Mold removed in Wall Township, NJ home

Recently, during a pending sale of a home in Wall Township, NJ, the home inspector found mold growing underneath the basement stairs. At some point, there had been a small water intrusion in that corner of the basement, and, unbeknownst to the homeowner/seller, had triggered some mold growth. The mold growth wasn’t extensive, which is probably why it went unnoticed until discovered by the home inspector. Nevertheless, it was enough of a problem to potentially throw a wrench into the works, so to speak, so the homeowner contacted Mold Solutions by Cowleys to treat the mold. 

After identifying the mold-affected areas of the basement, we applied an EPA-registered antimicrobial MAPS 1, which attacks mold at its DNA and kills it instantly. Next, we applied MAPS 2, which is our patented sealant that encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders the mold non-allergenic and harmless. MAPS 2 is also moisture-sensitive and reactivates whenever it gets wet to prevent the return of mold. Some staining had occurred on the walls, but they are purely aesthetic and pose no health risk. Once MAPS 1 & 2 have been applied, the mold is no longer a threat.

A homeowner inspection that uncovers mold growth does not necessarily mean a lost sale or significant renovation expenditures to remedy the problem. Instead, with our mold treatment process, we can resolve most mold issues in less than a day — and with a pending sale that means no delay in the closing.
