1. The Root Cause is Eliminated. Mold thrives in damp, humid environments; therefore, the mold will simply return unless the underlying water or moisture issue (leaky pipes, faulty roofing, et cetera) is addressed. A complete mold damage restoration process tackles the mold itself and the source of moisture, preventing future infestations.
2. No Visible Mold or Moldy Odors. This may seem obvious, but it’s crucial. A thorough restoration must completely remove all visible mold, including hidden areas behind walls and ceilings. Sometimes, the inspector may test air samples to confirm the absence of airborne mold spores.
3. A Clean Bill of Health. Reputable mold damage restoration companies go beyond surface-level checks. They conduct thorough mold inspections and other assessments to ensure that the mold and its underlying causes have been eliminated. Furthermore, your indoor air quality must meet or exceed specific health and safety standards.
4. Your Home Feels Whole Again. Once your chosen mold remediation expert has given the green light, a contractor can confidently step in to finalize the mold damage restoration project. This ensures that any compromised building materials or structural components are replaced or repaired, and the affected areas are restored to their pre-mold condition.
