Professional Mold Removal for Lake Elmo, MN Properties

Small, isolated mold colonies on a single surface can often be removed in one day. Larger situations involving multiple rooms, wall cavity infestations, or post-flood scenarios take two to four days for removal plus one to three additional days for the independent post-clearance air sampling results to return from the lab. We give you a specific timeline estimate after our on-site assessment.

No — bleach kills surface mold on non-porous materials but cannot reach the root structure in porous building materials. Professional Mold Removal uses HEPA vacuuming, material removal where necessary, and EPA-registered antimicrobials that penetrate the substrate. That's why professional results last where bleach doesn't.
