FAQs on our Mold Removal Services
Understanding Mold & Its Risks
What are the common signs of mold growth in Scottsdale houses?
In Scottsdale, watch for colored spots on walls or ceilings – they can be black, green, or brown. You might also smell a musty or yucky odor. If you had a water leak before, check those spots. If your house feels damp a lot, that can also make mold grow. If you see or smell these things, it’s good to have someone check for mold.
What are the health risks if you breathe in mold?
Breathing in mold can make some people sick. If you have allergies or asthma, it can make those things worse. You might get a stuffy nose, cough, or your throat might feel scratchy. Your skin or eyes might also get itchy. It’s important to get rid of mold so everyone can stay healthy.
What makes mold grow in Arizona homes?
Mold likes to grow in wet places. In Arizona, our homes can get wet from water leaks or when it’s really humid inside. Even if you have air conditioning, some spots can still stay damp. If water sits for too long, like after a pipe breaks, mold can start to grow on walls and floors. Keeping things dry helps stop mold.
Is black mold more bad for you than other molds?
Black mold is one type of mold, and it can make some people very sick. But any mold growing in your house is not good. Different people can feel sick from different kinds of mold. We can test the mold in your house to see what kind it is and make sure it’s all gone to keep you safe.
Can I clean up mold myself, or do I need help from experts?
If the mold spot is small, like smaller than a plate, you might be able to clean it with soap and water. But big mold problems or mold that you can’t see need expert help. We have special tools and know how to clean mold safely so it doesn’t spread. If you aren’t sure, it’s always best to call us to take a look.
Insurance & Cost Considerations
Does homeowner's insurance usually pay for mold removal in Scottsdale?
Sometimes, yes, but it often depends on why the mold started growing. If it was from a sudden problem, like a pipe burst, your insurance might help pay for the mold cleanup. But if the mold grew slowly because of dampness you didn’t fix, they might not cover it. Generally, insurance will not cover mold remediation but it’s best to talk to your insurance company to see what your plan says.
How much does professional mold removal cost in Scottsdale?
For small mold spots that we can scrub, like in a bathroom, our prices start at $650. This includes using a special vacuum to suck up the mold, spraying to stop more mold from growing, and using a machine to clean the air while we work. If the mold has grown inside your walls, it can cost more to fix, usually between $5,000 and $15,000. This is because we might need to take out parts of the wall and clean a bigger area to get all the mold out.
What things make the cost of mold removal go up or down?
The main things that change how much mold removal costs are: how big the moldy area is, if we need to take things apart (like walls), and how long we need to use special drying machines. For small mold spots, we might just scrub, vacuum, and spray, which can take a few hours and costs less. But for bigger mold problems inside walls or under floors, we need to build plastic walls, take out materials like drywall and carpet, and use dryers for 3 or 4 days. These bigger jobs to remove the mold can cost from $3,000 to $15,000, plus the cost to rebuild afterward
Is black mold more bad for you than other molds?
Black mold is one type of mold, and it can make some people very sick. But any mold growing in your house is not good. Different people can feel sick from different kinds of mold. We can test the mold in your house to see what kind it is and make sure it’s all gone to keep you safe.
Does Charm Restoration work with insurance companies to help with the cost?
Yes, we often work with homeowner’s insurance companies. Our core value is Transparency Wins, so we will clearly explain whether your insurance company is likely to approve a mold claim. Most mold claims are denied because they aren’t from sudden accidents. Also, the mold problem needs to cost more than your deductible for insurance to help, which smaller jobs usually don’t.
Will you work with my insurance?
Yes. Charm Restoration works with homeowners and a wide range of insurance companies.
Should I contact my insurance agent?
It definitely never hurts. Often, agents have to pass you to their adjustor claims team but we feel it’s always best to keep your local agent inform. Your agent can be a good resource during this process.
Does Charm communicate with our insurance?
Absolutely. We will touch base with your agent throughout because they care about your progress. As well, we communicate directly with the insurance adjustors to help get your claims approved quicker.
Do I have to use my agent's referred restoration contractor?
Ultimately, it’s your choice. Agents may make recommendations based on their experiences with different restoration service providers. In the end, it’s your choice.
Our Mold Remediation Process
What steps are involved in your mold removal process in Scottsdale?
When we remove mold from your Scottsdale home, we start by looking closely at all the moldy and wet spots. Then, we put up special walls to keep the mold from spreading to other rooms. We use strong vacuums with special filters (called HEPA) to suck up the mold. We also clean everything with sprays that stop mold from growing back. If things like walls or floors are too damaged, we’ll take them out safely. Finally, we clean the air to make sure it’s healthy again.
How long does mold remediation typically take?
For a small amount of mold in one spot, it might only take a half day or so. But if the mold has spread inside walls or under floors, it can take several days. We’ll check out your mold problem and give you a good idea of how long we’ll need to make your home clean and safe again.
Do I need to leave my home during the mold removal process?
Usually, it’s safe for you to stay in your Scottsdale home while we remove the mold. We put up special plastic walls to keep the moldy air in one area. We also use a machine that sucks the air from the clean parts of your house into the moldy part, so the bad air doesn’t go anywhere else. While we’re cleaning and taking out anything moldy, we use special air cleaners with strong HEPA filters to catch any tiny mold bits in the air. For bigger mold jobs, we keep those plastic walls and air cleaners up until a special test says the air is clean again.
What safety precautions doe your technicians take during mold remediation?
Your safety is very important to our team when we remove mold in your Scottsdale home. Our technicians wear special suits, gloves, and masks, and we follow strict IICRC standards for protection. We also use plastic walls and air machines to keep mold from spreading. We carefully double-bag everything we remove and spray it to stop mold before taking it out of the affected area. Following IICRC guidelines ensures the mold removal is safe and done right for your peace of mind.
What kind of equipment do you use for mold removal?
To get rid of mold effectively in your Scottsdale home, we use some special tools. We have strong vacuums with HEPA filters that can trap even tiny mold spores so they don’t spread in the air. We also use air scrubbers with HEPA filtration, which are machines that clean the air in the room while we work. We have special sprays and cleaners that kill the mold and stop it from growing back. For big jobs, we might also use equipment to dry out wet areas quickly.
