Restoring your property, protecting your peace of mind.
Mold growth is one of the most common and dangerous consequences of water damage. Not only does it damage your property, but it can also lead to serious health problems for you and your family.
Many homeowners try to tackle mold removal on their own, only to find it coming back stronger. That’s because true mold remediation requires specialized skills, equipment, and safety measures.
At The Professional Touch, our certified team follows a step-by-step, expert procedure to ensure mold is removed safely and completely — and that it doesn’t return. In this blog, we’ll walk you through our proven process so you know what to expect.
Before diving into the procedure, it’s important to understand why hiring professionals is critical:
Hidden Mold: Mold often spreads behind walls, under floors, and inside HVAC systems where you can’t see it.
Health Risks: Mold spores can cause allergies, respiratory issues, and long-term health problems.
Proper Containment: Without specialized equipment, mold spores can spread to unaffected areas during cleanup.
Long-Term Prevention: Professionals don’t just remove mold — they address the root cause to prevent future growth.
Attempting DIY removal without the right tools can make the problem worse, spreading spores and increasing health risks.
Here’s a look at the expert steps we take to fully remediate mold in your home or business.
Our process begins with a detailed inspection to locate all areas affected by mold. Using advanced detection tools, we identify visible mold, hidden growth, and moisture sources that allow mold to thrive.
Goal: Determine the full extent of the issue and create a custom remediation plan.
Before removal begins, we seal off contaminated areas to prevent mold spores from spreading throughout your property.
We use:
Plastic sheeting to block off the work area
Negative air pressure machines to contain airborne spores
HEPA filters to purify the surrounding air
Goal: Keep your home safe and stop cross-contamination.
Our certified technicians remove all visible mold using EPA-approved techniques and equipment. Depending on the severity, this may involve:
Cleaning mold from surfaces using specialized solutions
Removing contaminated drywall, carpet, or insulation
Treating structural components to kill remaining spores
Goal: Completely eliminate mold growth from affected areas.
Once mold is removed, we deep-clean and disinfect the space to ensure no spores remain.
This includes:
Using antimicrobial treatments
Cleaning personal belongings affected by mold
Eliminating odors caused by mold and moisture
Goal: Leave the space safe, clean, and healthy.
Mold won’t stay gone if moisture issues aren’t resolved. We identify the source of excess moisture — whether it’s a plumbing leak, poor ventilation, or recent water damage — and recommend solutions to keep mold from returning.
Goal: Provide long-term protection against future mold growth.
Before we finish, our team conducts a final walkthrough with you to ensure the job is completed to the highest standard.
Goal: Guarantee your satisfaction and peace of mind.

Hidden mold continues to grow behind walls and under floors.
Health risks increase without proper protective equipment.
Bottom line: Without the right tools and training, DIY methods often make mold problems worse.
