Affordable Mold Inspections,Testing, Removal & Crawlspace Encapsulation
Hero Mold Removal of Newport News has the highest regard for safety and well-being of our clients and their family during mold remediation. We do not storm the building and start knocking out walls and ripping up carpet like some demolition derby (this will only spread the mold spores to unaffected areas). We use careful effective methods of mold remediation that will contain the possible spread of mold spores. Complete Services we offer to Residential and Business clients: Mold Remediation or more commonly known as Mold Removal, Mold Testing (we use 3rd party reputable mold testing labs), Mold Inspection, Mold and Mildew Cleaning, Odor Removal, Animal Urine Odor Removal, Smoke Odor Removal and Crawlspace Encapsulation.
With a Free, No Commitments, Mold and Moisture Assessment of your possibly mold infected building we are happy to advise Homeowners, Businesses, Home Inspectors, Property Managers, and Real Estate Agents about what is the best way to remove it. We know potential customers will get other recommendations for treatment and we want to shine among the others with a budget conscience plan to rid your Home or Business of mold infestation.

Many of us don't consider the Crawlspace under our homes to be part of our living space because we seldom think about or even visit it as part of a maintenance routine. Most often these spaces are humid, dirty, pest ridden and difficult to traverse because of a floor that is usually uneven and debris strewn, all in all, we don't like to go down there. Its only when some fault occurs in the crawlspace that upends our lives that we give it attention. Crawlspace catastrophe can be flooding caused by a broken water pipe, groundwater infiltration and worse of all a sewage backup. However more often, high humid conditions cause horrible moldy growth which encourages pestilence and sends polluted air into your living space. EPA claims 70% or more of the nasty air in our crawlspace ends up in our home causing susceptible people allergies or worse. Crawlspace Encapsulation is a premier solution that will fix and repel moldy conditions.

DIY Mold Testing Has a Dismal Reputation
Visible mold will often render Mold Testing an unnecessary expense because mold removal or remediation is conducted the same regardless of species. After all, you may still have the expense of the mold and moisture cleanup. Only when a property closing demands it, a serious illness requires it for a treatment plan or just a need to know by the owner does mold testing become an imperative.
The fear of Black Toxic Mold motivates some homeowners to ordered DIY Home mail order test kits in order to get answers to the toxicity of mold growth in their homes- sadly these tests do not supply the needed answers. Mold test kits have have a dismal reputation. Yes, mold spores exist everywhere so that little petri dish test kit will most likely develop mold because it contains food and moisture. All it takes is a mold spore floating through the home, open door or window to land on the dish and 24 to 48 hours later you'll have mold growth- in your non-infested home. The manufacturers of the test kit, also, offers to inspect the mold samples for additional funds to determine species you need only mail it to the specified Lab. The problem is you have no idea if the "chain of custody" of the sample is careful enough to prevent cross contamination. Hero Mold Company, it will cost nothing and you’ll have more success finding the problem with expert help.
Hero Mold Company will gladly offer free professional advice on which mold tests we believe is needed for your situation. We are resolved to stay budget friendly to provide expert help within the financial reach of families. More about the Process of Mold Testing

Realistically Priced Accurate Mold Testing in Newport News
Mold for sampling can be done with one of three standard methods. A swab rubbed across visible colonies of mold or a sticky tape lift will reveal the species when the samples are examined at the accredited testing lab. A number of air samples taken throughout your home will be collected to determine the level mold spores present in the suspected areas. A sample is usually taken outdoors, to compare with the mold samples from inside. The Laboratory samples are sent to a 3rd party accredited Lab for appropriate analysis. Many mold species share characteristics so a visual inspection alone cannot determine the species of mold. Also, the level of mold spores floating through the atmosphere cannot be visually quantified. Lab analysis can also determine age of mold infestation which insurance companies often need to know to validate policy coverage. Be Assured, Hero Mold Testing Removal will advise only those mold tests necessary to provide the required information- protecting you from repetitive and unclear tests.
Positive Mold Test Results will unfortunately mean you’ll have to take the next step and hire a professional mold remediation company. Don’t overpay for mold remediation services- compare estimates- we are certain you’ll find Hero Mold Removal of Newport News, VA realistically priced.

Health Effects of Black Toxic Mold
Buildings with Black Toxic Mold are dangerous for human occupation and are posted as restricted because human exposure to the damp toxic mold in these sick buildings can cause adverse sometimes deadly serious health effects. This mold sensitivity may cause nasal stuffiness, sore throat, coughing, burning eyes and skin rash. For the really unfortunate people that are immune-compromised or have asthma they may end up with very severe reactions to inhaled mold spores and need to be hospitalized. Understanding this terrible mold species may help diminish some worries:
Black Toxic Mold (species Stachybotrys Chartarum) is a rare slowly growing fungus that requires several days (8 to 12) of a very high moisture environment to thrive and needs to be disturbed to release spores for new colonies. Stachybotrys Chartarum color is a dark greenish-black, gelatinous and appears wet. This species is also linked to Sick Building Syndrome. Its natural enemies are sunlight and ruffling breezes so its life cycle is rather precarious out in the open. However, it is known to be a problem in previously flooded homes that took a while to get dry but is also occasionally hidden inside wall cavities feed by a continuous plumbing leak. Even though Black Toxic Mold is a rare species, it is a frightening sad reality for some families because the illness it brings to a loved family member is so severe that life-long consequences could be the result. We understand how frightening it is when black mold is noted in a home and will rapidly respond at a request for a toxic mold inspection.

Safe Hero Mold Removal for All Mold Species Including Black Toxic Mold
Hero Mold Removal of Newport News success for mold remediation depends on stopping the excessive moisture at the source of the mold and once done the mold will die. However, dead mold spores also cause allergies so full treatment requires containing the mold infestation site with the use of plastic sheeting, negative air containment, air scrubbers and HEPA vacuuming all done to prevent mold spores escaping to clean areas. Once the area has been sealed using plastic sheets and tape, a small hole will be made in the plastic an air duct attachment inserted through the hole, and then vented to the outside. This negative air pressure further prevents mold spores from escaping into the rest of your home. These steps will remove the mold colony food source, stop the spreading of mold spores and restore a clean healthy environment to your living space no matter the toxicity.
