Protect your home and loved ones by eliminating mold
Mold, pollen, and other particulates pose a danger to many homes and offices. We should not ever have to worry about mold when we are working or relaxing.
Thorough Testing
Sometimes mold is easy to spot, but you don't know how deep inside your walls it has spread. It can grow in sinks, cabinets, and other places you frequent every day. If you find mold, the question remains: Do I call a professional? Thistle Environmental, LLC believes in quality, comprehensive testing.
While we will always encourage professional testing because you can never honestly know the extent of mold growth without it, there are some methods you can use to clean mold and fungi growth yourself.
We don't provide remediation; therefore, you can trust that our assessments are 100% in your interest.
Can I Clean Mold on My Own?
Generally, the EPA sets ten square feet as the limit for DIY mold removal. That's about a 3' x 3' spot of mold. Mold grows behind surfaces where it can move to your heating and air system, further contaminating the air you breathe.
When it grows more significant than that, we recommend you contact a professional. Some circumstances can lead to dangerous mold build-up. A Thistle Environmental technician can help you decide on the next steps.
The Severity of Water Damage
When mold starts to invade your home, it can threaten the health of occupants and cause extensive damages in your home. If not handled quickly and adequately, even the slightest moisture can turn into an infestation.
It is essential to immediately deal with moisture, humidity, and water to decrease significant mold growth.
