Why Mold Is a Serious Problem
Mold spores are always present in the air, but when moisture enters the equation, they multiply rapidly—especially in dark, humid, or poorly ventilated spaces.
Mold is more than just unsightly. It can:
- Cause allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and respiratory problems
- Worsen existing conditions like COPD or immune deficiencies
- Produce toxic compounds called mycotoxins, linked to neurological symptoms
- Compromise your home’s structural integrity as it eats away at wood, drywall, and insulation
- Lower your property value and create inspection issues when selling
The worst part is that mold frequently develops where you can’t see it: behind walls, under floors, or inside HVAC systems.
That’s why professional detection and removal are essential.
Common Signs of Mold in Your Home or Business
Think you might have a mold issue? Look for these red flags:
Musty, damp odor that doesn’t go away
Discoloration or stains on ceilings, walls, or floors
Peeling paint or bubbling drywall
Warped flooring or rotting wood
Condensation on windows or pipes
Recent water damage (leaks, floods, etc.)
Unexplained health symptoms when indoors
Even if you don’t see visible mold, you could still have a serious hidden problem. Our trained technicians use thermal imaging, moisture meters, and air quality testing to identify mold wherever it hides.
What Causes Mold Growth?
Mold needs only three things to thrive: moisture, organic material (like wood or drywall), and time.
Some of the most common causes of mold include
- Roof leaks or plumbing leaks
- Basement or crawl space moisture
- Poor ventilation in bathrooms, attics, or laundry rooms
- Flooding or storm damage
- Condensation in HVAC systems
- High indoor humidity levels
Our mold remediation process doesn’t just remove the mold—it addresses the source of moisture so it won’t come back.
Our Mold Remediation Process
Proven Mold Remediation Process
At American Water Damage Restoration, we follow industry-best protocols (based on IICRC S520 standards) for safe, thorough mold remediation. Here’s what to expect:
Inspection & Testing
We begin with a thorough assessment using moisture mapping, infrared scanning, and air or surface sampling to identify the type of mold, how far it has spread, and what caused it. All findings are documented with photos and reports for insurance if needed.
Containment
Mold spores can spread through the air during removal. We seal off affected areas using plastic barriers and negative air pressure systems to prevent cross-contamination.
Air Filtration
HEPA air scrubbers and filters continuously clean the air during remediation, trapping mold spores and airborne contaminants.
Mold Removal
Depending on the severity, we clean and disinfect surfaces with EPA-approved products, remove damaged materials like drywall and carpet, and use advanced methods like soda or dry ice blasting for stubborn mold. If mold has spread through your ductwork, we also clean your HVAC system to prevent further contamination.
Drying & Dehumidification
We ensure the entire space is dry and stable using industrial dehumidifiers and air movers. Without this step, mold could return quickly.
Restoration & Rebuild
Once mold is gone and the moisture issue is resolved, we restore your property—replacing drywall, flooring, paint, or anything else damaged by mold. We don’t just clean—we rebuild.
Residential & Commercial Mold Removal
We provide mold remediation for:
- Single-family homes
- Apartments and condos
- Commercial offices
- Retail stores
- Restaurants and food prep areas
- Warehouses and industrial buildings
Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or business owner, we’ll create a customized mold removal plan that fits your timeline, budget, and needs.
Mold and Your Insurance: What You Need to Know
Mold removal costs can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage and the size of the area affected. Good news! Some insurance policies cover mold remediation, especially if it resulted from a covered water damage event.
Our team works directly with your insurance company to:
- Document damage with photos and testing
- Provide detailed remediation reports
- Help file claims and reduce delays
- Handle direct billing when possible
If you’re unsure whether your policy covers mold, we’ll help you understand your options.

FAQs About Mold Removal
Most projects take 1–5 days, depending on the size and severity of the infestation.
Sometimes, yes—but for severe cases, we may recommend temporarily relocating to avoid exposure to airborne spores.
Small surface mold (under 10 sq ft (0.93 m²)) can sometimes be handled with cleaning products. But larger or hidden mold requires professional equipment and safety protocols.
Not if the moisture problem is fixed. We address the root cause to prevent recurrence.
