Our Mold Remediation Process

Choosing a restoration company like Accountable Home Services is essential for effective mold remediation. If not handled properly, the process can inadvertently cause mold spores to spread throughout the property. Mold remediation is a serious and meticulous process due to potential health hazards.

 

Our mold remediation process involves the following:

​

1. Mold Testing & Mold Inspection: We start with a comprehensive inspection of the property to identify visible mold growth and the underlying moisture sources causing it. Mold testing can determine the type and extent of mold present, which is crucial for developing an effective remediation plan.

2. Containment: We isolate the affected area to prevent the spread of mold spores, using plastic sheeting and possibly negative air pressure to contain mold spores.

3. Air Filtration: We use HEPA filters and air scrubbers to purify the air of mold spores and other particulates. This step maintains air quality and prevents the spread of mold spores during remediation.

4. Mold Removal: Different methods are used depending on the surfaces involved. Non-porous materials might be cleaned and saved, while porous materials may need to be discarded and replaced. We use special cleaning agents and antimicrobials to eradicate the mold.

5. Restoration and Prevention: Post mold removal, we identify and rectify the root cause of mold to prevent recurrence. We use moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden water sources, repair any water damage, and improve ventilation. Regular maintenance and waterproofing of vulnerable areas are key preventive measures. The completion of remediation is confirmed by a final inspection and air quality testing.

Who Pays for Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation costs can often be offset by homeowner's insurance policies, especially when the mold damage is the result of unexpected incidents. These may include events such as burst pipes, water heater leaks, or other sudden accidents. In these scenarios, your insurance policy may cover the costs of remediation, allowing for effective and swift mold removal without significant out-of-pocket expenses. 

 

However, it's important to note that if the mold infestation is due to neglect of routine property maintenance, the owner might be held financially responsible for the remediation costs. For instance, continuous leaks left unattended or lack of proper ventilation leading to high humidity levels can result in mold growth. In these situations, insurance companies may not cover the remediation costs as the mold growth could have been preventable with timely maintenance.

 

To avoid any ambiguity, we recommend reviewing your homeowner's insurance policy to understand what is covered and what isn't. For professional advice and services, contact us at Best Option Restoration. We are always ready to help and guide you through the process.

Mold Remediation Cost

The cost of mold remediation in Denver, and the surrounding areas can range from $2.50 per square foot to $20 per square foot. This variation in price is due to several factors that can affect the process and complexity of mold remediation. 



1. Extent of Mold Infestation: The scope and severity of a mold problem are primary determinants of the cost. Larger areas with significant mold growth will generally be more expensive to remediate compared to small, isolated incidents.

2. Type of Mold: Some molds are more laborious and require specific techniques and equipment to remove. The type of mold present in your property can significantly impact the overall cost of remediation.

3. Location of the Mold: If the mold growth is in hard-to-reach areas or confined spaces like crawl spaces or attics, it may require additional labor and equipment. Consequently, this can escalate the cost of the remediation.

4. Source of Moisture: Determining and addressing the source of moisture that led to the mold infestation is a crucial part of the process. The need to repair plumbing leaks or fix other moisture issues may contribute to the overall remediation cost.

5. Material Contamination: If mold has infiltrated the building materials, such as insulation, drywall, or flooring, the remediation cost may rise. This is due to the necessity for the removal and replacement of these materials.
