Mold doesn’t just look unpleasant, it can become a serious health and safety issue if left untreated. Mold spreads quickly, weakens building materials, and may trigger allergies, asthma, or other respiratory symptoms.
That’s why professional mold remediation matters. If you’ve discovered visible mold in your home or business, True Restore is the trusted local team ready to remove affected materials, clean the area safely, and help restore a healthier living environment.
Why Mold is a Serious Problem
Mold thrives in damp, dark areas and can begin spreading within 24 to 48 hours. Beyond staining walls or creating unpleasant odors, mold spores can become airborne and circulate throughout your home.
Prolonged exposure has been linked to headaches, persistent coughing, and worsened allergy or asthma symptoms. Mold can also damage drywall, flooring, insulation, and HVAC components. The longer mold is left untreated, the more extensive and costly remediation can become.
How to Spot Mold (and when to Call the Experts)
Visible mold, including spots, discoloration, or fuzzy growths, is the clearest signal that immediate action is needed. Musty or persistent odors, repeated allergy flare-ups indoors, or discoloration on walls and ceilings point to a potential problem. When mold is visible, it’s something we can address right away. Our team will assess the area, remove contaminated materials, and restore the space safely.
Non-invasive tools can help locate damp areas that may hide mold, but the only way to confirm mold behind walls or under floors is to open and inspect those assemblies. Air quality or spore-count tests can confirm mold spores are present, but they do not show where the mold is located. Therefore, testing is useful in some cases, but it’s not a substitute for a visible inspection and removal when mold is apparent. For lingering odors or airborne concerns when mold isn’t visible, we can offer optional ozone treatments to remove odors and to potentially kill airborne mold spores.
Our Mold Remediation Process
At True Restore, our mold remediation process is designed to be safe, efficient, and effective. We begin with a visual inspection to identify areas of visible mold and determine how far the contamination has spread.
Once identified, the affected area is contained to prevent spores from spreading to other parts of the property. Damaged materials are removed as needed, and all remaining surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
Professional-grade drying and air filtration equipment are used to restore safe indoor conditions. Most mold remediation projects are completed within one to three days, depending on the size and severity of the issue.
Important: Depending on when a home was built, lead or asbestos testing may be required before certain materials can be removed. If testing is needed, we’ll help coordinate certified testing and begin remediation once results are received.
