Save Money
If you have mold in your home, fixing the problem now can save you a lot of money. American Mold & Restoration can show you how and why.
Why Choose American Mold & Restoration?
- Mold is eating the structure it’s growing on.
If it has colonized wood, wallboard, paint, insulation backing, wall paper, caulk, etc., it is slowly eating away at these materials.
Many homeowners end up replacing floor joists, support beams, rafters, plywood underlayment, etc. because they have been weakened by mold infestation.
- Our best advice? Fix any moisture problem in your home immediately.
Remember, it only takes 24 to 48 hours for mold to grow and once it starts it’s very hard to remove.
- If you don’t fix it now, chances are you will have to if you sell your home.
Frequently, homeowners are unaware of a mold problem until a home inspection is conducted at the time of sale. Or, even more frequently, the seller has ignored the problem (to their great risk) until it is discovered at the time of sale.
Here’s the problem with waiting until the home is for sale to get rid of the mold:
- Any sign (or smell) of mold or mildew in a home for sale can be a huge negative to a prospective buyer. Many house-seekers will turn right around if they detect a potential mold problem.
- If you obtain a contract on your home and mold is subsequently discovered by the buyer (through an inspection or environmental test) many buyers will back out of the contract even if you promise to remediate the mold. Let’s face it, some folks are extremely sensitive to mold exposure.
- If you have a contract and an established closing date on your home, any mold remediation must now be conducted under a time restraint. This limits you to using only those firms which can meet your schedule, cutting down on your options. (Luckily, you can simply call us and we’ll do our best to meet your deadline.)
- If you have a contract on your home and have agreed to have mold professionally remediated (hopefully, by us), you may no longer be in the driver’s seat as to what steps are to be taken. For example, many buyers will insist that you do things that may not be necessary to properly and safely remediate the mold. Like removing an entire wall, when the mold test shows its only in the corner, or replacing an entire ceiling when the problem was only directly below the bath tub, etc. etc.
- And, finally, save money by getting proposals from several mold remediation firms.
You may be surprised that we recommend this, but we’re not afraid of competition. You should select from well established firms that will follow industry protocols and will provide for your safety and their
worker’s safety.
It’s paramount that the project be done effectively and it’s no job
for amateurs.
It’s also wise to make sure that you are comparing apples to apples in the proposals you receive. Make sure that no steps are skipped to reduce the bid price, as you’ll end up paying for them one way or the other in the end.
