How It Works:
Mold is a hidden danger that can begin from the smallest, often unnoticed water source, such as a leak, drainage issue, or high humidity. Without the proper equipment and expertise, containment, mitigation, and restoration can be extremely difficult—and in many cases, impossible. Black mold is just one type of mold that can develop. Our trained Mold Remediation specialists are ready to respond quickly, addressing the damage regardless of the mold type or severity. Upon arrival, our specialists follow a certified process.
Mold is more than just an unsightly nuisance; it represents a significant threat to both the structural integrity of your property and the well-being of its inhabitants. Understanding the dangers associated with mold growth is crucial for prompt and effective action.
Exposure to mold can trigger a variety of health issues, particularly for individuals with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems. Common symptoms include respiratory problems, nasal and sinus congestion, eye irritation, skin rashes, and headaches. Certain types of mold can produce mycotoxins, which are toxic compounds that can lead to more severe health complications with prolonged exposure. Children, the elderly, and pets are often more susceptible to these adverse health effects.
Beyond health concerns, mold actively degrades the materials it grows on. It feeds on organic matter found in common building materials such as drywall, wood, carpet, and insulation. This degradation can lead to:
Structural Damage: Over time, mold can weaken wooden structures, drywall, and other components, compromising the structural integrity of your home.
Aesthetic Damage: Mold causes unsightly stains and discoloration on walls, ceilings, floors, and personal belongings, diminishing your home’s appearance and value.
Unpleasant Odors: A persistent musty odor is a tell-tale sign of mold growth, making your living environment uncomfortable and potentially indicating a larger, hidden problem.
One of the most challenging aspects of mold is its ability to spread quickly. Given the right conditions—moisture, warmth, and a food source—mold spores can colonize new areas within 24 to 48 hours. What starts as a small patch can rapidly become a widespread infestation, making early detection and professional intervention by Move Fast Restoration absolutely critical to prevent minor issues from becoming major, costly problems.
Recognizing when to seek professional help for mold is crucial to mitigate damage and protect health. While small, superficial mold spots might be manageable with household cleaners, larger infestations or specific circumstances warrant immediate professional intervention from Move Fast Restoration. Here are key indicators that it’s time to call our experts:
Visible Mold Growth: If you observe mold covering a significant area (more than a few square feet) on walls, ceilings, floors, or other surfaces, it’s too extensive for DIY removal. Professional containment and removal are necessary to prevent further spread.
Persistent Musty Odors: A strong, earthy, or musty smell, even without visible mold, is a clear sign of hidden mold growth. Mold often thrives in concealed spaces like behind drywall, under flooring, or within HVAC systems, emitting odors as it grows.
After Water Damage Incidents: Following any significant water intrusion—such as flooding, burst pipes, persistent leaks, or sewage backups—mold can begin to grow within 24-48 hours if moisture is not thoroughly dried and remediated. Even if you don’t see mold immediately, the risk is high, and a professional inspection is advisable.
Health Concerns Related to Mold Exposure: If occupants of your home are experiencing unexplained respiratory issues, persistent allergies, skin irritation, headaches, or other symptoms that seem to worsen when at home, mold could be the culprit. A professional assessment can identify if mold is contributing to these health problems.
Mold in HVAC Systems: If you suspect or see mold within your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, it requires specialized cleaning. An HVAC system can rapidly spread mold spores throughout your entire home, making professional remediation essential.
Compromised Immune Systems: If anyone in your household has a compromised immune system, severe allergies, or chronic respiratory conditions, even small amounts of mold can pose a serious health risk. In such cases, professional mold remediation should be sought immediately.
Uncertainty About Mold Type or Extent: If you’re unsure about the type of mold, its potential toxicity, or how far it has spread, it’s always best to consult with professionals. Our team can accurately assess the situation and recommend the most appropriate course of action.

Mold and mildew detection requires both an air and surface sampling. This step allows our trained specialists to not only confirm mold and mildew but identify the strain and amount to be dealt with.
Roof, foundation, or plumbing leaks; poor drainage; poor ventilation; or flooding – wherever the root cause of moister originates, we’ll find the source of the mold formation, repair the issues, and restore the infected area.
Thorough remediation by our trained, professional, staff are certified for mold detection, identification, and containment during removal. Molds germinate within 24-48 hours, so containment of all particles is essential to professional remediation without further contamination.
Our staff is certified and up to date, with regular training, on the most effective and thorough fungicide agents. We are equipped with the proper equipment to apply these anti-fungal agents that kill and inhibits mold spore growth, as well as other microbes, bacteria, and algae.
Mold spores spread throw air and surface contact. We use industrial blowers and air scrubbers to purify and remove 99.97% of the particles and spores found in the air, as well as dust, dirt, and other contaminants found in the air of the infected space.
It’s our priority to restore your home to it’s pre-loss condition or better, at Move Fast Restoration.
Basements and cellars are a common area to find moisture. If left untreated, mold spore germination and growth can go undetected. Foundation seepage, humid and moist conditions form sump pumps, grey water drainage from upper levels and washing machines, all contribute to ripe conditions for mold and mildew. Add to these conditions the warmth of water heaters and heating systems of the home, and mold thrives.
Healthy, thriving mold colonies can then spread to floor joists and wall studs, as well as dry wall, damaging the structural integrity of the home. Additionally, the airborne spores reach the living spaces of the home, endangering the people living in the home. There is no need for your family to be at risk one day more, we handle total remediation of all types of molds, and offer a fast and free estimate.
When the attic and crawl spaces air is warm or tepid, and ductwork transport cold air, moisture forms on the outside, accumulating and often drips and drains into the material and structures around it. When mold grows in these environments, the spores get transported and spread throughout the building as the air circulates.
Removal of mold, mildew, dust, and other allergens are the result of a professional cleaning and restoration. Proper cleaning of the HVAC mechanical systems will noticeably improve the air quality in your home. We will conduct a final air sampling test prior to completion to ensure the air is healthy and clean before we leave.
Even if no mold or mildew spores are found in the air ducts or HVAC system, if mold is present in the home elsewhere, the EPA recommends cleaning of these systems to remove any lingering spores. Thereby, totally eradicating the dangerous spores and restoring the safety of the home.
Bathrooms are generally smaller spaces with plentiful moisture and limited ventilation, creating a prime environment for mold growth. The visible condensation on walls, but most wall surfaces are porous, and that moisture penetrates the outer wall, becoming trapped and breeding mold growth. Walls are not the only place for mold to grow, tile grout and caulking are also porous and susceptible to bold and mildew.
Proper ventilation and air circulation is helpful to remove moisture. Utilize open windows and the exhaust fan during showering and bathing. Regular inspection under cabinets for leaking faucets and pipes, which create even more moisture, is important as well.
Mold and mildew growth comes with offensive odors that penetrate the air and porous material. Once the infected areas are cleaned, repaired, and restored. Using our air scrubbers, ozone generators, hydroxyl generators, and thermal foggers, our state-of-the-art equipment will save your memories and your money. We will ensure your home and belongings are left clean and fresh, providing you the peace of mind and the cost saving benefit of not having to replace belongings.
Mold spores germinate in 24 to 48 hours so it’s imperative that the response time for the remediation process at your commercial property is ASAP. The longer the mold is present the more opportunity it has to potentially spread through air circulation, direct contact, and ripe germination environments. Poor air quality, creating health issues, damaged merchandise, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, are all part of the damage that comes with delayed mold removal. Whether you see visible mold, smell a foul odor, or are concerned that mold might be present, our staff are IICRC certified technicians that follow standard protocols for complete remediation and will be available to help you every step of the way:

Mold can only propagate in moist environments, so our trained specialists will locate and repair any source of water that is creating the growth environment. These findings and proposed repairs will be communicated with the business.
Containment is only one way we remediate mold spores. Secure removal of contaminated and damaged materials is another way. The mold must be removed to stop the spread.
