Inspection

Our team searches your property for visible mold and that pesky mold hidden in areas using special technology that isn't visible to the untrained . We then collect samples and send them off for mold testing in a lab to determine the mold type.

Prevention

If mold is detected, it's important to prevent it from spreading to other areas. We isolate the affected area using negative air chambers and other physical barriers. By containing the mold we're able to effectively take measures to eliminate it.

Air Scrubbing

We use HEPA filters and powerful vacuums to scrub the indoor air. The goal being to match the spore levels indoors to the outside spore levels. This step helps remove contaminants and improves air breathability.

Materials Removal

If intensive cleaning can't save building materials such as insulation, wallpaper, drywall, or carpeting, we dispose them. We also we apply antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to all other contaminated structures to prevent further mold issues.

Cleaning
Process

Using wet, dry, foam, abrasion, and immersion cleaning (depending on the material), we bring your contaminated items back to their pre-damaged condition. In addition, we use fogging to get rid of that musty smell associated with mold infestations.

Restoration Process

We use new building materials to replace anything damaged. We may need to rebuild entire rooms or simply replace components like drywall panels, wallpaper, or carpeting. Our work is only finished when there is no visible traces of mold.

Final Air Quality Test

We wrap up the entire process with another air quality test. To ensure that the mold spore levels in the affected areas inside the building and equal to or less than those outside. And that's it, your building is now mold free once again. You now have clean air!

What is Mold Removal & Remediation?

Mold removal and mold remediation are often used interchangeably, but they actually refer to distinct processes. In most cases, when people use either term, they are usually referring to both mold removal and mold remediation. This involves both halting or reversing the harm caused by killing and altering the mold, and physically extracting it from the affected area.

Which Molds Types are Bad for Your Health?

With more than 100,000 types of mold and fungi, inhaling spores from any of them in high concentrations can negatively impact your health. While some molds are mild and don’t pose any significant harm, others can be extremely hazardous to your health, as you would learn at a professional mold remediation training. Six mold families, in particular, are allergenic, toxigenic, and/or pathogenic, making them particularly problematic.

Mold spores are present in every breath we take, indoors and outdoors, and their concentration is crucial. If the same type of mold reaches an extremely high concentration, the air becomes toxic, whereas a lower count results in fresher air, such as in mountain areas or out at sea. Ultimately, reducing the mold spore count per cubic meter over the long term is the goal and outcome we achieve at SpeedTek.

Molds can be classified into three categories, including allergenic, pathogenic, or toxigenic. Molds can possess one, two, or all three of these traits, and how our bodies respond to them depends on our individual immune systems and genetic makeup. As with any factor that impacts our health, the reactions of our bodies to different types of mold can vary.

Allergenic Molds

These molds are responsible for inducing and triggering allergies and allergic reactions, such as asthma attacks. Symptoms can appear swiftly and only affect those who are susceptible to allergies, as is typical with any allergic reaction. Regardless it's never a good idea to not treat this type of mold even if you're not effect by it.​

Pathogenic Molds

The molds that cause disease and infection are known as pathogens. Mold can lead to chronic sinus infections, or sinusitis, in addition to infections like yeast infections, bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, pneumonia, and thrush. Thankfully, these infections are quite rare for individuals with robust immune systems.

Toxigenic Molds

These molds are capable of generating VOC or in other words mycotoxins. They have negative effects on everyone. Inhaling them is the same as inhaling smoke, aerosol sprays, or gasoline fumes. For those with severely compromised immune systems, they can be fatal. And harmful to even the healthiest individuals.

The 6 Types of Mold Likely Making You Sick

Below are the six most common molds that are likely making your sick and how we deal with them.

Stachybotrys

Remove and discard the damaged materials that cannot be salvaged by ripping and tearing them out. Stachybotrys is aggressive and high toxic so this is the only real solution.

Chaetomium

Dry ice blasting is generally used since it leaves zero residue as the dry ice pellets turn into gas. Typically, this approach is employed on concrete, brickwork, and attics.

Aspergillus

This is a less aggressive mold so wiping the mold away works. Once the mold is wiped away we can then paint over the affected area bring the conditional back to a pre-damaged state.​

Fusarium

After the mold removal process once the mold is dead. The remaining molds are harmless. So wiping the mold away and painting over is the general process for Fusarium.

Penicillium

Like Fusarium, Removing every last bit of Penicillium is not essential as the remaining mold poses no harm. So materials don't need to be ripped out. They can be painted over.

Alternaria

Again, like the last two. There is no need to rip out materials and do an total renovation. Once the mold has been killed. The mold is harmless. It can be wiped away and the area painted over.

Why Is Removing Mold Important?

Dark and damp corners create the perfect environment for mold growth, which can endanger health and safety. Given that mold is a type of fungus, it produces spores to propagate. Inhaling high levels of these spores can be detrimental to one’s health. This is why it’s crucial to eliminate mold.

Outlined below are crucial factors that highlight the dangers of mold to human health and emphasize the need to remove them. Understanding these factors can help you gain a better understanding of why it is essential to take mold remediation seriously.
Mold can grow in both indoor and outdoor environments, and prefers shaded areas free from direct sunlight which can hinder its growth. When it grows inside homes, it can be especially problematic as areas such as bathrooms, cupboards, and wardrobes can be susceptible to mold growth due to a lack of direct sunlight. Moisture is the key factor in mold growth, so they can also flourish on ceilings, floors, carpets, and unused clothes. Mold can thrive in both warm and cold temperatures. If excessive moisture is present, growth and reproduction can occur in less than 48 hours.
As previously mentioned, molds generate spores to reproduce and establish new colonies. These spores are minuscule and can be inhaled by both humans and pets. When the spores penetrate deep enough into the lungs, they can result in respiratory problems including asthma. Additionally, molds produce allergens, inhalation of which can induce an allergic reaction in individuals who possess sensitivity towards these allergens. Mold thus poses potential health risks.
While not all types of mold pose a threat to human beings, there are many different varieties, and it is impossible to differentiate the harmless types with the naked eye. That is why it is wise to remove any mold from your home or workplace promptly. As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry.
The most effective way to prevent mold from entering your home is by implementing the following measures: regulating moisture, repairing any leaks, preventing condensation and maintaining a comfortable room temperature that is not too hot or too cold. Further, consistently cleaning and drying wet or damp areas is also essential in preventing mold growth in your home.

If mold is present within your home, it is essential to promptly contact a mold inspector and removal professional. This can help keep both you and your pets safe from potential health hazards. Employing the services of a certified mold inspector ensures that mold colonies in your home are handled efficiently, even in difficult-to-detect areas. Professional mold removal services also prioritize your safety, and certified individuals or companies will wear protective gear such as goggles, gloves, and respirators, so you need not worry.

If you run a business or live in Clearwater, FL or anywhere in Pinellas County. And are in need of mold removal services, look no further than SpeedTek for safe and professional remediation.

Keeping your home or commercial environment free from mold growth is crucial for maintaining proper hygiene and good health. Exposure to mold can cause various health concerns and impact the aesthetic appeal of your property. Due to the humid climate, mold growth is a common issue in Florida. Investing in mold inspection can help identify any invisible mold and prompt action should be taken as soon as any visible mold is identified. This will minimize potential health risks while ensuring your property always looks aesthetically pleasing.
