When mold shows up in your home, it's not just ugly, it's a real health hazard that needs professional help right away. Here at Steel City Property Restoration LLC, we're your go-to team for mold removal in Pittsburgh. We'll tackle the problem at its source and make sure your family stays healthy and your property keeps its value.
Let's face it: Pittsburgh's weather isn't doing us any favors when it comes to mold. With all the humidity and rain we get, our homes face some unique challenges. We've designed our services specifically for Western Pennsylvania's climate because we know what works here.
Mold spores are everywhere outside, but they become a real problem when they find moisture in your home. Here's what we see most often in Pittsburgh properties:
Wet Basements: Those charming older homes? They often have water seeping into basements, creating the perfect spot for mold to throw a party.
HVAC Problems: When your heating and cooling system isn't maintained properly, it can spread mold throughout your entire house. Not good.
Plumbing Issues: From burst pipes to sneaky leaks, water damage behind walls creates hidden mold colonies you might not even know about.
Storm Damage: After our notorious Pittsburgh storms, water damage that isn't dried within 48 hours becomes a mold magnet.
Poor Airflow: When bathrooms, kitchens, and attics don't have enough ventilation, humidity builds up and mold loves it.
We've got this down to a science; here's how we handle mold removal from start to finish:
Our certified team starts with a thorough inspection using professional equipment. We'll check visible areas and use moisture meters and thermal cameras to find hidden problems. You'll get air quality testing too, so we know exactly what we're dealing with.
Nobody wants mold spreading during cleanup! We set up barriers, use negative air pressure, and run HEPA filters to keep spores from traveling to clean areas. Our team suits up in protective gear to stay safe while they work.
Different surfaces need different treatments. Hard surfaces get cleaned with antimicrobial solutions, while heavily contaminated materials like drywall might need to go. We'll also clean your HVAC system if needed.
Even after visible mold is gone, spores can linger. We use industrial air scrubbers and sometimes antimicrobial fogging to make sure your air is clean and safe.
If we don't address what caused the mold, it'll just come back. We'll find and fix moisture sources, dry everything completely, and help you improve ventilation.
We don't call it done until we've tested again. You'll get a final inspection, air quality testing, and a complete report with photos and recommendations.
Mold isn't just gross; it can make you sick. Here's what exposure can cause:
