Mold growth is always an unwelcome sight in homes and buildings because of the damage it can cause and the way it can affect your health.  Mold commonly appears indoors in damp or moist areas, and it feeds on organic substances found in common building materials like wood and drywall.  If mold growth is not dealt with quickly, the amount and extent of the damage will increase as the mold continues to spread.  There will also be a higher risk of health effects caused by mold exposure.

At Top To Bottom Renovation, Inc., we provide mold remediation services to fully remove all mold growth from homes and buildings in Mitchellville and Greater Landover, MD.  Our technicians will contain and remove the mold growth and fully restore the damage caused. We use the best methods and technologies to restore your home to its pre-mold condition.

What Causes Mold?

Mold is a fungus that thrives in warm, damp, and humid environments, making it a common issue in homes and businesses.   Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours after water damage occurs, which is why a prompt response is important. Several factors contribute to its growth, making it essential to address any moisture issues in your property. Here are some of the primary causes of mold:

• Flooding
• Leaky Roofs of Windows
• Water Leaks
• Sewage Backups
• Burst Pipes
• Flooded Basements
• Plumbing Leaks

Damages Caused by Mold

Any amount of mold that appears in your home or building can cause significant damage if it is not addressed.  Mold growth appears in areas that provide it with moisture and food sources, and it slowly eats away at the affected materials which can cause structural damage if given enough time.  Once mold growth appears, there is a risk that it can spread to new areas and increase the total amount of damage.

The other major concern with mold growth is the potential health effects.  Being exposed to mold can cause allergic reactions in some people including headaches, breathing issues, nasal congestion, coughing, skin irritation, and itchy eyes and throat.  Prolonged exposure increases the risk and severity of these symptoms and could even lead to worse health issues.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mold Damage Restoration

How do you neutralize mold in the air?

For mold remediation in the air, the most common solution is an air purifier. Air purifiers can capture harmful particles, filter contaminated elements in your indoor air, and release fresh and clean air in return.

Can air purifiers remove mold spores?

There is no technology that is guaranteed to remove mold spores 100%. Air purifier plays a vital role in reducing the amount of mold spores. However, mold normally originates from porous materials within your house structure. As long as the root of mold growth remains in your house, it will continue to spread through the air of your living spaces.

Will opening windows reduce mold?

Yes, opening a window is a way to increase ventilation and create airflow for your room. It helps reduce and prevent further mold growth because mold likes to develop in a high-temperature and humid environment.

"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!"

"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!"

“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!”
