Rainbow Restoration of Kona
Nobody wants to find mold growth in their home or building because of the damage it causes or the effect it can have on your health. Mold growth is most likely to appear in indoor areas affected by excess moisture or water damage and it latches onto building materials and furnishings that contain organic food sources. It can also appear in hidden areas such as behind walls and cause serious damage before you notice it’s there. Mold growth needs to be removed immediately or it will spread and increase the damage to your property and put you at higher risk for related health issues.
Rainbow Restoration of Kona provides mold remediation services in Kailua-Kona, HI, and the surrounding areas in Hawaii County to remove mold growth from homes and buildings. We use advanced remediation methods to find all mold growth within the property and ensure its complete removal. Our technicians will also remove permanently damaged materials as well as clean and restore the affected areas.
Mold Damage: It’s Effects and Complications
Mold can cause significant property damage if it is not addressed swiftly. Mold growth forms in areas with excess moisture because the spores need a moisture source to survive and it feeds on cellulose, an organic material found in common building materials and furnishings such as wood, drywall, wallpaper, carpeting, ceiling tiles, and insulation. Once mold growth takes hold, it devours the affected materials, leading to significant damage, sometimes structural damage if it affects ceilings and drywall. If the mold growth is not removed, it can spread to new areas by dispersing its spores.
The other concern when dealing with mold growth is how it can affect your health. Exposure to mold can cause people to experience a number of allergic reactions including nasal congestion, coughing, skin irritation, headaches, and itchy eyes and throat. It can also trigger symptoms in those with asthma and possibly cause more serious conditions like respiratory infections with prolonged exposure.
Calling our professionals for mold remediation as soon as you discover mold will help limit the damage and reduce potential health risks.

How to remove mold from refrigerator seal?
To get rid of mold on your refrigerator seal, mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the affected areas and let the solution sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, use a clean cloth or sponge to gently scrub the mold away. For tougher spots, you can use a soft-bristled brush. Once the mold is gone, dry the seal with a towel. Regular cleaning and drying will help prevent mold from coming back.
Both bleach and vinegar can kill mold, but they work differently. Bleach, like chlorine bleach, is strong and can kill mold on hard surfaces by getting inside its cells and destroying it. Vinegar, especially white vinegar, is acidic and can also kill mold. It works best on porous surfaces, breaking down mold and removing stains. However, vinegar might not be as strong as bleach and might not work as well on all surfaces. Depending on what you’re dealing with, either bleach or vinegar can get rid of mold effectively.
What are the Levels of Mold Damage?
Mold damage can vary from minor to severe. Level 1 is when it’s a small area, less than 10 square feet, and you can handle it with DIY cleaning. Level 2 is moderate, between 10 and 30 square feet, and may need professional help for thorough cleanup. Level 3 is widespread, over 30 square feet, with significant structural damage, requiring professional mold remediation to fix properly.
Mold Removal and Money Saving Tips
When it comes to mold, there are ways to save money. For smaller problems, you can try using DIY methods like vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. Acting quickly to stop mold from spreading can prevent bigger issues and expensive repairs down the line. Keeping areas well-ventilated and dry can also help prevent mold from returning, which saves you from having to spend more later on. Plus, getting advice from mold removal professionals can give you solutions that fit your budget and keep your home mold-free.
Mold Remediation Frequently Asked Questions
Should I test for mold and how is it done?
You should test for mold before and after removing it. Before, professionals will check for mold by taking samples from different areas in your home, like the air or surfaces. They might use swabs or air testing machines. After removing the mold, they’ll do more tests to make sure it’s all gone. This helps ensure your home is safe and mold-free.
How long does it take to get sick from living with mold?
It varies from person to person. Some might feel sick right away, while others may not notice any problems for weeks or even months. If you’re coughing, wheezing, or have skin irritation and suspect mold, it’s important to deal with it and get medical help if needed.
Who pays for mold remediation services?
It depends on your insurance and what caused the mold. If it’s from something your insurance covers, like a burst pipe, they might pay for it. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay for it yourself. Always check your policy.
Could mold and mildew grow back after it’s been removed by a professional?
Mold and mildew can return after professional removal, especially if there’s still moisture and water damage that haven’t been fixed. Keep in mind, when you hire mold remediation experts ask them to look for the source behind the cause.
