About us

Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as the public becomes aware that exposure to mold can cause a variety of health effects and symptoms, including allergic reactions. This document presents guidelines for the remediation/cleanup of mold and moisture problems in facilities at NC State University including measures designed to protect the health of building occupants and remediators. Mold can be found almost anywhere; it can grow on virtually any organic substance, as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There is mold that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled indoors by controlling moisture indoors. Since mold requires water to grow, it is important to prevent moisture problems in buildings. Moisture problems can have many causes, including uncontrolled humidity. Some moisture problems in buildings have been linked to changes in building construction practices during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Some of these changes have resulted in buildings that are tightly sealed, but may lack adequate ventilation, potentially leading to moisture buildup. Building materials, such as drywall, may not allow moisture to escape easily. Moisture problems may include roof leaks, landscaping or gutters that direct water into or under the building, and unvented combustion appliances. Delayed maintenance or insufficient maintenance are also associated with moisture problems in schools and large buildings. Moisture problems in portable classrooms and other temporary structures have frequently been associated with mold problems. Prevention Fix leaky plumbing and leaks in the building envelope as soon as possible. Watch for condensation and wet spots. Fix source(s) of moisture problem(s) as soon as possible. Prevent moisture due to condensation by increasing surface temperature or reducing the moisture level in air (humidity). To increase surface temperature, insulate or increase air circulation. To reduce the moisture level in air, repair leaks, increase ventilation (if outside air is cold and dry), or dehumidify (if outdoor air is warm and humid). Keep heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) drip pans clean, flowing properly, and unobstructed. Vent moisture-generating appliances, such as dryers, to the outside where possible. Maintain low indoor humidity, below 60% relative humidity (RH), ideally 30-50%, if possible. Perform regular building/HVAC inspections and maintenance as scheduled. Clean and dry wet or damp spots within 48 hours. Don't let foundations stay wet. Provide drainage and slope the ground away from the foundation. Hidden Mold In some cases, indoor mold growth may not be obvious. It is possible that mold may be growing on hidden surfaces, such as the backside of dry wall, wallpaper, or paneling, the top of ceiling tiles, the underside of carpets and pads, etc. Possible locations of hidden mold can include pipe chases and utility tunnels (with leaking or condensing pipes), walls behind furniture (where condensation forms), condensate drain pans inside air handling units, porous thermal or acoustic liners inside ductwork, or roof materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation). Some building materials, such as dry wall with vinyl wallpaper over it or wood paneling, may act as vapor barriers, trapping moisture underneath their surfaces and thereby providing a moist environment where mold can grow. You may suspect hidden mold if a building smells moldy, but you cannot see the source, or if you know there has been water damage and building occupants are reporting health problems. Investigating hidden mold problems may be difficult and will require caution when the investigation involves disturbing potential sites of mold growth-make sure to use PPE. For example, removal of wallpaper can lead to a massive release of spores from mold growing on the underside of the paper. If you discover hidden mold, you should revise your remediation plan to account for the total area affected by mold growth. Remediation Plan Assess the size of the mold or moisture problem and the type of damaged materials before planning the remediation work. The decision to relocate occupants should consider the size and type of the area affected by mold growth, the type and extent of health effects reported by the occupants, the potential health risks that could be associated with debris, and the amount of disruption likely to be caused by remediation activities. If possible, remediation activities should be scheduled during off-hours when building occupants are less likely to be affected.

I cannot say enough good things about Mold Be Gone. In my opinion they are the only game in town for mold remediation. Anthony and Amanda are smart, diligent, meticulous, honest and really care about their clients. Had I not used them, I would never have discovered the source of the mold in my home. In addition to their inspection of my home, I also had another company do an inspection. That company was so off-base in its assessment and remediation recommendation it was frightening. Anthony and Amanda were so concerned about my home that they asked to come do a second inspection over the Thanksgiving weekend last year (2010) . They stayed for over two hours and did not charge me a cent (they never charged for the first inspection either)! Other companies charge as much as $300 for an inspection. They were able to show me exactly what was and what was not the source of mold in my home. They embody the old-time values of customer service: excellent work, integrity, sincere care for their clients and reliability (they even provide a warranty). They are simply the best company in Atlanta for water damage repair and mold remediation.
Description of Work: Initially, Mold Be Gone did a thorough inspection of my home to determine the moisture source that was the cause of the mold that was everywhere in my home - that moisture source being water vapor escaping into my home from a damaged clothes dryer vent. Then Mold Be Gone handled the mold remediation which involved an almost 100% dismantling of my home, i.e. removal of most of the drywall, removal of one ceiling, removal of all molding (baseboard, crown molding, chair rail), removal of insulation, removal of all carpet, removal of all furniture, decorative items and art work from my home to a storage unit, removal of the subfloor in my upstairs, and removal of bathroom tile and toilets. Additionally, Mold Be Gone did extensive research on how to put my house back together to make sure that there would never be a mold problem again, i.e. engaging the assistance of a home inspector to help with the research (at no cost to me), determining how to improve the operation of my air conditioning system for optimal removal of moisture from the air, determining how to properly vent the moisture from my clothes dryer, and finding the best insulation for my home. All furniture, decorative items and art work were meticulously cleaned before they were placed in the storage unit. Once the house was dismantled, the entire home was treated with mold removal products - products with which the home inspector advised me he was very impressed. The last phase of the remediation will happen on 1/28/11, when Mold Be Gone returns my furniture and decorative items to my home. Lastly, the company will be making periodic inspections of my home to make sure the mold does not return - at no cost to me.
