Residential and Commercial Mold Services in Powhatan, VA
Mold is everywhere operating as very important bio decomposers in nature. Problems with mold arise when they multiply and bloom indoors under favorable conditions. All homes have small amounts of mold spores floating through the atmosphere and all they require is a moisture laden cellulose (at one time plant or animal based) surface to grow. The first step towards controlling a mold infestation is to find the outbreak and its moisture source. It's really a misnomer to claim total mold removal because it exists naturally in our world and can never truly be totally removed- mold spores, at anytime, may float back in through a window. Hero Mold Removal removes the conditions that cause the mold to bloom and grow. We then capture the fuzzy odd colored colonies in sealed bags and move them to the dump. However, a dead mold spore will still cause allergic reactions which is why when removing the contamination, a combination of air scrubbers, negative air containment and HEPA vacuuming, all of which ensnares mold spores, will be used to remove all we can. The Powhatan environment is a humid one with plenty of mold spores floating around that a few sooner of later find a spot to thrive inside a home or business.
Sometimes, Clients with a sick family member will get a request by a Doctor to have mold testing done in their homes for an investigation into what could be causing the illness. Also, sometimes, Clients need mold testing done as a requirement for closing a property sale. As a rule, we will take several air samples throughout the building to test for elevated levels of mold floating through the atmosphere and if mold is discovered blooming we'll take physical samples of the fungus. All samples will be sealed carefully then sent to an independent lab to determine species of mold and level of infestation: Mold Testing and Mold Remediation performed by the same company is a conflict of interest and clients need to know they can trust us not to have those conflicts. Hero Mold Removal will seal the test samples in the client's presence, seal in tamper proof packaging and send to the client's choice of accredited mold testing Lab for analysis. We will provide a list of well-respected Mold Testing Labs.

Crawlspace Encapsulation: Bringing Back Healthy Air
Much has changed in the understanding of air flow within buildings the last few decades. We understand now that 50% to 70% of air floating inside our homes comes from the crawl space. The air in the crawl space could be teeming with mold spores, mildew odors, radon gas and bacteria from pest waste all of which will be traveling upwards sending foul odors and sickness with it. Ask Hero Mold Removal to test your Crawl Space for Polluted air at no charge.
Traditional Crawl spaces are designed with several cross-ventilation vents to provide a cross flow of air. During summer, we leave the vents open to encourage breezes to move the moisture from under the home out to outdoors. The humidity comes not only from the environment outside but from the home above and tends to hang out in the crawl space causing mold, mildew and draws pests (termites and cockroaches require moist conditions). Plus, if mice are inside your home, they probably crawled up through the walls from the crawl space. During the winter, we close the vents to keep out the bitter cold and conserve the energy of the home above. However, it really becomes a cold sink for the home above drawing heat because the insulation placed between the floor joists is wet, inadequate or ill maintained.
Crawlspace Encapsulation is the best most effective way of dealing with a humid mold troubled crawlspace. Encapsulation will close off the humidity from the ground by laying a thick poly mat that will be placed partly up the foundation wall by a few feet then edges are sealed with tape. Also, insulation that does not attract mold will be lining the inside perimeter foundation walls to conserve energy within the home. Previously installed vents will be covered to prevent an air exchange with the outside humidity. Lastly a dehumidifier will be installed to take care of any moisture coming from the home above. This sets up the crawlspace environment to be a conditioned air space that will retard mold growth and also allow it to be used for storage.

Toxic Black Mold Removal
When a homeowner fist spies black mold in their home, what comes to mind are all the media stories about the many awful outcomes of human exposure: the worst being death. Understanding the conditions that black toxic mold flourish in is a good way to diminish fear. There are over 100,000 types of mold species and not all that produce Mycotoxins are black in color. The much feared toxic Stachybotrys chartarum species of mold is colored dark grey to black, heavy or dense and portrays itself as wet and slimy. This species shows up in unoccupied dwellings that have experienced a long episode of moisture problems such as homes that have been flooded and stayed wet a week or more. These Toxic Mold colonies are also occasionally found hidden inside wall cavities fed by a continuous plumbing leak. But, for the most part people living in these homes or businesses will realize something is wrong before a toxic mold colony takes over- though a less dangerous mold colony might be growing. Mold growth, no matter the species, found in homes, businesses, hospitals, and schools should be eliminated equally for the sake of humans pets’ health, structural integrity of the dwelling, and quality of life.

Costs of Mold Removal or Remediation
The total area of the mold infestation is directly related to the cost of remediation and what area needs remediation- an unfinished basement would cost less to remediate than a finished one. The level of building material destruction also directly affects the black mold removal cost. If the HVAC ducts are involved, the cost for removal will also rise. The costs will also depend on the contractor you hire as pricing will vary between companies. Pay attention not only to cost estimates but to the Mold Remediation Company's experience levels and what kind of success level their process enjoys against a toxic mold environment. It is not only doubly costly to redo a mold remediation but brings health hazards again to perhaps still recovering family members. Hero Mold Removal will advise what needs to be done to stop the excessive moisture (the root cause of mold bloom).

Employee Training is both Practical and in the Classroom:
Our mold removal technicians are expansively trained in the right methods and proper cleaners for the mold infected materials involved, and to clean the subject in a field of containment so any mold spores stirred up do not travel throughout the home or business and infect other areas.
