Mold Cleaning and Mold Removal Maine

Mold Cleaning in Maine Homes and Businesses

We are one of the few mold remediation companies who are certified as a licensed Pesticide Applicator by the State of Maine. With IICRC and RIA certified technicians and state-of-the-art equipment, we can remediate almost any size commercial or residential loss. If you have a mold issue in your home or business, we will provide an estimate and a scope of work, remove or treat the affected areas and dry out any rooms or spaces where mold can grow. Visible mold most often is not the problem. Mold thrives in dark, humid, and undisturbed areas such as the backsides of walls. The source of moisture must be identified and removed as well or mold will come right back and re-establish itself.

While we guarantee our work we also partner with virtually every third-party industrial hygienist in the state who can certify that the mold from that loss will not return and that there is no danger to your family or employees.

More on Mold in Maine

Mold is an aggressive living organism. Mold removal Maine is different from other place in the country. There are thousands of species in Maine that are in the air all around us and simply need a food source, moisture, and to be undisturbed in order to thrive. Many Maine homes are perfect places for mold to grow as many are close to bodies of water, keeping humidity high year round. Seasonal homes are particularly at risk if left unattended for months at a time.

Mold releases spores into the air which will settle and propagate, making removal of mold extremely difficult. Even when all of the visible mold has been removed, many spores will remain in the air, ready to settle and begin to grow again.

The reason why mold is so dangerous is because it emits waste products into the air called mycotoxins. Some of these chemicals can be relatively benign while others are poisonous and have dangerous side effects, particularly on children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. Mold spores, particularly in high concentrations, can also cause health risks.
