New Tech Environmental is your local professional source for mold removal and water damage of various types.. 603-508-1888
Mold damage in a home can be sometimes hard to remove. Without a trained, certified technician performing the work, the mold may not be completely removed, or can simply grow back in a few months. Remember bleach doesn’t kill mold either, just turns it clear and feeds it water.
Mold has been found not only to damage personal property in your home, but also to seriously affect the health of the inhabitants of a household, especially those with asthma or allergies.

- Mold Grows Quickly: Mold needs only moisture, temperatures above 40 °F (4 °C), and organic material to survive.. Mold can grow in 24-48 hours, preferring areas with no sunlight, limited airflow, dormant spores can activate quickly in the right conditions.
- Mold Destroys Your Home: Professional Builder Magazine warns that mold will dramatically lower the value of your home. Additionally, mold can lead to serious structural damage to your home.
- Cleaning Visible Mold is Not Enough: Mold can grow on dirt trapped in fiberglass insulation, on top of ceiling tiles, inside ducts, behind drywall panels, in wall cavities, and behind wallpaper. Even when it’s visible, it’s often impossible — even for an expert — to tell the how deep the mold is rooted. The mold you can see is just the beginning, and some of it is extremely hard to find!
- Bleach & Detergent Will Not Eliminate Mold: Bleach and detergent are useful for removing bacteria and mold on nonporous surfaces. However, materials such as ceiling tiles, carpeting, and wallboard will have deep mold penetration and may need to be replaced. Removed mold will regrow if all sources of moisture and humidity are not eliminated.
- Mold is Hazardous: Some molds contain mycotoxins that are carcinogenic or deadly. Mycotoxins are given off when mold metabolizes a surface. Vibrations and movement can cause mold to release their spores — it’s easy to accidentally knock hundreds of thousands of spores loose from a single patch of mold. And that’s just a drop in the bucket: Recent research has shown that up to one billion mold spores can be found in just one square foot of drywall!
- Mold Removal Requires Professional Equipment and Training: Mold removal experts have a variety of state-of-the-art equipment that they use to identify sources of moisture, to dry out wall cavities, and to safely remove mold that is growing in your home. Samples of mold may be analyzed in a laboratory to identify potentially toxic strains, and special cleaning agents may be used to destroy the mold at the root and surface protectants can be used to insure it doesn’t return. While some contractors are jumping on the “mold is gold” bandwagon, it’s important to find the established, trained, and equipped contractors that are committed to the industry for the long haul.
