When Mark Clymore of Clymore Mold Remediation and Crawlspace Solutions received the call about a residential property in metro Atlanta, he knew immediately this would be one of the most challenging jobs his team had tackled in over 35 years of business.
The Discovery
The homeowner had discovered extensive mold growth that had taken hold in a closet area, spreading across walls, door frames, and even the threshold. The white, fuzzy growth covered nearly every surface – a clear sign that moisture had been present for an extended period, creating the perfect environment for mold colonization.
What made this job particularly difficult wasn’t just the extent of the contamination, but the location and accessibility. Mold had infiltrated tight spaces, worked its way into porous materials, and required meticulous attention to detail to ensure complete remediation.
Why This Job Ranked Among the Worst
In Mark’s own words, this was “one of the worst jobs I’ve ever done.” For a professional with more than three decades of experience, that statement carries significant weight.
The challenges included:
- Heavy contamination across multiple surfaces
- Confined spaces that required careful maneuvering
- Porous materials that needed special treatment
- High stakes – the homeowner’s health and indoor air quality depended on thorough remediation
The Clymore Approach
Clymore Mold Remediation didn’t just treat the visible mold – they followed their proven protocol to ensure complete remediation:
- Containment – Isolating the affected area to prevent cross-contamination
- Safe Removal – Using professional-grade equipment and techniques to remove all mold growth
- Deep Cleaning – Treating all surfaces to eliminate mold spores
- Air Scrubbing – Filtering the air to remove airborne contaminants
- Verification – Post-remediation air quality testing by an independent lab
The Results That Matter
Here’s what sets this success story apart: Clymore Mold Remediation passed the air sampling test on the first attempt.
For those unfamiliar with mold remediation, this is significant. After remediation work is complete, an independent laboratory tests the air quality to ensure mold spore levels have returned to normal, safe levels. Many remediation projects require multiple rounds of testing and additional work.
Not this one.
The lab technician who analyzed the air samples told Mark’s team they had done “an outstanding job” – professional validation that the difficult work had been executed to the highest standards.
Why First-Time Air Quality Clearance Matters
Passing air quality testing on the first attempt means:
- No hidden mold was left behind
- Proper protocols were followed throughout the process
- Complete remediation was achieved
- The home is safe for occupancy
It also saved the homeowner time and additional costs associated with follow-up remediation work.
Education as Prevention
Mark Clymore has always believed that education is the best defense against mold. While this case required professional intervention due to the severity of contamination, understanding how mold develops can help homeowners catch problems early.
Mold needs three things to grow: moisture, organic material (like wood or drywall), and time. Addressing moisture issues quickly – whether from leaks, high humidity, or water damage – is the key to prevention.
