A trained member of our team will do a visual inspection to confirm if you have mold. Once we confirm the presence of mold, we move forward with an estimate. A trained estimator from our team will perform a more thorough inspection. We do this to find all the mold in your space. Mold spores are microscopic. It is important we inspect every affected area thoroughly.
Third-Party Mold Assessment
If we determine that the problem is severe, we recommend the use of a third-party mold assessment company. We cover the cost for one of our trusted partners to come out and take air samples. A team member from a third party company will collect both indoor and outdoor samples. These samples are then sent to a lab for comparison and analysis. Results come back in 24-72 hours.
The spore counts from outside and inside your space matter. Let’s look at an example. If your spore count is higher inside than outside, you need remediation. Spore counts are per cubic meter. A severe case of mold is an indoor result of 600 spores per cubic meter or higher. Severe cases need more cleaning. This includes the treatment of upholstery, fabrics, walls, and all surfaces.
Signs & Types of Mold in Sarasota, FL
Mold growth happens fast in Sarasota. We live in the perfect environment for it to thrive. It needs a lot of humidity. This is why controlling the temperature inside of Sarasota homes is so important. But mold can strike even in a perfectly controlled environment. Know the signs of mold before it becomes a serious problem. Learn to identify this common problem in the sunshine state. Avoid serious health complications.
Signs of Mold
- Visible green, white, black, or brown growth: Mold comes in many different colors. Any type of colored growth on your surfaces is probably mold. Mold can often have a white or gray halo around a mostly black area.
- Discolored grout: If the grout between your tiles went from white to black, you have mold. A common reflex is to bleach and scrub moldy grout. Bleach does not kill mold. It only discolors it. Black grout needs proper remediation.
- A stale smell: You may smell mold before you see it. Mold has a distinct smell. It smells stale and mildewed. Think of a used pool towel that has not dried completely.
- Water Damage: Water damage often causes mold. If you experience a water loss, mold may be close behind. Untreated water damage is an easy way to grow mold in Sarasota. iMold also offers water mitigation. Proper water mitigation is the best defense against mold from a flood.
- Sudden health conditions/changes: Mold is a serious health problem. Black mold and a few other types of mold produce mycotoxin. Mycotoxin causes coughing, sneezing, and sinus headaches. These are just a few of the health effects mold has. If you are suddenly experiencing allergy-like symptoms you may have mold.
Our Mold Remediation Process
The process to remove your mold is simple. We inspect, remove affected materials, clean, and then reinspect. We have fine tuned our process to aim for the highest level of efficiency. Mold is not something to play around with. So we move quickly to completely remove it.
We begin by inspecting and finding all your mold. Sometimes, we get an air sample test to confirm the presence of mold. After we inspect, we provide you with a plan of action. We contain the affected areas to make sure the mold does not contaminate anywhere else.
We then remove anything that has mold growth on it. We use antimicrobials to clean and remove any surface mold. We place air scrubbers in the contained area. Air scrubbers remove mold spores from the air. Exhaust tubes from the air scrubbers vent outside. This ensures we do not re-contaminate the area.
Finally, we complete a second inspection. Once we confirm all the mold is gone, your mold remediation is complete!
Stress Free Demolition
In cases of large mold growth, we may need to demo. We remove any affected materials that we can not clean. This may include cabinets, floor tiles, or drywall. Other examples are are counter tops, shower inserts, and bathroom vanities. We take all the affected materials and dispose of it. Our team dumps it offsite at an approved dump site.
We also use a dust free demolition process. The mold is creating enough of a mess. While we demo, we do not need to create a bigger disaster. We use a process that allows us to catch dust as we make it. We vacuum out drywall dust at the same time we are cutting it. This all equals less mess for you.

iMold has a rebuild division ready for you, too! The iMold team does not do your rebuild. But we do all the leg work contacting third party contractors for you. We help you figure out a plan for anything you may need after we remediate.
