Factors That Affect How Long Mold Remediation Takes

Damage to your home from floods and other natural disasters is often severe and life-altering. So much so that starting over again after such a deeply upsetting event will be such a challenge. And understandably so. Mammoth Restoration proudly offers restoration services in Flagstaff, AZ. Trust us to know the ins and outs of restoration, including mold remediation.

In this article, we discuss three factors that affect how long our restoration company will take to carry out the mold remediation process.

How Much Area Is Affected—Mold Remediation

The leading factor in how long any restoration service takes is how much of the area has been damaged. The same goes for other services such as fire damage restoration and the like. When it comes to mold, there’s sometimes only a small area that has been affected, leading to short restoration service times. However, spores sometimes get inside your HVAC system and spread to multiple areas of your home. If this is the case, finding and removing all the affected spots will take much longer.

If Demolition is Necessary

Mold can easily infiltrate areas of your home that are quite important for structure and integrity. This includes areas like walls, ceilings, and floors. If you’ve called us for emergency restoration services, some demolition work is probably more likely since natural disasters often cause structural damage. We try our best to leave this as a last resort, but demolition will extend your restoration process by a few days to a week if it is required.

If Construction Is Advisable

In cases where water damage restoration services are needed after a flood and the damage is pervasive, construction will further extend the restoration process. This would typically involve encapsulating affected crawlspaces, which greatly reduces the risk of further mold growth.

Mammoth Restoration strives to provide prompt and reliable restoration services. Rest assured that we prioritize quality work and your safety above all else. Contact us today for a consultation with our team.
