The presence of mold in your home or building can result in several problems as mold causes serious property damage, adverse health effects, and musty odors. Mold often appears in environments in which it has a food source and a moisture source and it is a threat to spread to unaffected areas by dispersing its spores. RestorationMaster provides mold remediation services to remove mold growth from homes and buildings in Brooklyn, NY. We arrive quickly to help keep the mold growth contained and remove it using the best equipment and cleaning products available.
Moisture is the main trigger of mold growth which makes it most likely to appear if you have experienced water damage. Mold often uses cellulose, which is a substance found in wood and drywall, as a food source and the damage it causes to these surfaces can become irreversible if given enough time. Prolonged exposure to mold also greatly increases the risk of experiencing related health issues such as allergies and respiratory issues. Our technicians can effectively remove mold using advanced equipment and cleaning methods including HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial cleaning. We can also provide testing and analysis through a nationally recognized testing facility.
