The Basics of Black Mold Explained

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

Here are a few reasons why you should consider hiring a certified, licensed professional for mold removal in Arlington, VA:

Mold is dangerous, can be toxic and unhealthy. Hiring professional mold removal experts to remove an extensive mold outbreak from your home - and take the necessary steps to prevent it in the future - is the best decision. Why expose anyone to additional dangers associated with mold spores?
The highly-trained, certified professionals at Envirotex have state-of-the-art equipment, technical skills, and cutting-edge techniques to successfully complete mold removal in Arlington, VA.

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!

Good morning, I just wanted to send a quick "THANK YOU" to you all for a prompt response to my call at the end of last week. My wife told me that the crew members were very professional and explained the process to her. Thanks to Dan for responding during his meeting and working with me. I would also like to thank Sara for jumping on the proposal ASAP as well.

Cheers,
