Mold Isn’t Just Gross—It’s Dangerous. Here’s What to Do About It.
You don’t need a biology degree to know that mold is a problem. If you can smell it, see it, or feel it in your air quality, you already know something’s wrong. But the big question is: how do you get rid of it safely, permanently, and without turning your home into a construction zone?
That’s where Not Your Average Mold Guys comes in. We provide fast, reliable, and professional mold removal services for homes, offices, and commercial properties across [Austin/Chicago—your market]. Our team handles the problem from inspection to cleanup—so you don’t have to guess, wait, or worry.
Why DIY Mold Cleanup Doesn’t Cut It
You can scrub the surface. You can run a fan. You might even try some vinegar and a prayer. But if the moisture source isn’t fixed—or if mold has already spread behind walls—you’re only treating symptoms, not solving the problem.
Common DIY mistakes include:
-
Spreading mold spores through unsealed areas
-
Incomplete removal that allows mold to return
-
Exposing yourself and others to harmful mycotoxins
-
Damaging drywall, flooring, and HVAC without containment
Bottom line: Mold remediation is not a DIY project. It’s a health and safety service.
Our Services: What We Do and How We Do It
🧪 Mold Inspection & Testing
We start with a complete mold inspection using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and air testing. We identify what type of mold is present, where it’s hiding, and how far it’s spread.
✅ Visual and air quality assessment
✅ Behind-wall moisture detection
✅ Professional third-party lab testing (optional)
🛑 Containment & Air Scrubbing
Before we touch a thing, we seal off the affected area to prevent mold from spreading through your home. We set up HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and negative air pressure zones for safety.
✅ Full containment setup
✅ Commercial-grade HEPA air scrubbers
✅ Safe for occupants in other parts of the home
🧹 Mold Removal & Cleanup
Once containment is secure, we remove the mold using EPA-approved antimicrobials, dry ice blasting, or manual HEPA vacuuming—depending on what the job needs.
✅ Non-toxic mold treatments
✅ Safe material removal when needed
