Can Mold Mitigation Prevent Mold from Returning?

Yes, and it is the only part of the process that does. Mitigation is the work performed at the start of a mold or water damage event: stopping the moisture, protecting occupants and contents, isolating the affected area, and drying materials before growth establishes or spreads. Remediation addresses growth that already exists; mitigation addresses the conditions that allow it. A home where the moisture condition has been corrected and the fine particulate has been cleaned does not develop recurring growth.

Most of the remediation industry begins at removal and treats mitigation as optional. That omission is the most common reason mold returns after a completed job. Mold Relief has specialized in water damage mitigation since 1992, and every plan we write begins there. A Mold or Water Damage Inspection is $195. Includes the areas of concern, the common failure points and the entire conditioned home.

Additional Questions

How Quickly Do I Need to Act After Water Damage?

Within 24 to 48 hours. That is roughly how long wet building materials can sit before mold begins to grow in them, and the clock starts when the material got wet, not when you noticed. A leak discovered on Monday that started Friday is already a mold question.
