Mold Removal Service
A Serious Health Threat
Mold can kill a person if you’re exposed to its spores for extended periods of time. Water damage is often the culprit of one of these types of mold in your household, all of which can be detrimental to the health of both humans and pets:
- Alterniria
- Aspergillus
- Chartarum
- Cladosporium
- Stachybotry
- Penicillium
Hole in the Wall Restoration provides effective detection and removal of household mold as a result of water damage
Have you or a family member mentioned having smelled a musty scent in your home? Do you see black, gray or greenish-colored buildup on a wall, ceiling or along the side of a window? Has someone in your household been coughing or complaining of nasal, eye or skin irritations? If any of these questions are familiar, you may have a mold problem you don’t know about.
The fact is that mold can start to grow in exposed areas—such as drywall or wood—in as little as 24 hours. However, there are many wet areas in your home that can develop mold including:
Bathroom Area:
- Shower or tub walls with old tile are likely to have mold growing
- Wallboard behind the toilet or behind the vanity sink
Kitchen Area:
- Under the sink and in any grooves or areas exposed to water splashing
- Behind the refrigerator or underneath, especially if you’ve had a minor water leak
- Essentially any wall area enclosing plumbing, whether it has ever leaked or not
General Areas:
- Under the carpet, especially if near a window or sliding glass door that gets wet by rain
- Wherever you have furniture that may have been exposed to rainwater seeping through, particularly after a bad storm
- If you have an attic or other spaces that may have been exposed to water after a storm or due to a leak
Garage Area:
- In the wallboard around the air conditioner return air duct or blower compartment
- Anywhere around the garage door where rain water may have come through

Don’t try to remove mold on your own. The fact is that mold removal must be performed by a trained professional with the knowledge and experience to eliminate the threat. Remember that exposure to mold in your household is a severe health threat that can harm or possibly kill you or a member of your family.
