Construction Zone Cleaning offers fast, effective mold remediation as part of our complete restoration services for residential and commercial projects that have sustained damage from water.

Materials Most Susceptible to Mold

In nature, mold is responsible for the breakdown of organic material; most molds prefer to consume cellulose, a plant-based fiber, which is found in many household building and decorative materials. Thus, certain areas and items in your home can be more susceptible to mold, either because of their composition or their ability to readily absorb water.

• Drywall, gypsum, wood, and plywood are all easily digestible materials for molds, and common places to discover mold growth.
• Molds can also attack paper, cardboard, and organic adhesives, as well as wallpaper and particle board.
• Mold also grows easily on painted surfaces, tile grout, and fabrics such as carpeting, upholstery, and curtains.

 

 

Mold Testing and Clearance Testing    

Construction Zone Cleaning provides the mold cleaning services and always recommend a 3^rd Party Environmental and Industrial Hygiene (EIH) firm to perform any pre- and post-clearance testing when necessary. Be careful when thinking about contracting another mold remediation firm that performs the clearance on their own work.
