What is Mold?
Mold is a common fungus that is found everywhere, but when mold spores have access to a warm and damp environment, mold can multiply and spread quickly in your home. Any home or business can quickly become infested with mold with the introduction of a water source, like a roof or plumbing leak. Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48-72 hours, and can produce allergens and irritants that have the potential to cause other health effects. This mold can potentially damage the structure and walls of your home weakening the homes integrity.
Black mold (or “toxic black mold”) is an unofficial term often used to refer to molds that produce mycotoxins. There is no actual black mold species, but the term often references Stachybotrys chartarum, which has a greenish-black color. This type of mold damage can be hazardous to your health and may weaken the structure of your home. We recommend getting a Hampton, New Hampshire mold inspection to determine the extent of damage and testing to determine the type of mold. We provide professional mold removal services for your home or business in Hampton, NH

What Determines the Cost of Mold Mitigation?
There are several factors that will determine the cost of the mold remediation project, but it is hard to give you an estimate over the phone. Our local team needs to be able to assess how large the infestation is and the rooms affected in order to determine the amount of mold damage involved. Our team does provide free mold remediation estimates, but you will also need a mold inspection and testing done. Here are some of the items that determine the cost in regards to mold removal in Hampton, New Hampshire:
- Cause of the Mold - Mold usually is a symptom of water damage or a pipe leak. Does the area need water removal or water damage restoration and repairs?
- Size of the area affected - The amount of mold and the rooms affected. The larger amount of mold in different rooms, behind the walls, in the attic or ventilation system will require additional work, materials and cleaning.
- Repair and remodeling - The materials needed to repair and remodel after the mold has been cleaned up. This step needs to be performed to return your home back to its original condition.
Mold can affect any room, but rooms that are more susceptible to infestation are typically: bathrooms, kitchens, basements, attics and walls. These areas will typically have plumbing pipes behind the walls or appliances that use water. These pipes and appliances could have a major or minor slow leak over time that provides mold the moisture it needs to grow and multiply.
