Q: How likely is mold after water damage?

• <div><p>Mold is very likely if you do not take action to fully dry your home within around 24 to 48 hours after water damage occurs. This can happen even faster in warm, dark locations with extensive water damage. In areas of the home that receive ample sunlight and only have slight moisture issues, it can take weeks for mold to appear.</p></div>

Q: Is a musty smell harmful?

• <div><p>Yes. Musty smells in your home usually signal that mold or mildew is lurking somewhere. Both can cause allergy symptoms in those who are allergic. Mold can cause structural damage and serious health issues if left unaddressed.</p></div>

Q: How can I be sure if I have mold vs. mildew?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re unsure whether you have mildew or mold, you can hire a professional to test the material. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/mold-inspection-professionals-and-costs.htm">mold inspection cost</a> can range from about <b>$300 to $1,000</b>, depending on the size of the growth area. Once the testing professional tells you whether you have mold or mildew, you can then take the necessary steps to get rid of it.</p></div>

Q: Can you provide details about what level of mold requires remediation?

• <div><p>Mold remediation is required if the mold growth covers more than 10 square feet of an area or the mold spore concentration is above 500 spores per cubic meter of air. You should also seriously consider remediation if there is a lot of water damage along with mold growth or if you suspect your HVAC system has been contaminated with mold. Remediation is also crucial if the mold damage has been caused by sewage or other contaminated water.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over mold?

• <div><p>Painting over mold is not an effective solution and can actually make the problem worse. Instead, it traps moisture, which allows mold to grow and spread beneath the surface. Mold must be completely removed before painting to ensure the problem doesn&rsquo;t recur. If mold is painted over, it may eventually seep through the new layer of paint, causing discoloration and peeling.</p></div>

We called Mite-E-Ducts and a gentleman named Chad came out to give an estimate of what it would take to get rid of a mold problem. We were told by another company who tested for mold that, even though they could not see any mold anywhere, it was probably in the duct work and it would cost...

They were very prompt and professional. He did have to return twice to remedy the situation. The first attempt didnt take care of the problem, but he returned two days subsequent that. The second time the problem was resolved. The technician did not charge me again when he had to return.
