Morristown, TN Mold Damage Remediation

Because of the proximity to many major water bodies like Cherokee Lake, creeks, and streams, Hamblen County and Morristown remain areas of Tennessee battling a higher humidity throughout the year. These conditions can unknowingly cause mold and microbial development in homes and businesses that can persist unnoticed until breaching into higher traffic areas. Mold remediation of black mold and attic mold threats must begin as soon as possible to prevent these organisms from spreading further in the home.

We can help with:

  • Bathroom mold removal
  • Basement mold remediation
  • Attic mold
  • Black mold
  • Mold remediation
  • Mold specialists

How Can Storm Damage in Morristown Become Attic Mold? 

With the area averaging more than 44 inches of rain every year, combined with an additional nearly foot of annual snowfall, storms can dramatically impact area homes and businesses. Once water can penetrate roofs, attic mold can be a threatening result that deteriorates hosting materials. We have multiple mold remediation practices that can remove surface colonization and a general contractor license to help with necessary repairs and reconstruction to prevent recurrences.

Can Mold Specialists Remove Black Mold?  

Basement mold remediation and bathroom mold removal are two services that our mold specialists can provide after discovering black mold growing and spreading in your home. Between surface treatments like sanding and dry ice blasting, we have multiple approaches that can remove an entire active organism.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. 
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return. 
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our “typical” process:

Step 1: Emergency Contact - (423) 318-6733

We’re available 24 hours, 7 days a week to answer your phone call. Our consultant will guide you through this process, asking questions that will allow us to better understand your situation and to determine the needed equipment and personnel.

Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view. We use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.

Step 3: Mold Containment

To keep the mold spores from spreading further, we will use various mold containment procedures. Our professionals may use physical barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the contaminated area and to help prevent the mold spores from spreading through your Morristown, TN home or business. Also, we’ll turn off the property’s fans and heating and cooling systems to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process. 

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. We’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. It may be necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to remediate heavy mold growth.

Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing

We clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by mold, using a variety of cleaning techniques to clean and disinfect your belongings. We’re also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
