How does the restoration process work?

At MJ White, we're here to guide you through the home restoration process and provide clarity on what to expect as we begin repairing your property. Once you, the property owner, sign a work authorization, our restoration company collaborates with your insurance adjuster to establish the scope of necessary repairs. Upon approval from the insurance adjuster, we initiate the estimation process. This involves gathering detailed measurements and photographs to ensure accuracy.nnOur estimators then input this information into a standardized program used by the insurance industry to generate the estimate, which is subsequently shared with the insurance company. Once the estimate is approved, our project managers step in to coordinate the repairs. They'll work closely with you, overseeing selection meetings, scheduling repairs, managing on-site construction, and arranging building inspections. Throughout the process, your project manager will review all repairs and schedule any necessary finishing touches before conducting the final walk-through with you.

Do I have to pay money upfront?

Yes! MJ White is proud to be a full-service contractor that can handle your entire restoration and renovation project from start to finish. We have a full, in-house water mitigation department and a contents division on site to make sure your experience is as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Mold Remediation FAQs

Explore common questions and expert answers to understand more about mold remediation and how it benefits you.

What are the signs of a mold problem?

Common signs of a mold problem include visible mold growth, musty odors, and water damage on walls, ceilings, or floors. Additionally, mold may cause health issues, such as coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, skin irritations, and other allergic reactions, particularly in areas with poor ventilation or high humidity.
In some cases, mold may even spread into building materials like ceiling tiles, drywall, and HVAC systems, which can impact indoor air quality and further complicate the issue. Since mold often hides in unseen areas, including attics and behind walls, it's crucial to schedule a mold test if you suspect mold in your home.

How long does mold remediation take?

The duration of mold remediation varies based on the type of mold, the level of contamination, and the areas affected, ranging from a few days to several weeks.
Our mold remediation process includes thorough cleaning, HEPA vacuuming, and the use of HEPA air scrubbers to safely remediate the mold and restore your property. MJ White's team works with you to minimize disruptions and ensures a comprehensive solution, getting your property back to normal as quickly and safely as possible.

Is mold remediation safe for my family and pets?

Yes, our mold remediation process is designed to be safe for families, pets, and all residents. We use eco-friendly products and proven techniques, such as HEPA filter air scrubbing and HEPA vacuuming, to capture airborne mold spores without leaving harmful residues behind.
Our team also ensures thorough containment during mold removal and remediation so that no mold spreads to unaffected areas. This allows us to effectively restore indoor air quality and eliminate health risks associated with mold exposure, ensuring your home remains a safe environment for everyone.

What Types of Molds Commonly Affect Homes?

Preventing mold growth requires maintaining good ventilation, controlling humidity levels, and addressing water leaks promptly. Installing exhaust fans in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens, can significantly reduce the risk of mold.
In addition, regular inspections of your home, including the attic space can help prevent mold spores from circulating throughout your home.

How Can I Prevent Mold Growth in My Home?

Different types of molds can invade homes depending on the amount of moisture and the area affected. Mold types found include stachybotrys, pen- aspergillus, and cladosporium. Stachybotrys, in particular, is known for its potential to cause severe health problems, especially in those with respiratory issues or compromised immune systems. However, it should be noted that everyone reacts differently to mold exposure. Thus, we treat all molds as being potentially harmful.
Mold in HVAC systems can easily spread spores throughout the home, impacting areas like carpets, ceiling tiles, and other building materials. To avoid further health risks, it's crucial to address the specific types of mold present to effectively remove and remediate mold in the affected areas.
