At Elite Restoration and Construction Inc., we often encounter homeowners who have attempted to tackle mold removal on their own. While the DIY approach is suitable for many home improvement projects, mold remediation is not one of them. Here’s why professional intervention is crucial when dealing with mold in your home or business.



Health Risks

Mold exposure can lead to serious health issues, especially for those with respiratory problems, allergies, or compromised immune systems. Disturbing mold colonies during removal can release spores into the air, which can exacerbate health problems. Without the proper safety gear and removal techniques that professionals use, you might unknowingly put yourself and others at risk.

Ineffective Removal

Mold is not just about the visible growth you see on the surface. It often penetrates deep into materials like wood, drywall, and insulation. DIY methods typically address only the surface mold, leaving behind hidden colonies that continue to grow and spread. Professionals use specialized equipment to detect hidden mold and remove it thoroughly, ensuring the problem is completely eradicated.

Potential for Greater Damage

Attempting to remove mold yourself without understanding the proper techniques can lead to more extensive damage. For instance, overly aggressive scrubbing or using the wrong cleaning agents can damage the surfaces in your home, leading to costly repairs. Professional mold remediators know how to remove mold safely without causing additional damage to the structure of your home.

Misidentifying Mold

Not all mold is created equal. Different types of mold require different handling and remediation strategies. Misidentifying the type of mold can lead to ineffective treatment, allowing it to continue thriving. Elite Restoration and Construction Inc. employs experts who can correctly identify mold types and determine the most effective treatment plan.

Liability and Insurance Issues

For property owners, especially those owning commercial properties, DIY mold removal can lead to liability issues. If a tenant or visitor to your property becomes ill due to inadequate mold removal, you could be held responsible. Moreover, some insurance policies require professional mold remediation to cover related damages. Failing to comply with these terms could result in denied claims.
