Our 4-step process for safe mold removal
Inspection & Moisture Detection
We begin by identifying the extent of the mold growth and use specialized equipment to locate the source of the moisture that is feeding it.
Containment & Air Filtration
To prevent cross-contamination, we seal off the affected area with plastic barriers and use HEPA air scrubbers to capture airborne mold spores during the removal process.
Mold & Contaminated Material Removal
Our technicians safely remove all mold-infested porous materials, such as drywall and insulation, and clean non-porous surfaces with antimicrobial treatments.
Final Cleaning & Post-Remediation Testing
After the removal, we thoroughly clean the area and can coordinate with a third-party hygienist for post-remediation testing to verify that the mold has been successfully eliminated.

Common mold remediation questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I just clean the mold myself with bleach?
We strongly advise against this. Bleach is not effective on porous surfaces like drywall and can release dangerous mold spores into the air. Professional remediation is the only safe and effective method.
Is all black mold the dangerous "toxic black mold"?
Not necessarily. While some types of Stachybotrys chartarum ("black mold") can produce mycotoxins, many other common molds are also black. Any type of mold, regardless of color, should be professionally removed to protect your property and health.
What causes mold to grow in a house?
Mold needs only three things to grow: a food source (like drywall or wood), darkness, and moisture. The most common cause is an unresolved water issue, such as a slow roof leak, a plumbing leak, or high humidity.
How long does the mold remediation process take?
The timeline depends on the size of the affected area, but a typical residential mold remediation project in The Triangle Area often takes between 2 to 5 days to complete.
Does my homeowner's insurance cover mold remediation?
Coverage for mold can be tricky and depends on your specific policy and the cause of the mold. If the mold is the direct result of a covered event (like a sudden pipe burst or a storm-damaged roof), it is often covered. We can help you review your policy.
