Mold Remediation & Removal Services in North Atlanta, GA
MOLD AND MILDEW CLEANUP AND REMOVAL
Mold can manifest as a pervasive issue, often extending beyond what meets the eye. It can inflict damage on building materials, finishes, furnishings, and even the structural integrity of wood. Furthermore, mold can lead to health problems, particularly for individuals with asthma or compromised immune systems. Astonishingly, just one square inch of mold growth can harbor over a million microscopic spores, some of which may be toxic.
Managing mold removal in your home or business necessitates the expertise of professionals. At Best Option Restoration of North Atlanta, our trained and certified experts specialize in safely removing and preventing mold in residential and commercial properties throughout the North Atlanta, GA region.
SIGNS OF MOLD AND MILDEW
Mold growth can sometimes be visually apparent, but not always. In instances where you cannot see mold, you might detect a musty or unpleasant "mildewy" odor. Mold can also remain hidden but trigger health issues such as mold allergies, flu-like symptoms, skin rashes, and worsened asthma in residents.
It is advisable to have professionals assess the extent of the damage rather than conducting mold tests, which can be expensive and often unnecessary. Channeling resources towards mold remediation proves to be a more effective use of your resources.
Even if you plan to address the issue independently, consulting professionals like the industrial hygienists at Best Option Restoration of North Atlanta will provide a more accurate understanding of the extensive mold damage, often more extensive than what meets the eye. Mold tends to thrive in hidden, inaccessible areas like wall spaces, heating ducts, ventilation systems, crawl spaces, and basements. Our technicians possess the expertise to locate the source and identify all affected areas.
LOCATING THE SOURCE
Visible mold represents only a portion of the problem. Identifying and rectifying the source of moisture is crucial, as it is where the mold issues originate. Failing to address the source will result in recurring mold problems. The moisture source could be a leaky pipe, a damaged seal, or even a faulty connection to household appliances. Mold can also result from natural factors like flooding, rain, snow, and ice. The experts at Best Option Restoration of North Atlanta excel in locating and addressing these moisture sources.
Once the sources are identified, we meticulously identify all areas with mold growth and water damage. To effectively remediate the mold issue, all affected areas must be either removed and disposed of or meticulously cleaned with industrial-strength products approved by reputable organizations such as the AIHA, CDC, and EPA.

BEST OPTION RESTORATION OF NORTH ATLANTA SAVES YOU TIME
While attempting DIY mold cleanup may seem cost-effective, it often falls short. Household cleaning agents are not always effective at eradicating all mold spores, and the moisture source may remain unidentified. Moreover, hidden mold-damaged areas are left untreated, leading to recurring issues that demand repeated cleaning and the purchase of various, sometimes harmful, chemicals.
