Mold Removal
Professional mold removal from residential and commercial properties using certified containment protocols, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatments. Our IICRC-trained technicians eliminate visible mold growth and address the underlying moisture conditions that cause it.
What Is Mold Removal?
Mold removal is the process of physically eliminating mold colonies from surfaces and materials within a building. Unlike surface cleaning, professional mold removal involves containment of the affected area to prevent cross-contamination, use of HEPA-filtered negative air machines to capture airborne spores, physical removal of contaminated materials that cannot be salvaged, treatment of salvageable surfaces with antimicrobial solutions, and proper disposal of contaminated materials according to local regulations. At Union Restoration, our mold removal process is thorough and systematic. We do not simply wipe surfaces and call it done. We follow established industry protocols to ensure that mold is removed completely, the source of moisture is addressed, and your indoor environment is returned to a safe condition.
Signs You Need Mold Removal
- Visible mold growth on walls, ceilings, floors, or other surfaces
- Persistent musty or earthy odor that does not go away with ventilation
- Recent water damage, flooding, or plumbing leak, even if it appeared minor
- Discoloration or staining on walls, ceilings, or around windows
- Peeling or bubbling paint or wallpaper
- Warped or buckled flooring, particularly in bathrooms, kitchens, or basements
- Increased allergy symptoms or respiratory irritation when indoors
- Condensation on windows or cold surfaces indicating excess humidity
Our Mold Removal Process
Assessment & Moisture Mapping
Our technician inspects the property with infrared cameras and moisture meters to identify all affected areas and the moisture source.
Containment Setup
We seal the affected area with polyethylene sheeting and establish negative air pressure to prevent spore migration to clean areas.
Air Filtration
HEPA-filtered air scrubbers run continuously during remediation to capture airborne mold spores and particles.
Mold Removal
Contaminated materials are carefully removed. Salvageable surfaces are cleaned using HEPA-vacuuming, wire brushing, and antimicrobial treatments.
Disposal & Cleaning
All removed materials are bagged, sealed, and disposed of properly. The containment area and surrounding spaces are thoroughly cleaned.
Post-Remediation Verification
An independent assessment confirms that mold levels have returned to acceptable ranges and the property is safe for reoccupation.
Equipment & Techniques
Our mold removal operations utilize commercial-grade HEPA air scrubbers and negative air machines, infrared thermal imaging cameras for moisture detection, pin-type and pinless moisture meters for precise readings, industrial dehumidifiers for post-remediation drying, antimicrobial and antifungal treatment solutions, personal protective equipment (PPE) including respirators and full-body suits, and HEPA-rated vacuum systems for surface cleaning. This equipment represents the industry standard for professional mold removal and ensures that work is performed safely and effectively.
Mold is a persistent problem in South Florida due to our subtropical climate, high humidity levels, and frequent severe weather. When mold takes hold in a home or commercial property, it can spread rapidly through hidden spaces like wall cavities, HVAC ductwork, and under flooring. Professional mold removal is not a DIY project. Consumer-grade products and techniques often fail to address the full scope of contamination and can actually make the problem worse by disturbing mold colonies and sending spores into previously unaffected areas. Union Restoration approaches every mold removal project with the same rigorous methodology. We start with a comprehensive assessment that goes beyond what is visible on the surface. Using advanced moisture detection equipment, we map the full extent of moisture intrusion and identify every area that requires attention. This thorough approach prevents the common scenario where mold returns weeks or months after an incomplete removal. Our team is trained in accordance with IICRC S520 standards for mold remediation, and we maintain current training on the latest industry techniques and safety protocols. We carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, providing our clients with complete protection throughout the project.
Timeline
Most residential mold removal projects take between 1 and 5 days. The timeline depends on the size of the affected area, the type of materials involved, accessibility of the contamination, and whether structural repairs are needed. During your free inspection, we provide a detailed timeline estimate specific to your situation. Larger commercial projects or those requiring significant demolition may take 1 to 2 weeks.
What Affects Cost
Mold removal costs vary significantly based on the extent of contamination, the size of the affected area, types of materials involved, accessibility, and whether the moisture source has been resolved. We provide free, written estimates after a thorough inspection so there are no surprises. We work with most insurance providers and can help document the damage for your claim. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners.
