ServiceMaster by Mason provides mold inspection, air quality testing and mold removal and cleanup services in Rhode Island and Connecticut

Mold is more than just a smelly nuisance. Many home and business owners are unaware that mold can discolor and cause severe structural damage and even serious health concerns. Indoor mold contamination has been identified as a major contributor to allergies and respiratory problems, costly property destruction, and poor indoor air quality. Any time excessive moisture is present indoors, whether from a flood, a slow leak, broken pipe or just high humidity, mold can grow in as little as 24-48 hours.

Whether mold is visible in a property, or unseen but suspected, ServiceMaster By Mason can help! For over 30 years, we’ve served as experts in mold inspection, mold cleaning and mold remediation services, and mildew removal, to create a clean and healthy environment. Our skilled technicians will thoroughly remove mold and clean and sanitize your property, preventing harmful mold from spreading to unaffected areas with the use of commercial grade anti-microbial agents and the most effective tools and technology for all types of mold removal, including black mold removal.

Water damage, a leaky pipe, or broken sprinkler head can often cause moisture to gather within the walls or ceilings of your property. In these situations, a full-scale mold infestation can quickly develop, and an immediate response is needed to limit the damage and health concerns, clean and eliminate mold or mildew.

The negative effects of mold spores and mold growth can include: 

  • Damage to your building’s structure and stability
  • Musty odor and discoloration of walls, ceilings, floors, and other hard surfaces
  • Destruction of contents in your home or building
  • Worsened allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems
  • Itchy eyes, running nose, dermatitis (skin rash), headaches and coughing
  • Poor indoor air quality
  • Inability to mortgage a home

DISCOVER MOLD SPORES WITH AIR QUALITY TESTING

When you can see visible mold growth, it’s easy to form a plan of attack to remove harmful mold and prevent further destruction. But what happens when you can’t see it? Mold spores are only 3 to 7 microns in size, too small for the human eye to detect and since they’re aerodynamic, can quickly spread throughout a property. That’s when you need a thorough mold inspection or mold air quality testing to determine where all mold spores are hiding, whether elevated levels exist, what types of mold are present, determine protective gear needed and identify potential health risks.

ServiceMaster By Mason Owner, Ryan Mason, is certified with the Professional Mold Inspection Institute to perform mold indoor air quality testing for microbial growth (mold) issues in homes and businesses. We will carefully collect air, swab, tape or bulk item samples and send overnight express to a Certified Laboratory. When you need mold air testing, we’ll get you quick and accurate results.

DON’T DIY! TRUST THE EXPERTS FOR MOLD REMOVAL & MOLD REMEDIATION

Special expertise is needed for effective mold and mildew removal and even toxic mold removal. Bleach or other retail cleaning products will simply stir up and spread the mold spores, contaminating other areas of your home or business. Visible mold growth in your home, office or housing complex is a likely indication of a greater problem lurking nearby. Mold in attics and basements can use your hot air/cooling system to quickly spread to other areas in your property.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a helpful guidebook for homeowners about mold cleanup and prevention of mold problems in homes at: https://www.epa.gov/mold

The industry guidelines we follow for removing mold, the IICRC S320 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation, is available at: https://iicrc.org/category/standards/

Keep your home or business safe from destructive mold with these tips:

  • Monitor your home’s humidity levels. Use a hygrometer or humidity monitor to keep humidity levels between 40% – 60%.

  • Use exhaust fans in bathrooms & kitchens. Hot showers and cooking can cause condensation, but running an exhaust fan during and at 10-15 minutes after these activities will reduce excess moisture.

  • Utilize an air conditioner or dehumidifier. This is important during humid months and in damp spaces like basements.

  • Check for leaks in your roof, walls or plumbing. Repair leaks as quickly as possible to control moistur
