Effective and Complete Mold Removal

How is mold identified?
Mold is a type of fungus that grows in multicellular filaments called hyphae. It is found nearly everywhere, including indoor and outdoor environments, but it thrives in moist, warm places. Common areas where we find mold growth in homes include bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and any other area where high humidity or water damage are present. Mold spores can spread through the air and are often invisible to the naked eye, making them difficult to detect and control. Mold is often mistaken for mildew, which is a completely different type of fungi.

At Alpha Restoration, we specialize in identifying and addressing mold issues in residential and commercial properties. Our team uses advanced detection methods to locate hidden mold growth, then perform an in-depth analysis to identify the mold type. We conduct thorough inspections of affected areas to assess the extent of the mold problem. Once identified, we develop a comprehensive remediation plan tailored to the specific needs of the property, ensuring a safe and effective solution to mold contamination.


Most Common Mold Species

There are thousands of species of mold, and each species brings a different level of danger to human health. Some molds, like Stachybotrys (black mold), produce potent mycotoxins that can lead to severe health issues, including respiratory problems, neurological damage, and allergic reactions. Other molds, such as Cladosporium, are more common and generally less harmful, typically causing only mild allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. While some molds are considered relatively non-threatening, it is important to address any mold growth promptly. Even “less dangerous” species can trigger health issues and contribute to gradually worsening structural damage in homes. Proper identification and remediation are the only ways to mitigate the risks associated with mold exposure.

  • Chaetomium
  • Stachybotrys
  • Trichoderma
  • Alternaria
  • Ulocladium
  • Serpula
  • Mucor
  • Aspergillus
  • Penicillium
  • Aureobasidium

How does mold affect human health?

Mold can adversely affect human health in several ways.

Allergenic Mold
These mold spores have the potential to trigger allergic responses in susceptible individuals, leading to symptoms such as skin irritation, runny nose, or sneezing.

Pathogenic Mold
People with weakened immune systems are susceptible to infections caused by these molds, which can result in respiratory or systemic illnesses.

Toxigenic Mold
Stachybotrys and other toxigenic mold species produce mycotoxins that, if consumed or breathed in, can cause significant health issues, such as organ toxicity and neurological harm.

How can homeowners prevent mold infestations?

  • Like many things in life, effectively preventing mold growth requires a forward-thinking approach. Alpha Restoration recommends taking the following steps to keep mold at bay.
  • Maintain proper airflow by installing exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Use a dehumidifier in any room where humidity or moisture might be present - especially bathrooms and basements.
  • Routinely check for water leaks and repair them as soon as you notice them.
  • Purchase a hygrometer and use it to make sure your indoor humidity stays under 60%. If it rises above this threshold, incorporate humidifiers wherever possible.
  • If you find wetness or dampness anywhere in your home, clean and dry it promptly (within 48 hours of discovery).
  • Talk to the team at Alpha Restoration to develop a routine inspection plan.
  • Keep your indoor environment clean by checking air ducts regularly.
  • Call Alpha Restoration at the first sign of mold.
