The terms mold remediation, mold mitigation and mold removal are often used interchangeably. To remediate means to address the problem. Mold remediation is the term used to describe all the processes involved in addressing harmful mold growth. The process includes mold testing, removal, sanitizing, containment, and mold cleaning, depending on the type and location.
An IIRC certified mold remediation company that understands mold growth will perform the necessary remediation to get the mold levels in your home back to a harmless point.
At SCCS NWI, we provide expert mold remediation throughout the NW Indiana area. Our professional technicians are trained and experienced in mold remediation. We will diagnose your mold issues, find the root of the problem, and develop a detailed plan for remediation.
Mold is never something a homeowner wants to deal with. From headaches to skin issues, mold can cause numerous health effects, particularly for the young, the elderly, and those suffering from breathing problems. At SCCS NWI we have dealt with these issues within our own family, so we understand how important it is to address mold issues.

Rest assured that once we understand the severity of your mold problems, we will then create a customized plan to address the issue.
Yes. SCCS can come to your home or business to conduct mold testing. We do both surface testing when there is the suspicion of mold growing in a certain area, or air testing to deduct mold that have become airborne. It does not take long for the technician to gather the samples. We then send the samples to a lab and results are usually in within 7 business days.
If you suspect mold in your home or business, it is recommended that you have mold testing done. However, you can have mold testing done even if you do not see any signs of mold, but simply would like the testing completed for peace of mind.
Health effects of mold exposure can include mild symptoms that are very similar to seasonal allergy symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing, sore throat, skin irritation, watery eyes, congestion, and headache. Mold exposure can also cause severe reactions in some individuals, such as infections and potentially life-threatening diseases.
