Certified Restoration  prides itself on offering a comprehensive plan to rid your home of molds and toxins.

Mold when left unchecked, black mold can cause a variety of symptoms of escalating severity. It might start with allergic reactions that don't seem triggered by anything in particular. Then the headaches begin. In its most extreme forms, black mold sickness can cause intense coughing complete with bloody phlegm.

Black mold is attracted to the moisture in your home's crawlspace, but wet basements are favorite breeding ground. If you've got a substantial amount of basement moisture, or if you've got a leaking basement, it's a good bet black mold is present in some form. If that's the case, you need to call a qualified professional mold removal company.

Statewide follows  a protocol for determining whether there's toxic mold present, eliminating it if it is, and taking steps to make sure it doesn't come back. Here are the five basic steps:

Assessment. First we test and inspect  to determine the extent of mold infiltration.

Containment. Once a full-blown mold removal and remediation program begins, Statewide will need to completely close off the affected area. Black mold reproduces - and harms humans - by releasing spores into the air, and the mold removal process can involve blowing a lot of those spores around. So we will use lots of plastic sheeting and tape to avoid contaminating the rest of your home. If more than one room is contaminated, we will clean one room at a time.

Filtration. To scrub the air clean of mold spores and particulates matter, we will use air filtration machines with HEPA filters

Removal. Generally we will  need to remove a good deal of porous material, like wood or concrete. Sometimes this is because the mold has visibly destroyed the material in question. Like all things that are alive, mold wants to survive and reproduce, and the best way for it to escape certain death at the hands of a mold remediation contractor is to hunker down in the pores of a concrete basement or wooden windowsill.

Repair. After the removal process we will encapsulate the area and make the necessary structural repairs including replacing the affected sheet rock and repainting the area.
