What is the difference between Mold Removal and Remediation?

Indoor mold growth should be remediate immediately

Since microscopic mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy.

Some mold spores will be found floating through the air and in house dust. The mold spores will not grow if moisture is not present. Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors. If there is mold growth in your home, you must have it cleaned and fix the water problem. If you have the mold remediated, but don't fix the water problem, then, most likely, the mold problem will come back.
