Common Misconceptions Regarding DIY Mold Remediation
Many individuals are scared of the potentially high price that mold remediation can bring and attempt to clean the problem themselves. While in some cases this is a valid option, it is important that you know what you are doing so that you do not make the problem worse by trying to save money. Here are three common misconceptions that we often hear after coming to a job that was made worse by an individual attempting DIY mold removal.
- Do not try to clean any mold with at-home remedies, such as bleach or vinegar. Any improper cleaning techniques can actually worsen the damage and cause it to spread further.
- Do not paint or caulk over any moldy surfaces. This does not treat the problem, but in fact, makes the problem spread faster.
- Do not touch any moldy surfaces directly as it can release its spores and pose severe health risks.
Creating a negatively pressurized area when cleaning mold is vitally important when trying to prevent the spread of spores. At Top To Bottom Renovation, Inc. we use containment and high-powered air scrubbers to clean the air as we clean the mold surfaces. That way we can stop the spread of mold in your home and bring your life back to normal.

Review by Denise Greene
"Top To Bottom is highly exceptional on every level from the quality of work to professionalism. This was my first time dealing with a flood as well as filing an insurance claim. Fred not only walked me through the process but was always available to the insurance company for their requests and visits. Unfortunately, I was out of state during the critical moments of the renovation. But, Fred went above and beyond to make a complicated situation extremely easy. His communication was thorough and consistent; and, he took the lead with other contractors to ensure that the project remained on schedule. Most importantly, I was completely at ease given the care Fred and his team took with our home. And, our kitchen looks beautiful!!! We are so fortunate to have found Top To Bottom!"
Review by Karen M
"OUTSTANDING!!! Fred and his team were professional, prompt, responsive and went way above and beyond in the services they provided. I contacted them to assist with water damage from a pipe that burst. His team handled the cleanup and water mitigation flawlessly. He always stayed in communication and responded to my calls, texts and questions. A week later I had a leak at another property and Fred was my first call. He handled the 2nd house as well and even identified additional things that needed to be addressed with the furnace, roof and mold. I'd give 6 stars if possible. ****** Call Fred. He'll get it done!"
Review by Kari Muhammad
“I can't recommend this company highly enough! Imagine getting a call in the middle of the night and being told that a pipe burst and your basement is filled ankle-high with water. That's what I was dealing with when I spoke to Fred at 4am. He immediately got a team out and they took care of the problem- getting up the water, cutting open the ceiling and the walls in several rooms. They took up the floor throughout the basement and installed heavy duty dryers. They came out everyday to assess the moisture level until everything was all dry. I was out of town while all of this was taking place, but Fred was very easy to work with and he called and/or texted me everyday! I didn't get the chance to meet him until 3 weeks later when he came by to pick up the payment. A true professional, who's company is licensed and bonded and my insurance company is very familiar with. Such a pleasure!”
