Mold is a serious issue in South Florida homes, especially in humid environments like West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and surrounding Palm Beach County areas. At GreenFox, we offer full-service mold remediation designed to remove mold at the source, restore clean indoor air, and correct the conditions that caused the issue.
Mold remediation involves identifying, removing, and preventing mold growth in homes and commercial properties. Mold can develop in areas with excess moisture, such as basements, attics, and HVAC systems. If left untreated, mold can damage surfaces, cause unpleasant odors, and pose health risks.
At GreenFox, we use advanced techniques and professional equipment to eliminate mold safely and efficiently, while also addressing the underlying causes to prevent it from coming back.
We begin by inspecting the affected areas to locate mold growth, assess moisture levels, and determine the severity of contamination.
We set up containment barriers and create negative air pressure to prevent mold from spreading to unaffected areas. Our team follows strict safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Our technicians use HEPA vacuums, antimicrobial treatments, and safe removal techniques to eliminate visible mold. Contaminated materials are securely bagged and disposed of following local regulations.
We use HEPA air scrubbers and dehumidifiers to capture airborne spores and reduce moisture.
While “mold removal” focuses solely on cleaning visible mold, “mold remediation” includes addressing the root cause, removing mold safely, and preventing future growth.
In most cases, it’s safe to stay in your home during remediation if the affected areas are contained. For larger or more severe mold problems, it may be safer to leave temporarily.
Mold remediation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the size of the affected area and the severity of the mold growth. Larger or more complex cases may require additional time.
Mold thrives in damp, humid environments. Common causes include water leaks, poor ventilation, high humidity levels, and flooding.
Small mold issues can sometimes be managed with DIY methods, but larger or toxic mold problems should be handled by professionals to ensure proper removal and safety.
Prevent mold by controlling moisture levels, fixing leaks promptly, using dehumidifiers, and improving ventilation in damp areas like bathrooms and basements.
