You might have mold if you notice:

• A musty or damp smell that won’t go away
• Visible black, green, or white spots on walls, ceilings, or vents
• Recent water damage, leaks, or flooding
• Peeling paint, warped drywall, or soft spots in walls/floors
• Ongoing allergy-like symptoms: sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, headaches

Note: Even if mold isn't visible, hidden growth behind walls of ductwork is common.

• Children, elderly individuals, and pets
• People with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems

Health effects can include:

• Skin rashes, sinus issues, eye irritation

At Minus Mold VA, we:

• Isolate the affected area with containment

• Identify and eliminate the cause of mold (e.g., leaks or humidity)
• Ensure your home stays safe and mold-free moving forward

Time depends on:
• Size of the affected area
• Type of mold present
• Whether structural materials (drywall, insulation) need removal

Typical timelines:
• Small jobs: 1 day
• Medium projects: 2–3 days
• Large/complex jobs: Up to 5 days

You’ll get a full timeline and plan after our inspection.

Not always, but it depends on:
• The size of the contaminated area
• Whether toxigenic mold is present
• Your personal health sensitivities

We may recommend temporary relocation if:
• There’s a health risk
• We’re using industrial-grade equipment or doing major demolition

Our goal: Keep you informed and safe every step of the way.
