Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at support@totalrestorewaterandfire.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Can I Clean Mold Myself?

You can clean small areas of mold using protective gear and proper cleaning products. However, for larger mold growth, hidden mold, or if you have health problems or concerns, it's best to call a professional. Improper cleanup can spread mold spores throughout your home and make the problem worse.

Is Mold Dangerous to My Health?

Yes, certain types of mold can be harmful- especially black mold or prolonged exposure. Mold spores can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory issues, irritations, and more serious health concerns in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

Does Homeowner's Insurance Cover Mold Removal?

That depends- but in most cases, standard homeowners' insurance does not cover mold removal unless the mold was caused by a sudden or accidental event that your policy covers.

How Long Does Mold Remediation Take?

Mold remediation typically takes 1 to 5 days depending on the size of the affected area, how far the mold has spread, and whether materials like drywall or insulation need to be removed and replaced. Larger or more complex jobs may take longer.

Will Mold Come Back After It's Been Removed?

If the underlying problem isn't fixed, mold can come back- even after professional removal. That's why at Total Restore Water & Fire, we don't just remove the mold, we find and eliminate the source of the problem to prevent it from returning. We also use anti-microbial treatments to help stop the regrowth.
