Licensed Mold Removal Services in Daytona Beach, FL

Renowned for its iconic boardwalk, thrilling motor sports, and sunny disposition, Daytona Beach is a year-round playground for Central Florida residents and visitors. However, amidst the fun in the sun, the coastal city’s consistently high humidity and frequent rainfall create an environment where mold spores thrive, especially after water damage.

Water leaks are an unfortunate reality for any homeowner. Whether it's the result of severe weather like a powerful thunderstorm causing roof damage, a sudden pipe burst beneath the kitchen sink, or a simple household accident like an overflowing bathtub, excess moisture can quickly lead to significant problems. In Daytona Beach and its surrounding Volusia County areas, the warm, humid air acts as an incubator, allowing mold to colonize and spread rapidly within 24 to 48 hours of a water event. It damages porous surfaces and can even cause health issues. Professional mold removal and remediation services are essential for any resident who experiences a water leak in their home.

Mold Removal Vs. Mold Remediation in Volusia County

While the terms are often used interchangeably, mold removal and mold remediation are actually two distinct processes:

• Mold removal typically focuses on physically eliminating visible mold growth from surfaces. This might involve cleaning, scrubbing, and the disposal of contaminated materials like drywall or carpeting. While removal is a necessary part of the process, it doesn't always address the underlying moisture issues or the microscopic mold spores that may still be present.
• Mold remediation, on the other hand, involves containment of the affected areas, such as removing flooring, to prevent further spread, using specialized equipment to eliminate mold growth, and thorough cleaning and disinfection. The goal of remediation is to return the affected area to a safe and healthy condition so restoration can begin.

Mold Testing

Understanding the extent and type of mold present is paramount before any removal or remediation work begins. Our Certified professionals will conduct thorough inspections, often including air and surface sampling, to identify the species of mold and the concentration of spores in your home. This mold testing will also help us customize a mold remediation strategy so that water damage restoration can begin after all the damaged surfaces are removed.

Important note: If you hire a certified mold assessor or mold inspector to do a professional assessment at your home, you cannot use that same company to perform a mold remediation or mold removal for 13 months.

Water Damage Restoration

Once the mold and water-damaged materials have been removed, it's time to restore your home to its pre-damaged condition. The restoration process may include repairing drywall, installing new flooring, and replacing kitchen countertops and cabinets that were removed during the mold remediation. We will work directly with you, your public adjuster, or your insurance company to ensure your home is restored properly.
