What causes mold? The simple answer -- moisture. Whether it is water from a leak, residual moisture from a flood or moisture from humidity or condensation, there is almost always a moisture source that is promoting and sustaining the mold development. When dormant mold spores are introduced to an adequate moisture source, the spores will germinate, root into your building materials and become a widespread problem over time. Mold feeds on cellulose-based building materials like drywall and wood -- leaving property damage and potential structural concerns. Some of the more common water sources include high humidity, flooding, plumbing leaks, roofs leaks, foundation leaks, groundwater seepage, condensation and poor ventilation. The moisture source needs to be properly addressed, and the mold needs to be actively removed in order to restore and maintain a mold-free home or business.
Mold should be removed by an experienced remediation professional who is specially trained and certified in the effective removal and safe handling of mold. Mold needs to be actively removed following specific remediation procedures and under proper containment with the right air filtration in place. All technicians should wear the appropriate personal protective equipment. Following remediation, all moisture problems should be addressed by a licensed professional following remediation.
When dealing with a mold problem, the first step is to determine the full extent of the problem and identify the moisture source. A trained and certified mold inspector in Myrtle Beach will provide the necessary inspection and testing services to thoroughly investigate mold-related concerns. At Mastertech, we offer the most comprehensive inspections possible to get to the bottom of any potential mold problem. We use the most advanced tools and equipment like moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, video borescopes, hygrometers and particle counters to provide a non-invasive inspection with professional mold testing.

Mastertech’s mold remediation process was developed from years of industry experience, knowledge and research. The only effective solution for a mold problem is active removal under the proper HEPA-filtered containment. Our process harnesses power surfactants and oxidative technology (coupled detailed HEPA vacuuming and scrubbing) to eliminate surface mold, remove embedded mold roots, and return a normal indoor air quality. All remediations are performed while under proper containment, and we set up the necessary air filtration to maintain a safe indoor air quality. Our technicians in Middlesex County follow strict safety protocols and wear the necessary personal protective equipment while on the job.
When health and property are at stake, we cannot afford to get it wrong. Mistreated mold or poorly done mold remediation can leave property owners with serious side effects. So, it is important that we get it right the first time. A bad mold remediation can cause cross-contamination to previously unaffected surfaces or leave mold roots behind that can leave you and your family with additional property damage, additional mold growth, additional repair expenses, and additional health risks. With our process, we can ensure the restoration of mold-free conditions.
When the unexpected happens,
you should only trust the best. ®
