Third party, independent verified mold tests

Accurate Mold Testing for Medical Diagnoses, Pre-Remediation Mold Testing, Real Estate Requirements, Legal Testing Demands and Post Remediation Mold Testing is very important to get right as decisions will be based upon the outcomes. Hero Mold Removal Mold Testing Technicians are all mold certified and Licensed by the State to collect samples. We send these samples off to an independent lab to have tested by third party scientist. NEVER trust a mold company that does their own sample reading. It's the proverbial "fox watching the hen house". There are plenty of scam companies out there that will lie about results, fake results or push you into services you do not need at inflated prices. With that said, you may already have visible mold growth in which case you can skip the test and save the fee and apply that directly to removing the mold.

Pre-remediation testing determines if any species of mold is present, the level of mold spores present in the suspect areas, age of infestation and can suggest areas of hidden menace. Post-Remediation testing will confirm a successful remediation and when compared with Post-remediation testing can ensure what was there in the beginning is not gone. All stages of testing are sometimes required should you need proof your home or business is free of mold infestation- requited before closing in real estate transactions. To provide our clients the best unbiased service, we gladly provide the service to take the samples but then the samples are sent to an independent, yet well respected, third party laboratory. 

​However, keep in mind that when the mold infestation is visible, it's not always necessary to discover exactly what type of mold is in your home- all indoor mold growth should be removed for the health of the inhabitants and for the sake of keeping building materials from being devoured.  The protocol for all species of mold remediation is accomplished the same way.

Consider contacting Hero Mold Removal of the Tidewater area of Virginia when you need assistance in evaluating Mold growth or Odor Remediation of a business property. Obvious cues, such as water stains on walls, ceilings, carpets, strong musty odors or visible mold growth should be checked out by experts, and then fixed to prevent an ever widening area of infestation. 
For those who suspect hidden mold, we employ technical equipment such as:

• ​Infrared Camera uses infrared radiation to forms a picture of a heat or temperature zone about the subject.  Red areas are hot and blue areas are cold which can be used to find water leaks because anywhere water is the temperature will be cooler due to evaporation. However the blue color may also indicate a air leak of cooler outside air so we need another tool that will determine moisture content.
  
• Moisture Meter will measure the amount of moisture in an object such as framing studs, a wall, carpet and other types of flooring. The use of these tools will assist in finding excessive locations of moisture.    

 We Use Industry Suggested Mold Remediation Methods

Mold and mildew are types of fungi that produce noxious odors that become stronger as they spread, and will cause respiratory ailments in many people. However, their appearance is different: Mold is puffy (3 dimensional), usually somewhat fuzzy, and appears in shades of black, red, blue, and green. Mildew appears 2 dimensional (flat) laying on-top of a surface rather than burrowing into it. It's colored in patches of grey and white with a powdery texture.

Our Treatment is effective with both mold and mildew:

• Remove the water source feeding the mold colony- no water no life.
• Enclosure of infected areas with a surrounding chamber made of plastic sheeting and tape which will constrain mold spores stirred up while cleaning from moving into clean areas.
• Negative air pressure is used inside the chamber to stop flow of air currents moving out when the chamber is accessed.
• HEPA Vacuums will be used to capture the mold spores during cleanup.
• Unsalvageable building materials will placed in bags and taken to the Dump. Building material able to be saved will be scrubbed with a mold killing solution and dried.
• All treated areas will be cleaned of all dust and debris leaving it ready for repairs, remodeling or occupancy.

Unlike other mold remediation companies we repair stud work, drywall, flooring, electrical and plumbing- no need to search out other contractors and worry about scheduling or trustworthiness.

Before Encapsulation

After Encapsulation

 Crawlspace Encapsulation Specialist: Priced Right Hero Mold Company 

Poor quality air in a home’s crawlspace generally doesn’t get the inspection or the cleanup that is needed.  Mostly, people don't pay attention to what they can't see until something happens, such as, a family member getting sick, horrid smells drifting upwards or an unusual number of pests in the house.  Investigation of problems with traditional crawlspaces has improved our understanding of air flow for example, we now know that 50% to 70% of air inside our homes comes from the crawl space. This air could be teeming with mold spores, mildew odors, radon gas and bacteria from pest waste, all of which, will be traveling upwards carrying foul odors and sickness with it.

Crawlspace Encapsulation solves the air pollution problem by building an envelope around your home and dividing it from the environment meaning the earth below and the surrounding climate.  Crawlspace Encapsulation basically does the following:

• All debris will be cleaned out including mold infested insulation and repairs made to rotted framing.
  
• A poly membrane will be laid upon the ground in addition to ridding up the foundation walls slightly and then all seal at seams with tape.
• Insulating boards will be placed against the foundation walls to prevent heat loss during the winter and heat gain during the winter.
• Lastly, a Dehumidifier will be placed in the crawlspace to control humidity that may travel from the home above.

Ask Hero Mold Removal to test your Crawl Space for Polluted air free of charge or obligation- easy way to find out what your family is breathing in.
