Understanding Mold in your Arlington, VA Home

Mold is a multi-cell organism that needs moist, humid and dark places in your Arlington, VA home to grow and flourish. Here are some specifics about black mold to help you understand what you are looking for:

Physical Signs of Mold:

Black mold is spread through the release of tiny mold spores into the air, that then attach themselves to surfaces in the home. These mold spores may lie dormant for quite a long time, but eventually, when all the conditions are perfect, the mold starts growing and multiplying.
Keeping an area well lit and ventilated is the best way to protect your Arlington, VA home from mold growth and mold spore dispersal.
Removing black mold yourself is dangerous. This is a project for professionals, not the average Arlington, VA homeowner. The mold spores can easily be sent into the air for you to breathe while cleaning the mold.
Toxic mold removal products line the shelves of home improvement and hardware stores, but they should be handled with care. Chemical mold removers are toxic to mold but can also be toxic to humans and household pets.
Create your own at-home mold removal mixture with a combination of hot water and bleach. Mix one cup of bleach into one gallon of water and stir. The liquid can be used to scrub areas where mold is — or was — present; be careful though, the bleach will bleach fabric, and carpet fibers if spills occur.

Listen to Our Clients

Envirotex helped alleviate the stress associated with the flooding of our basement. Although the insurance adjuster was quick to get a company in there to rip out the carpeting and drag it out into our driveway (where it remained for several days), neither the adjuster nor the carrier was concern about the ensuing mold growth that we were seeing on the drywall and ceiling tiles. If not for the professional survey, analysis and report that you furnished detailing the extent of the mold contamination, the cause thereof and the work that was required to be performed, I am certain that we would still be fighting with the insurance company. Thank you, we are very glad that we had Envirotex in our corner!

Thanks for your help, Daniel. Your intervention was much needed and appreciated. I will let Brock approve these as he sees fit, as you guys hammered out the agreement and scope. But I did not want the opportunity to go by and not show my appreciation. You always take care of us and you are great at rolling with the punches. Carry on, Christian soldier!
