Previously A+ Cleaning & Restoration, Defender Water & Mold Restoration is owned by Kevin Ricke and Tra Griffin. Defender is the #1 Authority in water/mold remediation services, has completed over 8,500 projects/inspections, and is a veteran owned and operated company. Kevin Ricke is a Vietnam Vet (Navy) and has been in the restoration industry for over 45 years. He's owned/operated all types of home service businesses ranging from carpet cleaning to plumbing services. To say Kevin is an expert is an understatement; there's nobody in the state of Alabama that has his knowledge when it comes to water/mold restoration. Tra Griffin served in the Marine Corps Infantry with two combat deployments to Iraq. In the civilian world, Tra spent time running operations for an INC 5000 franchise as well as overseeing operations, maintenance and renovations for a nation-wide SFR Property Management Company.

"This business was prompt, efficient and knew just what to do and how to do it. Will definitely call Cheaha Home Solutions again!"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Mold can begin growing in as little as one to two days after your ceiling has been exposed to water. Mold grows and spreads quickly and can cause serious health problems. Always ensure areas with leaks are fully dried out, and any damaged material is replaced to discourage mold growth.

Just because you find mold in your home does not mean you need to pursue professional remediation services. You can often clean small amounts of surface mold, such as in bathrooms or on windowsills, using household products. However, extensive mold growth, persistent odors, or mold caused by water damage require professional remediation. A good rule of thumb is to hire a pro when the mold is in an area larger than 10 square feet, poses health risks, or affects the structural integrity of your home.

It can be challenging to know if mold is growing behind walls without knocking them down. If the walls show signs of water damage (discoloration, water stains, or peeling paint) or there’s a musty odor, it’s possible mold is growing. Know the difference between signs of water damage vs. termites because termite infestations are sometimes mistaken for water damage. A more subtle sign might be your own health: If you’re constantly not feeling well or are sneezing, scratching your eyes, or coughing when in a specific room, you could have mold.

Any unexplained smell in your house should be investigated. However, some home odors are "red flag" worrisome because they pose immediate health and safety risks. Odors should be taken seriously when accompanied by headaches, nausea, or lightheadedness. If you smell an egg-like aroma, this is probably natural gas. You should leave the home immediately, and  contact your gas company.  

The most common reason for a smelly dishwasher is a dirty dishwasher filter. The filter is responsible for catching food while your machine is running to prevent clogs. Over time, that filter gets more and more filled with food particles. Cleaning your dishwasher filter monthly can keep the smell at bay.
