PuroClean Mold Remediation Services


Mold growth occurs when materials stay wet for extended periods of time. Moisture intrusion can happen for several reasons, including but not limited to:

  • Construction defects. Faulty construction practices or poor materials can lead to water intrusion, providing the ideal conditions for mold growth.
  • Plumbing failures. Leaks or broken pipes can cause water to accumulate in hidden areas, leading to mold development.
  • Breaks in appliance water lines or drain lines. A rupture in appliance water lines or drain pipes can release water into areas that are difficult to detect, creating a breeding ground for mold.
  • Lack of proper maintenance. Failing to maintain plumbing systems, appliances, or roofing can allow moisture to persist, leading to mold issues over time.
  • Weather-related issues, such as storms or hurricanes. Extreme weather events, like heavy rain or flooding from hurricanes, can cause moisture to infiltrate homes and businesses, promoting mold growth.

When mold is discovered in your home or business, it is crucial to act quickly and remediate the issue to prevent further damage. Additionally, structural materials should be dried as soon as possible to limit mold growth.

PuroClean’s IICRC-certified technicians follow industry standards to properly remediate mold and restore affected property. Our goal is to return your property to its pre-loss condition by following these steps:

  1. Assess the Situation: We begin by inspecting the affected area(s) to establish a detailed scope of remediation and repair.
  2. Containment: Using engineering controls, we create containment areas with negative pressure and HEPA air filtration devices to prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas.
  3. Remediation Protocol: We carefully remove contaminated materials following industry standards and clean the air with HEPA filters and vacuums.
  4. Surface Cleaning: All surfaces are cleaned with EPA-registered disinfectants, followed by thorough HEPA vacuuming to remove any remaining mold particles.

Once the remediation process is complete, we recommend having a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) conduct a third-party clearance test to ensure the space is safe for re-occupancy. You can find a CIH through ACGIH.org.

We provide a complete estimate, including photos, to the agent or adjuster within 24-48 hours. Our commitment to quality ensures that you’ll receive ongoing communication and detailed reporting throughout the process.

Each PuroClean franchise works closely with indoor environmental professionals (IEPs) and laboratories to protect you and your family from potential mold hazards. PuroClean professionals are trained, IICRC-certified, and ready to handle mold remediation with professionalism, reliability, and care.

Most Common Reasons For Mold Removal In Your Property


Construction Defects

Construction defects can compromise the structural integrity of a property, creating ideal conditions for mold growth. Poorly sealed or constructed buildings are vulnerable to moisture intrusion, which can lead to mold infestations. Issues such as cracks in the foundation, improperly installed windows, inadequate insulation, and poor ventilation can all allow water to seep in, making mold removal necessary.

Plumbing Failures

Plumbing failures, such as leaks or blockages, are common culprits behind mold growth in a property. Water seeping into walls or floors from these issues creates a moist environment that encourages mold development. If left untreated, mold will grow and require professional mold removal services to restore a safe and healthy living space.

Appliance Failures

Faulty appliances, like leaky dishwashers, water heaters, or washing machines, can lead to mold growth when water seeps into hidden or poorly ventilated areas. When water accumulates behind walls or under floors, it provides the perfect environment for mold to thrive. Regular appliance maintenance and inspections are essential to prevent water damage that may result in the need for mold removal.

Improper Property Maintenance

Neglecting regular property maintenance can cause mold to flourish. Failing to address leaks, plumbing issues, poor ventilation, or roof drainage problems creates conditions conducive to mold growth. In many cases, improper maintenance can also void insurance claims related to water damage, highlighting the importance of routine care to avoid costly mold removal services.

Other Reasons for Mold Removal and Remediation in Your Property

Roof Leaks

Roof leaks allow water to seep into your property, creating an environment where mold can easily grow. Water often infiltrates attics or hidden spaces within the roof, where it can remain unnoticed, leading to mold development. If undetected, the mold can spread and cause structural damage, making it essential to address roof leaks and perform mold removal promptly.

Weather-Related Incidents

Heavy rains, floods, or storm-related moisture can introduce excess water into your property, providing the perfect conditions for mold growth. Even after the storm has passed, the lingering moisture in walls, floors, and other surfaces can foster mold spores, which can multiply and spread. Quick mold remediation is crucial to prevent long-term damage from these weather-induced moisture issues.

Excessive Humidity

High humidity levels, especially above 60% RH, create ideal conditions for mold to grow, particularly in poorly ventilated spaces. Areas such as bathrooms, basements, crawlspaces, and closed-off rooms are more vulnerable to mold development when humidity is excessive. If left unchecked, high humidity will hinder proper drying and allow mold to proliferate throughout the space.
