Mold
REMEDIATION
Covenant
Let’s face it: mold is something that can be found in every home and building. It’s just a natural part of our environment. What matters is whether it’s actively growing and if it’s present in amounts that could affect your indoor air quality and your health. At Covenant Restorations, we’ve encountered mold in all sorts of places: residential homes, commercial spaces, religious institutions, industrial sites, and even government buildings. Regardless of the type of property, our certified experts are ready to assess and tackle mold issues safely and effectively.
What causes mold
We like to think of mold as a creation of God, designed to recycle life by breaking down dead organic matter in nature. However, when it makes its way into our buildings, it can turn into a real problem. Just like us, mold needs food, air, and water to thrive. When building materials get too much moisture, whether from leaks or high humidity, mold starts to grow and break down organic materials such as wood, drywall, and insulation. Once the relative humidity hits 60% or more, hygroscopic materials (those that soak up moisture) can start pulling in water vapor from the air, setting the stage for mold to flourish.
A Little Goes A Long Way
Spotting a tiny patch of mold might not seem like a huge concern, but it could point to a bigger problem, like a hidden water leak or a persistent moisture issue. Mold can be harmful, and if you don’t get it checked out, the source could keep spreading without you even realizing it. That’s why it’s crucial to bring in mold remediation specialists who can evaluate the situation, pinpoint the underlying cause, and safely restore your space.
How We Prevent Mold From Growing
At Covenant Restorations, we prioritize your health and safety above all else. Our certified experts meticulously handle every step of the mold remediation process, ensuring your property is not just cleaned but also that factors like humidity and temperature are carefully managed to stop any future growth in its tracks. We're dedicated to making your space not only mold-free but also safe for the long term.
Bleach Is Not Efficient
While bleach is often the go-to choice for tackling mold, it isn’t the best long-term fix. The label on bleach warns that it needs to be diluted properly, surfaces rinsed, and certain precautions taken, and even then, it won’t prevent mold from coming back. Mold loves to grow in slightly acidic, damp environments. Since bleach is both acidic and water-based, it can make the situation worse, especially since most mold problems start with too much moisture or water damage in the first place. For a truly effective and lasting solution to mold, it’s smart to call in certified professionals who use specialized treatments aimed at getting rid of mold right from the source.
