Many different kinds of mold have been identified over hundreds of years - some can pollute both air quality as well as the materials it is growing on, while some simply damage the building materials it has taken up residency on. Currently the most well-known type of mold would be black mold, which was discovered in Prague in 1837. Black mold, a member of the genus Stachybotrys, has shown to be highly toxic to humans and animals, as well as being extremely harmful to the structure of a building. So-called "black mold" is not necessarily black; it has presented itself in a wide range of colors, from green to white to grey, and of course, black. Mold thrives in high-moisture, hidden away areas, usually on cellulose building materials such as drywall. Properties in San Francisco are at an especially high risk of forming mold colonies, due to the elevated precipitation rate, morning fog, and aging structures. It is true: many types of mold are not hazardous to the health of humans and animals in low quantities. But once spores have become airborne and are trapped in a building, they will have infiltrated the air ducts. Taking these factors into consideration, the chance of mold becoming a health hazard grows more every day, not to mention the harm it is doing to the structure of the building. Bay Area Mold Services is a team of professional, certified mold experts located right in the Bay Area who will assist you in making sure that your home or business, large or small, is safe and mold-free. Mold inspections include a visual inspection for suspect surface mold growth, moisture detection to determine the source of the water that is aiding in the growth of the mold, and air and surface samples. All of the samples are then analyzed by an independent laboratory, who will send a report describing, in detail, the level of mold damage as well as the types of mold growth that have been found on your property. Upon receiving your mold report, contact one of our certified mold consultants, who will know exactly what actions should be taken once the mold damage is identified, and can help create a plan of action to remediate any sign of mold from your building, whether it be residential, commercial, industrial, medical, and even government buildings. Bay Area Mold Services provides the San Francisco Bay Area with a guarantee that we stick by - 10 years mold-free. Contact a customer service representative weekdays from 8:00am to 5:00pm for a no-cost estimate that could be the difference between a simple remediation job and a major overhaul of your property down the road.

Mold removal complete and Evelyn a happy, healthy girl. That is the run of it after I went through a mold problem at my apartment. This company stuck with me from the initial mold inspection that proved the existence of mold with its accompanying mold testing, to the ending clean-up. The mold remediation took care of the mold and I moved back in to an environment that is clean. Now I feel so much better than I did right before when the mold was a big issue. I am energized to tell people about my experience and about this wonderful company should others have a similar issue.

Services/Products
Many companies offer the same services that we here at Bay Area Mold Services offer. What you should look for in an environmental service operation is a company that performs the inspection at the quality necessary for complete knowledge of the level of mold within a structure, as well as proper remediation and restoration techniques and methods. All of this is guaranteed when you choose Bay Area Mold Services. As previously described, a thorough mold inspection is a combination of sampling air quality and any suspect surface mold, as well as moisture detection in areas that are highly susceptible to mold growth. Moisture detection is also a great way to determine whether there are any areas lacking sufficient insulation that should be remedied to prevent environmental damage, such as moisture buildup. These are the key steps necessary to getting your property on the right track to becoming safe and mold-free. Complete removal and prevention of mold is only guaranteed when administered by a professional technician, such as those on staff at Bay Area Mold Services. An amateur attempting to remove mold damage by using bleach or a bleach and water mixture will not successfully remediate mold damage. The bleach will simply affect the mold the same way it affects your clothes: it will become white. Surface mold is often an indicator that there is also mold growing beneath the surface, which requires restoration of the cellulose materials within walls, on roofing materials, et cetera. If there is a large amount of mold damage that has rendered the affected area beyond repair, these materials will need to be completely replaced. Despite our name, mold damage service is not the only resource that we offer to the cities by the Bay. The technicians at Bay Area Mold Services also have extensive experience in the restoration of property that has been affected by water damage. Dehumidification treatments and carpet water extraction are the first steps in the recovery process for a home or business that has been damaged by the presence of water. All types of building materials can be negatively affected, even ruined, by water, from the roof down to the foundation. Our staff is prepared to offer whatever steps necessary to bring your property back to pre-loss condition, in the least amount of time possible. Visit our website for even more information on the services that Bay Area Mold Services provides, as well as contact information, testimonials, and additional resources that will keep you informed in regards to the very real issue of mold and water damage in the Bay Area.
