Choosing a restoration company like Cook's Proclean & Restoration is crucial, as improper remediation can lead to the spread of harmful mold spores throughout your property. Given the potential health hazards associated with mold, it is essential to take the remediation process seriously. Our meticulous mold remediation process includes the following steps:

1. Mold Testing & Mold Inspection :  We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to identify areas affected by mold growth. This includes air sampling and surface testing to determine the extent of the problem and the type of mold present.
2. Containment:  To prevent the spread of mold spores during the remediation process, we establish containment areas. This step may involve sealing off affected areas with plastic sheeting and using negative air pressure to keep spores from dispersing.
3. Air Filtration:  We utilize advanced air filtration systems equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to capture airborne mold spores and other contaminants, further ensuring a safe environment.
4. Mold Removal : Our trained technicians will carefully remove all visible mold, along with contaminated building materials. We adhere to industry best practices to ensure that mold is not simply spread to other areas of the property.
5. Restoration and Prevention: After the mold has been successfully removed, we will restore and repair any damaged areas. Additionally, we implement preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of future mold growth, such as improving ventilation and moisture control.

Understanding the cost of mold remediation is crucial for homeowners seeking to address mold issues effectively. In Commerce & Banks County and the surrounding areas, mold remediation typically costs between $2.50 to $20 per square foot. This price variation is influenced by several key factors:

• Extent of Mold Infestation:  The larger the area affected by mold, the higher the remediation cost. Severe infestations that require extensive treatment will lead to increased pricing.
• Type of Mold:  Some types of mold are more hazardous and challenging to remove than others, which can affect the overall cost. Certain molds may require specialized handling and disposal methods.
• Location of Mold: Mold located in hard-to-reach places may require additional labor and equipment, resulting in increased costs. For instance, mold found in attics or crawl spaces typically incurs higher remediation expenses.
• Source of Moisture: Identifying and addressing the source of moisture is essential for effective remediation. If extensive repairs are needed to stop water intrusion, it may increase the overall cost.
• Material Contamination: The type of building materials affected by mold can also influence costs. Porous materials, such as drywall and insulation, may need to be removed and replaced, while non-porous materials may only require cleaning.

Cook's Proclean & Restoration is able to handle every single type of mold. No matter the type of mold, the location, or the severity, we can lay out a game plan to completely remove the mold from your property. The types of mold we work with include:

• Stachybotrys chartarum (Black Mold):  Known for its dark appearance, black mold can pose significant health risks and requires thorough remediation.
• Penicillium:  This type of mold is often found in water-damaged environments and can accelerate the deterioration of materials.
• Aspergillus: Commonly found indoors, Aspergillus can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues, necessitating careful removal.
• Cladosporium: Frequently encountered in damp areas, this mold type can grow on various substrates, including wood and fabric, and can affect indoor air quality.
• Alternaria: Often found in soil and on plants, this mold can also thrive indoors under humid conditions, causing health problems for sensitive individuals.
