Who Can Do Mold Clean Up?

A professional mold remediation company is best equipped to do mold clean up because they will have the tools, knowledge, and personnel needed to do it right the first time, so you don’t need to worry about it spreading. If you try to do mold cleanup yourself or hire someone who doesn’t handle mold removal regularly, they likely will not take all the steps needed to remove mold effectively. Any spores that are left behind can then continue to grow and spread. For this reason, it’s incredibly important to find a mold specialist who can do the work instead of settling for another type of professional.

So, how do you know if a restoration company only does water and fire clean up or if they do mold remediation as well? You can look online specifically for a mold clean up company or ask friends, family, and coworkers. Alternatively, you can reach out to the local home restoration companies on your list and ask what kind of mold removal services they offer. They should be able to tell you what kinds of clean up jobs they work on most often and what they have the people and tools to handle right now based on their existing jobs. (They may also be able to provide jobsite photos to showcase the type of work they do so you can get a sense of the quality of work they are capable of doing.) 

What you will likely find is that most companies that do water and fire clean up will also offer some type of mold clean up and removal as well because they go hand-in-hand, but you should always describe the specific issue you’re having in case it falls into a category of work that they don’t do. For instance, if you have been away for an extended time period and return home to find standing water in your basement and mold growing on the walls, a company that does mold remediation exclusively may not be able to help until the water is pumped out and the area is dried up. However, some companies have the resources to be able to assist with both the water and the mold issues to get your home back in good working order without having to contract with multiple companies.
