When it comes to mold and you want to make sure your property is safe, you need a Pro!

Your 1st Point of Contact for Home Restoration Coordination.
IRP is Your P.O.C

1. Free Consultation

One of our highly trained mold inspectors will come to your property to determine the source of the moisture, using

moisture meters and inferred cameras. 


2. Testing

 One of our pre-qualified, independent mold testing companies or any certified hazardous material testing company that you choose, will perform the testing that will determine the type and toxicity of the mold in your property. An official lab report will determine the protocol for remediation. 

3. Remediation 

IRP will follow the lab report and protocol step by step during the remediation process.  This process could range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the size and scope of the protocol. Once completed the independent testing company will return to re-test affected areas before producing a clearance letter for the treated spaces.  

1. Stachybotrys

Commonly referred to as “black mold,” stachybotrys is one of the most dangerous types of mold and can cause flu-like symptoms, diarrhea, headaches, memory loss and severe respiratory damage. Because their lungs are still developing, children are at an even greater risk for health problems associated with exposure to black mold.

Black mold is dark in color, although it can also be grey or dark green. It typically has a very musty or mildew odor and is found in very damp areas.

2. Chaetomium

 Most commonly found in homes that have water damage, as it thrives in wet, dark environments such as drywall, wallpaper, baseboards and carpets. This type of mold is similar to black mold and sometimes even shares the same environments.

Along with general signs of allergies such as red, watery eyes and trouble breathing, chaetomium spores can also cause neurological damage and certain autoimmune diseases.

3. Aspergillus

Although aspergillus spores are present in the air that many of us breathe every day, this type of mold can be dangerous to people with comprised immune systems. Exposure to aspergillus may cause allergic reactions, lung infections and a specific type of infection known as aspergillosis.

4. Penicillium

Penicillium is abundant in many everyday environments, but if trapped inside your home, it can cause asthmatic symptoms, bronchitis and other respiratory problems.

5. Fusarium

A type of mold that is most commonly found in plant debris and soil, although it can also be found in very damp areas of your home such as underneath carpeting, inside drywall or foam insulation and in humidifier pans and HVAC systems.

Although quite rare, a serious eye infection called fusarium keratitis can result from exposure to fusarium spores.

6. Alternaria 

A well-known allergy-causing mold, alternaria is present in high amounts in many climate zones during the spring and summer. Although this type of mold is usually not found in building materials, it is can be present in the air inside your home and may also be found in electric cables, cardboard, canvas and other textiles.
