First, let me tell you that the
old saying, you get what you pay for plays a major role in a successful mold remediation project. When interior mold contamination
needs to be destroyed, professionals with years of experience and training need to remove the hazard from a structure.
There is no such thing as a bargain when it comes to a successful mold decontamination project. There is the right way or
the wrong way, and that's it. The most expensive mold decontamination project is one that needs to be re-done
again due to an incomplete procedures or air born particles that contaminate another area of a structure. A hold
on Mold has been presenting mold education seminars to agents and brokers of many real estate company's throughout the northeast
areas of Pennsylvania so they can understand a little more about the problems of mold. When a mold project is inspected and estimated, all the contamination in the structure
needs to be removed. The types of surface to be decontaminated effects pricing of a project. Bare surfaces
are more expensive due to the amount of disinfectant needed to sterilize the area. There are many
different surfaces that take more time than others. Visible contamination is a warning that there could be air born spore
contamination as well as visible mold. This also needs to be removed. Being a professional in this trade, we must remove all contamination from a structure in order
for the project to be acceptable. There are many variables when estimating a project. Toxic or not all interior molds are
not safe to live with and breathe. We treat all visible mold as if it were toxic. This method is safest when
mold sampling is not performed. The mold needs to be destroyed, period.The average homeowner only sees visible mold staining. A mold professional sees mold egging,
surface mold, embedded mold, saturated mold, impregnated mold, and more. These different types of mold growth effect pricing
and determine the correct procedures for the decontamination. You could have a little visible mold on some drywall in
your bathroom and not see the total contamination behind it. We have discovered abundant contamination behind moldy surfaces.
Homeowners think taking
some bleach and wiping down a moldy area will take care of the problem. Those who do usually make the problem worse.
The use of bleach is not recommended for destroying mold contamination. All surface types may vary the average square foot pricing procedures. Decontamination
is expensive, but having it done wrong will cost you much more. Our mold professionals will determine
the best possible procedures for removing the contamination. This needs to be destroyed, and if not the contractor is liable
for the home or property owners well being after project completion. All mold remediation professionals are well aware of
this and get compensated for there expertise in this extremely dangerous profession. Make the right choice and only let a
qualified professional safely clean your interiors environment.
Mold decontamination projects can run into
the thousands of dollars very easily. Peoples neglect in decontaminating increases the costs and they escalate dramatically.
Mold feeds and grows at an alarming rate when the environment provides the moisture and a food source.
Excessive heat will accelerate the growth rate of mold, but moisture will always be the number one cause of a mold problem.
There is nothing cheap about decontaminating a structure. The dangers
related to contaminations are enormous. Professionals in this trade pay very high insurance rates, education and training,
inspection equipment is extremely expensive. Other expenses
such as personal protection equipment, mold education updates, new and approved destroying products, materials
and equipment are also expensive. Safety during a project is critical. Professionals in this trade
need to cover costs the average homeowner knows very little about. Mistakes in this business can cost much, much more. The
bottom line is, it needs to be done right. The costs to a mold contractor to provide this service is extremely
expensive. After a decontaminating project a home owner or a
business professional needs to have assurance that the air quality is safe and understands that maintaining the proper levels
of moisture to the interior of a structure is necessary to inhibit any additional mold contamination. This does not put a
number or a price on a project, but it will help customers understand that this profession is very dangerous and
expensive, not only for a customer, but for the Mold Remediation Contracting Professional as well. I hope this helps
people understand more about mold decontamination pricing. Jim Molner
