If mold is detected early-on and treated quickly, it is possible for a professional to safely and adequately treat the surface; remove the mold, and help prevent regrowth (this is typically referred to as “removal”). However, if it has creeped deep into porous materials or has somehow gotten into structural elements (such as supporting walls or sub-floors, etc), then a more thorough approach called “remediation” may be the only way to treat it. This may require the use of special equipment such as negative air machines, and it may even necessitate demolition and restoration of some parts of the physical structure.
