Laconia, NH Mold Damage Remediation

From the Laconia School District schools to venues like Funspot Family Fun Center in town, many properties can become adversely affected by changing weather conditions and higher humidity. As the municipality is sandwiched between Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam, groundwater and atmospheric moisture content can be persistent concerns that facilitate the development of mold and microbial threats. Mold removal services should begin as soon as possible.

Are Mold Removal Strategies Universal for Laconia Properties?

There is no one size fits all solution for mold removal and mold remediation in Laconia properties. Because mold organisms can spread so quickly through structures, it is essential for responding technicians on our remediation team to determine what affected materials exist and the appropriate strategy to eliminate black mold and other concerns. Mold inspections can often identify where controlled demolition and black mold damage repairs are required as well. We can help with: 

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

Does Mold Removal Eliminate Odors in Laconia Homes? 

The mold removal process can be involved and intricate but must also address concerns like lingering odors that impact the property and its occupants. Harsh musty smells can be a considerable obstacle for homeowners returning to the house. We have multiple deodorization approaches ranging from thermal fogging to air scrubbers that can help odor removal.

Understanding Mold

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because it’s impossible to remove all mold from a house or business; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the 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 - (603) 527-2518

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 determine the scope of the mold damage by carefully inspecting your property for visible signs of mold. Since mold can be hidden, we use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources. 

Step 3: Mold Containment

Our professionals use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. We may use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread of mold.

Step 4: Air Filtration

We use powerful air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other filtration equipment to remove microscopic mold spores out of the air. This air filtration process and our mold containment process help to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.

Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

Depending on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces involved, the mold remediation process can vary significantly. In general, we’ll use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we may need to remove drywall, carpeting, and other porous materials.

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.
