Mold has been classified by many Environmental Experts as the new Asbestos.  Although mold as a whole plays a vital part in our environment, high levels in the home can prove to be a great health risk or even fatal.  Mold is a microscopic organism which grows from spores.  There are mold spores everywhere in our environment, but they are usually inactive.  However, when the relative humidity exceeds 60%, the spores then germinate and multiply.  There are over 100,000 known species of mold worldwide.

How Does Mold Grow?

In order for mold to grow, it needs a food source such as leaves, wood, insulation, drywall or other building materials.  In addition, mold also needs a moist environment for at least 24 to 48 hours.  Temperatures above 65 degrees greatly increase the likeliness of mold growth. 

Why Does It Grow In My Home?

There are many different reasons mold starts to grow in our homes.  Flooding, sewer back-ups, leaky roofs, damp basements, and plumbing leaks are amongst the most common criminals in indoor mold problems. 

How Do We Fix The Problem?

Kleen Scene uses state of the art equipment, techniques and chemicals in the removal of Mold from your home or building.  Mold cannot simply be cleaned; it has to be physically removed from your building.  Initially, our technicians will set up a containment in the work area so not to contaminate any clean parts of your building.  After all of the proper containments have been established, the technicians will proceed to physically remove the mold from your building.  This usually means removing parts of drywall, carpeting, ceiling tiles or any other contaminated building materials. Once these have been removed, we then proceed to sand and clean any remaining wood beams or structural components in your building.  Finally, the once contaminated areas are treated with a chemical application to kill any lingering mold spores and to prevent any future mold growth in your home for up to 6 months.   A final air test will be performed by a 3rd party to prove that your mold problem has been successfully remediated.
