Our Mold Removal & Mold Remediation Process
When you call Hall Restoration we will immediately send one of our fire damage technicians to your property to review the damages caused by the fire. With this consultation our technician will collect all of the available information to prepare a repair plan for you with accurate cost and timeline projections.
Depending on the nature of the fire damage, there may be some standing water or water damage on your property. Removing this water is the first step towards restoring your property and will be our main priority.
After the water has been removed, our team will work diligently to identify and clean up any damaged materials. This step is crucial for preparing the property for the fire damage repairs.
Once the property is cleaned and dried we can start on the repair process. Our technicians will identify the areas that need repair and begin to address the damage. Our team will work to restore any fire, smoke, and water damage that we find in order to fully restore your property to its pre-loss condition.
With all of our jobs, you can rely on the experts at Hall Restoration to maintain impeccable documentation throughout the process. This allows us to ensure that you recieve any and all insurance assistance that you are due, and that all repairs and damages have been accounted for.
Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Mold Damage?
Mold damage is generally not covered by your homeowner’s insurance plan. This is damage that is generally caused by negligence and will often be looked at that way by your claim adjuster. There are some cases where the mold damage will be covered. For one, if your property has recently been damaged by water damage that was covered by your insurance provider and the mold damage is a direct result of that water damage, then the damage will be linked to the initial covered disaster and you may be covered for any further damages.
When you work with Hall Restoration, we will help work with your insurance provider to ensure you receive the coverage you deserve.
Common Questions About Mold
Mold is a common name used to describe a variety of different fungal species.
There is not one black mold, but actually a number of different mold species that produce a black fruiting body. Some molds are in fact more dangerous than others, but just by looking it can be nearly impossible to tell. Call your local mold removal experts and see if they can come test your mold to see exactly what you are being exposed to.
The reality is that these fungal species, or mold, is in every breath of air we take, and exposure to normal amounts of mold is perfectly fine, though heightened densities of mold can cause a wide range of health hazards.
Bleach can in some cases kill mold, and this is great. However, the reality is that you would likely only be killing off the surface mold and not killing off anything as much as knocking it back a bit. But what you need to do is actually address the underlying issue causing the mold to develop in the first place.
