Mold Testing, Remediation, and Removal in Rockville, MD, and Montgomery County

Have you found mold in your home or business? Mold can be seen or hidden behind walls, furniture, or any structure that moisture can get to. Homes and commercial properties in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area are affected by mold growth on a regular basis. All mold needs in order to live and expand is humidity (water activity) and food. The food is usually organic materials such as wood, boxes, and even drywall, since its top layer is made of paper. If it smells like mold, then you've got mold!

We Restoration is experienced, trained, and certified in mold remediation. Proudly serving Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Rockville, MD, and surrounding areas, our crews provide outstanding customer service while ensuring all industry regulations are met.

How Does Mold Remediation and Mold Removal Work?

There are many types of mold. Mold can affect the human body in many ways—headaches, trouble breathing, allergic reaction, and skin irritation, just to name a few. At We Restoration, we take a calculated approach to mold remediation and removal to ensure your home or workspace is clean and safe:

• Find the source – We will find where water and/or moisture is coming from.
• Contaminant control – We contain the mold from spreading its spores to other unaffected areas in the house or business.
• Establish negative air pressure – Since mold is airborne, we will place certified air filtration devices throughout the affected area. That way, we remove mold spores from the air.
• Remove and clean – We remove all items (including building materials) that were affected by mold and cannot be restored. Then, we conduct a thorough cleaning process.
• Air duct and HVAC system cleaning – It is highly recommended to clean and sanitize your HVAC and duct system, as the system sucks in toxic air and blows it back to other unaffected areas in your home.
• Post-remediation testing – It is standard practice to perform post-remediation testing to ensure the job was completed correctly. This testing is conducted by a third party.

I See or Smell Mold! What Do I Do?

There are a few steps you should take in order to prevent mold from reaching other unaffected areas in your home or business:

• Stay out of affected areas.
• Turn off all fans and your HVAC system immediately.
• Do not try to clean it yourself. Mold spores are invisible to the naked eye. Spraying bleach, trying to clean it with household cleaning products, or blowing on the mold will cause the spores to travel to other unaffected areas.
• Call the experts at We Restoration, or simply complete our online request quote form, and we will reach out to you in a timely manner.

How Long Does the Mold Remediation Process Take?

The length of a mold remediation project depends on the size of the affected area, the moisture source, and the level of contamination. Most projects take between one and five days, though more complex situations may require additional drying, cleaning, or testing. We Restoration always conducts a detailed assessment beforehand so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

How Can I Tell if Mold Is Dangerous?

All mold has the potential to affect indoor air quality. Some strains may cause headaches, throat irritation, respiratory issues, or allergic reactions. Even mold hidden behind drywall or under flooring can create health concerns. A professional inspection is the safest way to determine the severity of the issue and the right approach for removal.

Can Mold Return After Remediation?

Mold can return if the underlying moisture issue is not addressed. That’s why We Restoration focuses on identifying and correcting the source before performing any cleaning. Once moisture problems are resolved and proper remediation methods are followed, the likelihood of recurrence is significantly reduced.

Does We Restoration Provide Warranty Protection for Mold Remediation?

Yes. We Restoration offers warranty protection that provides added peace of mind to homeowners and business owners. The warranty covers the treated areas and ensures the work meets industry standards and passes post-remediation testing. This guarantee reflects our commitment to thorough, long-lasting results.

Is it Safe to Stay in My Home During Mold Remediation?

Depending on the severity of contamination, some homeowners may stay in place, while others may need to temporarily relocate. Because We Restoration uses containment barriers, negative air pressure, and HEPA filtration, we work to minimize disruption and prevent cross-contamination. Your project manager will guide you on what is safest for your situation.
