Mold is a general term for thousands of types of fungus that can easily grow on almost any surface in a structure. All that needs to happen is for the temperature, moisture and light conditions to be just right and before you know it, you can be dealing with a mold infestation. Not every kind of mold is toxic to humans, but you should still be wary of its presence in your home because it can eat away at surfaces like wood and drywall. Over time it can affect the integrity of your structure even if it’s not a harmful strain in terms of respiratory effects.
As certified professionals, Restoration Royalty can help with mold removal and remediation.
Mold can multiply on most porous surfaces where there is damp stagnant air. While it prefers temperatures above 60 degrees, it can also grow in cold temperatures, which is why it can be found in a refrigerator (ew!). Most often, however, it is found in the following places:
If you’re buying a new home or want to inspect your current property, it is important to look for mold. One effective way to do so is through a mold test. Because mold consists of spores that travel through the air, it can spread quickly. Additionally, mold creates mycotoxins, which are dangerous organisms that attack the immune system and jeopardize health.
Given the dangerous effects mold can have on your wellbeing, it is important to be aware of whether it is in your home or business. While some mold signs are obvious to spot, like when you see black spots on your wall, others are more difficult to trace.
If your space starts smelling musty or you unexpectedly experience any of the symptoms listed above, it’s important to check your property for mold.If you believe you have a mold problem in your commercial or residential property, call our highly-trained specialists at Restoration Royalty LLC.

It’s important to know that mold is everywhere in your home. They are minuscule, sporous fungi that lie dormant around a property.

When it comes to mold remediation, it’s important to understand what’s involved in the process. Mold can cause serious health problems, and it’s important to know the right steps to take to remediate your mold issue.
Mold Inspection & Testing
The first step in the mold remediation process is a mold inspection. During your mold inspection, a licensed mold inspector will assess the severity of visible mold and determine the best course of action to efficiently remove it. Restoration’s mold specialists look for any visible signs of mold, stains, discoloration, or strange odors to determine the extent of your problem. Depending on your state guidelines, an industrial hygienist might be called in to take air samples, test for invisible mold, and provide a professional protocol for your project to follow that provides the best outcome to remediate and kill the mold at your property.
Once the mold inspection and testing are complete, the mold remediation process will begin. This process involves a number of steps, including mold containment, detecting moisture problems, mold removal, fungicide application to kill the mold, mold encapsulation, mold cleaning, and debris cleanup.

Once the mold is identified, we will begin the process of mold containment. This means that we will contain the affected areas in order to prevent the mold from spreading. This is done by sealing off the affected areas with EPA approved protective sheeting and setting up negative air pressure machines to help keep the air from spreading. During the mold containment process, Rytech techs work to reduce the level of toxic mold in the air to bring your air quality back to acceptable levels. This is done using specialized equipment, such as HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers.
In order for mold to grow and thrive, there must be moisture present. So, Restoration’s mold removal specialists will assess the home for any potential moisture problems and take steps to address them to prevent mold in the future. We will also use moisture meters to detect any hidden pockets of moisture to prevent your mold problem from coming back in the future.
Once the affected areas are contained, and the moisture problems have been addressed, your mold specialists will then move on to the mold removal process. This involves removing any visible mold, as well as cleaning any materials that are contaminated.
Once the visible mold has been removed, we will then use a fungicide to kill any remaining mold. This is done in order to prevent the mold from returning. Restoration’s uses only the highest quality fungicides tested to successfully eliminate mold.
The mold encapsulation process involves sealing the affected areas with a special coating in order to prevent mold from spreading. This step is taken when mold has eaten away at organic materials, and all toxic mold can not be removed.
Once the mold encapsulation is complete, the final step of your mold remediation project will begin. The mold cleaning process involves thoroughly cleaning any surfaces that were affected by the mold, as well as removing any debris that may have been left behind. We use specialized decontamination agents and equipment to ensure that the affected area is completely clean.At Restoration Royalty, we specialize in mold remediation and can help you with all the steps involved in the process.
