Mold Air Treatment
Mold can appear visibly on surfaces, or its spores may be present in the air. Our Mold Air Treatment service uses an anti-microbial mist to target and eliminate mold spores in the air, significantly improving air quality. This treatment is especially effective for dealing with invisible mold spores that can affect your health and well-being. Please note that visible mold must be physically remediated and cannot be treated with air treatment alone. For visible mold, we offer complete mold remediation services to safely remove and prevent further growth. White Glove Restoration uses a plant-based antimicrobial product, which is EPA registered and approved. It’s safe for both humans and pets, providing peace of mind during the treatment process.
1. What is Mold Air Treatment?
Answer: Mold Air Treatment is a service where we use an anti-microbial mist to target and eliminate mold spores in the air. It helps improve indoor air quality and reduces health risks associated with airborne mold spores.
2. How does Mold Air Treatment work?
Answer: The mist is sprayed into the air, and it attacks the mold spores, effectively neutralizing them. This process improves the air quality in your home, making it safer for breathing and improving overall well-being.
3. Is Mold Air Treatment effective for visible mold?
Answer: No, Mold Air Treatment is only effective for airborne mold spores. If mold is visible on surfaces, it must be physically removed through mold remediation. The air treatment helps with invisible mold spores that can’t be seen but still affect the air quality.
4. Is Mold Air Treatment Safe?
Answer: Yes, the product we use is EPA registered, plant-based, and non-toxic to both humans and pets. It’s a safe, eco-friendly solution that provides effective mold spore removal without harming the environment or your health.
5. How long does the Mold Air Treatment process take?
Answer: Typically, the treatment takes just 1–2 hours depending on the size of the area. Afterward, you can return to the treated space, although we recommend waiting a bit for the air to settle.
6. How often should Mold Air Treatment be done?
Answer: The frequency depends on your home’s environment. If you’ve recently had a mold issue, one treatment might be enough. For homes in areas with high humidity or previous mold problems, we may recommend periodic treatments for ongoing air quality improvement.
7. Can Mold Air Treatment prevent mold from coming back?
Answer: Mold Air Treatment helps remove spores from the air, improving air quality, but it is not a permanent solution for mold prevention. Physical remediation and moisture control are necessary to stop mold from returning. We recommend addressing the source of moisture to prevent further mold growth.
8. Do I need to vacate my home during the treatment?
Answer: No, you do not need to vacate your home during the treatment, but it’s advisable to stay out of the immediate area being treated for about 30 minutes to an hour after the mist has been applied.
9. Will Mold Air Treatment help with odors caused by mold?
Answer: Yes, the antimicrobial mist also helps eliminate musty odors caused by mold spores in the air. While it doesn’t remove visible mold odors from surfaces, it improves the overall air quality and helps reduce unpleasant smells.
10. How do I know if I need Mold Air Treatment?
Answer: If you’ve experienced visible mold or suspect mold growth in your home, especially in areas with poor ventilation (like basements or bathrooms), Mold Air Treatment can help address the airborne spores. If you have symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or headaches when inside, this service can also improve your home’s air quality.
