While any mold colony can be a troubling sign, mold removal or mold damage remediation is not warranted until the problem becomes widespread. In order for us to administer our mold damage remediation services, there must be at least 10 square feet of consistent mold colonies.

Depending on the situation at your property, your insurance may or may not cover mold remediation. Typically, for most policies, mold removal is only approved by insurance companies if the source of mold is created by a peril that is covered, such as water damage.

Mold can hide in various places, such as an attic, crawlspace, and even behind walls. If you smell the odor mold is commonly associated with, it potentially may be in a lesser-traveled area of the property or behind the walls.

Mold hidden behind walls may require advanced tools to not only discover but remediate as well. If you suspect mold is growing behind your walls, you should seek assistance from professional service providers.
