Mold Removal
Mold typically develops when excess moisture or water is left sitting over a long period of time. This could be invisible, such as in a crawl space, as a result of a leaking pipe or after a big flood in your basement. At AAC Environmental, we offer thorough mold and odor removal services to help find the source of the mold and clean and restore your home to its previous state. Our professional mold removal technicians use proven deodorization techniques to get rid of mold odors as part of the process. Our mold removal services includes the following:
- Attics, basements, and crawl spaces
- Testing
- Inspection
- Demolition

Mold Testing
Air quality and mold testing are key to understanding not only where unseen mold has spread, but also what type of mold remediation techniques are appropriate to the type of mold. Professional mold testing provides the information that mold remediation technicians need to do the job right the first time.

Mold Abatement
With careful isolation of the affected areas, IFF halts the spread of mold spores to other areas of your building. We use negative air machines and plastic sheeting for mold containment while we clean and remove mold from the space. We have the equipment ready for full mold abatement and remediation services.

Encapsulation After Abatement
Mold prevention is key. Encapsulating your crawl space or attic after we perform the mold abatement helps assure you that we won’t have to come back a few years down the line to take care of a new mold infestation.
Whether you know the source of the mold, such as following a water-related disaster or you have noticed a musty smell and black spots on the walls, we can help. The earlier we catch mold and remove it, the better the chances are of your home being salvageable. At AAC Environmental, our mold remediation experts have the training and experience needed to remove mold from your home and repair any damage which was done to your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What caused the mold to grow in my house?
Anytime the moisture levels in your home are at 60% or higher, mold can grow. What’s frustrating for many property owners is that they don’t see a puddle on the floor or water dripping from the ceiling. When mold grows, the source of the moisture is usually hidden under floorboards or behind walls.
I seem to be sick all the time. Is the mold in my house making me ill?
It could be. Because mold spores are microscopic and airborne, you’ll end up breathing them into your lungs. Depending on the type of mold and how well your immune system functions, you may develop some serious health symptoms that could end up being the result of mold. That’s why a mold remediation company takes mold removal so seriously. The space affected by mold is isolated and contained during cleaning so the spores won’t spread to other areas of the house, and the remediation team stays suited up in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the process.
Does bleach kill mold?
For the majority of surfaces in your home, bleach won’t actually get rid of your mold problem. It’s the “iceberg effect.” Visible mold is usually a small percentage of the actual amount of mold growth. Bleach can’t kill mold on porous surfaces like wood, and while tile or fiberglass surfaces can be cleaned with bleach, often the mold has spread far deeper. The reason why mold remediation companies don’t recommend DIY cleanup isn’t that they want to make more money; they know, in their experience, that a mold problem is usually far more invasive than can be seen with the naked eye. Simply cleaning the surfaces can provide false assurances that you got rid of the mold, only to have it come back time and time again.
Does homeowners insurance cover mold remediation?
Sometimes mold remediation is included if the cause of the mold was a “covered peril” like a burst hot water heater or water damage caused by firefighters extinguishing a fire in your house. Gradual water damage – like from a leaking pipe or hose – will often cause mold growth, but your insurance coverage will usually not cover that by claiming that it was caused by poor maintenance or neglect. If your insurance company denies your claim, you should request an inspection from a mold remediation company that can help you document the source of the mold.
How do I know if the mold is home for good?
If the inspection/assessment process was able to pinpoint the source and cause of the mold growth, once that source is repaired, you can be relatively confident about the success of remediation. Ask if your restoration technician has the IICRC certification for “Applied Microbial Remediation.” You can also request a “post-remediation mold clearance” from a third-party mold inspector to re-test the area for any remaining traces of mold before the area is treated with a sealer or encapsulant to resist future mold growth.
