Root Causes of Mold Growth in Falls Church, VA Homes

Do you have a problem with mold growth in your Falls Church, VA home? The short answer is that you might. Unfortunately, mold can be notoriously difficult to detect when the colony is basic, because they tend to initially establish in dark, damp areas of your home that you seldom see, and in some cases, can’t even get to.

Think in terms of your attic, if your roof is leaking, the dark corners of your basement, especially if your basement walls are cracked and leaking, or the crawl space under your home, which often provides ideal conditions for mold.

Other possibilities include things like a dripping or leaking pipe behind one of your walls or inside your heating and air conditioning ducts.

Unfortunately, in most cases, by the time you see visible evidence of mold growth in your Falls Church, VA home, the colony is already quite well entrenched and established.

There’s good news though! As the region’s top-rated environmental services company, we’ve got the skills and experience you need to make short work of the colony, and to identify the root causes that have made your home an ideal mold candidate.

If you even suspect that you’ve got a mold growth issue somewhere in your Falls Church, VA home, give us a call right away. As the area’s #1 environmental services company, we’re constantly upgrading our skill set and the technology we use, and we’ve recently added thermal imaging to the equation.

Thermal imaging allows us to spot concentrations of moisture inside your home, even in places you can’t normally see. By zeroing in on the places where mold colonies are most likely to establish themselves, we can complete our assessment more efficiently and effectively and more accurately identify the root causes that led to the problem to begin with.

That matters, because if all you’re doing is getting rid of the mold itself, the problem is bound to return. Only by addressing the root causes can you be sure it’ll stay gone.

After our initial assessment, if we find evidence of mold in your home, our next step will be to draft a detailed remediation plan that will include a free, no-obligation quote, so you’ll know exactly what it will take to put the problem behind you once and for all.

Then, assuming you’re comfortable with our estimate, we’ll get started.

The first thing we’ll do is cordon off the area where the mold colony is so that when we start to remove it, no spores will escape to cause you trouble later.

Having isolated the area, we’ll proceed with removal, decontamination, and proper disposal. Then we’ll outline the other steps you may need to take to address root causes, like having your roof patched, bringing in a plumber to fix a pipe, and so on.

If all that sounds good to you, give us a call today and let’s get this problem solved!
