How Our Easton Mold Removal Works
Our Easton mold removal service includes a thorough 12-step process to ensure your property is free from harmful mold – and prevent it from returning. Our certified indoor air quality experts use an evidence-based approach to complete mold removal in Easton and the surrounding areas.
Mold evaluation
A certified indoor environmentalist (CIE) identifies the root cause of mold growth with a thorough inspection and testing protocol.
Area containment
We seal the affected area(s) using a physical barrier to prevent the mold spores from spreading before treating the area with an advanced HEPA filtration system.
Property protection
Your floors and belongings are protected from damage and contamination under tarps and covers.
HEPA vacuuming
A specially-designed HEPA vacuum eliminates dust, debris, and mold spores on your personal items.
Wet material demolition
If the affected areas have damp building materials that can promote future mold growth, we’ll demolish and remove them. These materials may include drywall, carpet, trim, insulation, or subfloors.
Antimicrobial treatment
To further inhibit future mold regrowth, an antimicrobial agent is applied to surfaces including roof rafters, floor joists, and other porous surfaces.
Surface sealing
To reduce groundwater weeping and hydraulic pressure, masonry walls receive a coat of sealant.
Surface mold scrubbing
The next step in the mold removal process is to apply an antimicrobial cleanser to affected surfaces and scrub away the possibility for regrowth.
Porous surfaces coating
To further inhibit a return of mold, porous surfaces receive an antimicrobial coating.
Air washing and re-testing
Beyond cleaning surfaces, our mold removal process includes ridding your space of any airborne mold spores using HEPA-equipped air washers. After 1-3 days after recirculation, we’ll re-test your space for the presence of mold.
Certify completion & warranty issuance
Once the mold removal process is complete and your space is free of mold, you’ll receive a certificate of completion and our two-year no-mold guarantee.
Building materials restoration (optional)
If you have building materials like walls and flooring that require restoration, we can provide that service to prevent you from having to coordinate multiple contractors in your home or office.
How Long Easton Mold Removal Takes
We can often complete the entire mold removal process within a few days. However, the precise time it will take to remove the mold at your property depends on:
- The amount of mold present
- Where the mold is growing
- The materials the mold is growing on
- The amount of damage
- Whether you require building material restoration
After evaluating your space and determining the complexity of the project, our Easton mold removal team will provide a more detailed timeline. Our goal is to complete the work as thoroughly and quickly as possible.

Which Types of Mold Should You Remove?
With about 100,000 different types of mold in our environment, it may be challenging to know which ones to remove. While it may go without saying, all toxic mold species are the first to go. These varieties, which include black mold, can pose dangerous health risks. But, what about the non-toxic ones? Even if the mold variety in your home or commercial building is not considered toxic, it can still cause mold allergy symptoms and property damage, making it best to remove.
Our Easton mold removal company commonly removes the follow three mold classifications:
Stachybotrys
Stachybotrys is one of the most dangerous types of mold because it produces toxins called mycotoxins that tend to cause the most health issues in both humans and animals. Also known as black mold, Stachybotrys is marked by a strong, musty odor that some people describe as rotting leaves. It can be dark green, brown, or black, and has a slimy or sooty texture. This type of mold often lurks in damp areas, such as bathrooms, crawlspaces, kitchens, and basements.
- Most dangerous type of mold
- Strong, musty odor
- Dark green, brown, or black color
- Slimy or sooty texture
Cladosporium
Cladosporium grows primarily in indoor spaces, often found in carpets, on the backs of toilets, inside cupboards, and on some painted surfaces. Visually, you may notice brown, green, or black spots, but it’s different than the more dangerous “black mold.” Cladosporium has a suede-like texture and can cause allergy-related symptoms in the eyes, nose, throat, or skin.
- Often affects interior spaces
- Brown, green, or black spots
- Suede-like texture
Aspergillus
Aspergillus is a broad category of mold, with several hundred species. It can live indoors and outdoors in damp areas, such as window frames or bathrooms. Aspergillus is a well-documented mold that produces toxic compounds that can cause health issues in certain people, including a fungal infection called Aspergillosis. As with other types of mold, Aspergillus often produces a musty odor.
- Indoors or outdoors
- Musty odor
- Not toxic, but can cause Aspergillosis fungal infection
If you’re not sure which type of mold you have in your home or office, contact our Easton mold removal experts for a thorough evaluation.
What Are the Health Effects of Mold?
Regardless of the type of mold in your environment, the CDC recommends removing it because of the vast potential health effects it can cause, including:
Stuffy nose
Sore throat
Coughing or wheezing
Lung infections
Skin rash
Itchy or burning eyes
Heart problems
Dizziness
Nose bleeds
Joint pain
Fatigue
Migraines
Shortness of breath
Depression
Fever
Sleep issues
Infections
Asthma in children
Beyond preventing adverse health effects, Easton mold removal can also prevent property damage. Some forms of mold can gradually eat away at materials, such as ceiling tiles, wallpaper, floorboards, framing materials, creating opportunities for dangerous and expensive structural damage.
