Mold Problems and Causes
Mold is a spore-producing fungus. Though there are many different types of mold, mold always spreads via these spores through the air.
Mold also thrives in humid, enclosed areas. Mold can damage your home’s infrastructure and reduce your indoor air quality. Those who have asthma or allergies are particularly vulnerable to breathing and other health problems when exposed to mold.
Since mold proliferates in damp spaces, you’ll most often find it in:
- Showers and baths
- Crawl spaces
- Basements
- Attics
- Curtains and drapes
- Carpeting and tiles
- Ductwork and ventilation systems
Besides these areas, water damage from a storm, flood, or fire extinguishing can generate mold growth. Household issues such as burst pipes, poor ventilation, and a leaking roof may also result in mold. Whatever the circumstance, mold develops in just a matter of hours and begins to spread.
Mold Inspection in Dallas
The first step of the mold remediation process is inspecting for the presence of mold. When doing mold remediation in Dallas, the All Dry USA team collects samples and conducts mold testing to determine the affected areas. We also use infrared technology to detect invisible or hard-to-find mold.
At the final stage of inspection, we use moisture-testing equipment throughout your home. Since moisture promotes mold, we employ high-powered dehumidifiers and other drying machinery to remove all excess water. Taking this step goes a long way to prevent future mold growth.

Mold Removal in Dallas
During the mold removal process, we follow a strict protocol of several stages:
- Staging. We install tarps and sheets around the mold-ridden areas to restrict mold spread.
- Sorting. We divide mold-damaged contents between items that require disposal and those we can restore to some degree.
- Removal. We safely destroy the mold and dispose of it along with the mold-infested items.
- Clean-up. We dry, clean, and apply specialized treatments such as HEPA filtration to the affected spaces and items. We also contain any lingering mold particles by applying a sealing treatment to porous surfaces.
- Restoration. We reinstall mold-damaged structures and materials such as ductwork, insulation, and drywall.
- Final inspection. We perform mold and moisture testing one last time to verify that we’ve eliminated all the mold.
