Read MoreMold Remediation/Removal
Mold remediation or removal is the process where mold is meticulously removed from surfaces through various equipment and methods. Due to possible health and safety hazards, it must only be performed by professionals.
At Action 1 Restoration, we believe in a structured remediation process. We begin with identifying the source of the fungal growth, then proceed with addressing the issue from there. Usually, molds are caused by an accumulation of water which made its way into the building through cracks on walls and ceilings. Without properly identifying this issue, the mold problem will never come to an end.
While the mold is being removed, spores are released into the air in significant quantities. Thus, our team makes sure that the affected area is completely isolated from the rest of the building to prevent further dispersion of these airborne contaminants. We also use High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to continuously purify the air as we work towards mold removal.
And to ensure sanitary standards, our team is likewise mandated to wear appropriate clothing and gear throughout the mold remediation process.

Types Of Mold
Mold comes in a variety of colors, and can bring about different effects on people and property. Knowing this can guide inhabitants in performing the precautionary steps necessary to prevent it from spreading. The following are the common types of indoor mold: cladosporium, aspergillus, and stachybotrys atra. Cladosporium appears as a greenish or brownish mold which often grows on painted surfaces. This type of mold is non-toxic, but it is known to cause allergic reactions like rashes and watery eyes.
The light-colored aspergillus is the most common indoor mold type. It is both an indoor and outdoor hazard, since it can grow on a variety of items, ranging from rotten fruit to the inside of air conditioning systems. This mold triggers allergies, and may even cause respiratory conditions to those who inhale its spores.
Another common mold is the stachybotrys atra. Otherwise known as the black mold, it is considered as the most unsightly of indoor molds. But aside from causing nasty stains, this type of mold also produces dangerous mycotoxins – highly toxic elements which can lead to neurological damage. These molds thrive on humid surfaces like under kitchen counters and moist wood.
