environmental Mold Control is a professional attic mold removal company in

Our basement & crawl space black mold remediation program is a comprehensive 5-step program that will clean and remove existing mold, make the area safe again, and prevent future mold from returning.  We begin the mold removal treatment by utilizing an air scrubber with a HEPA air filter to purify the air from unsafe levels of mold. We then treat and remove any visible mold using chemical applications and a HEPA vacuum as needed. Then, we will treat the entire contaminated area with a mold removal treatment that will "knockdown" all mold in the air and also will protect the treatment area from any mold regrowth. Lastly, it is recommended a dehumidifier be installed to maintain proper humidity levels moving forward. As with all mold issues, it is imperative that any underlying causes of moisture are fixed. Common issues such as cracks in foundation walls, leaky windows, broken sump pumps, clogged gutters and downspouts are all issues that will result in excess water, excess moisture, and ultimately create the perfect environment for mold to be able to grow.
