Mold can grow quickly and spread silently, often resulting in significant damage to your property and health risks to your family. Here are some of the most common causes of mold damage:
Persistent leaks, whether from pipes, plumbing fixtures, or appliances, create the perfect environment for mold growth. If left unaddressed, even small leaks can lead to major problems.
Areas lacking proper airflow, such as bathrooms and attics, hold onto moisture, which can trigger mold growth. Steam from showers or warm air trapped in attics needs effective ventilation to prevent mold proliferation.
Excessive humidity or moisture in your property can cause condensation to form on surfaces such as walls and windows. This damp environment creates the perfect conditions for mold to develop and spread.
After flooding, water seeps deep into materials like carpets, drywall, and furniture. The prolonged dampness creates an ideal breeding ground for mold, often requiring professional intervention.
Water intrusion from a damaged or aging roof often goes unnoticed until the mold becomes visible. Roof leaks affect attics and ceilings, spreading mold spores throughout your home.
Cracks or gaps in your foundation allow water to seep into basements or crawl spaces. This persistent moisture encourages mold to grow in hard-to-reach areas.
Substandard or compromised insulation can trap moisture within walls, creating hidden pockets where mold can flourish undetected.
If you suspect mold in your home, early intervention is critical. At Octagon Cleaning & Restoration Services, we excel in identifying and addressing mold issues, ensuring your property is safe and sound. Contact us today to combat mold damage and protect your space from further harm.

Mold can grow almost anywhere in a building if the conditions are right. Areas exposed to moisture or with low ventilation are at higher risk of mold growth. Mold growth is common in kitchens, bathrooms, attics, and walls. If you see visible mold on wall surfaces, that can often indicate a more extensive mold and moisture problem inside the wall. The best way to ensure all mold is addressed is to work with professionals like Octagon Cleaning & Restoration, who are trained to treat even mold hidden inside walls and in other unexposed areas.
Mold becomes a problem inside a home when there’s excessive humidity or moisture for an extended period. The problem can originate from sudden water releases, like a burst pipe or large spill that goes untreated, or a chronic condition, such as a leaking roof or plumbing. High humidity or warm, moist air condensing on cool surfaces can trigger mold problems.
It’s always best to have the mold evaluated and removed by a certified professional. Octagon Cleaning & Restoration is an ACAC and IICRC-certified firm in mold and microbial remediation.

There’s a lot of misinformation surrounding mold, especially black mold. Some people have falsely been told that black mold is the only dangerous mold. This is untrue. Any mold has the potential to be dangerous for your health and your property. Because of this, all mold problems should be promptly addressed by professionals.
Every insurance policy is different. Professional mold removal is most likely to be covered by insurance when it is caused by sudden, covered events like burst pipes. Mold caused by neglect is typically not covered by policies.
Check your policy to learn more about your coverage.
If you are covered, we will coordinate with your insurance provider to ensure a seamless mold remediation process for you.
Small patches of mold on non-porous surfaces, such as tile, can sometimes be cleaned with household products and proper safety gear. However, larger infestations, mold on porous materials (like drywall or insulation), or hidden mold require professional remediation. DIY efforts often overlook the root cause, and improper cleaning methods can exacerbate the problem or spread spores to other areas.
Professional mold remediation involves more than just cleaning visible mold. Mold spores must be physically removed, and the area must be properly contained to prevent cross-contamination. Bleach and fogging treatments may kill mold, but do not remove health risks or prevent regrowth. At Octagon Cleaning & Restoration, we utilize IICRC-certified techniques and equipment to safely remove mold, ensuring your property is safe.
Most mold remediation jobs take 1–5 days, depending on the severity, size of the affected area, and whether demolition or reconstruction is needed. We’ll provide a detailed project timeline so you know what to expect.
remediation process includes identifying and fixing the source of moisture—whether it’s a leak, poor ventilation, or high humidity—to prevent future growth.
Common signs include musty or earthy odors, visible mold growth (often black, green, or white spots), bubbling paint, warped walls, and increased allergy or respiratory symptoms. You may also notice condensation or moisture issues in specific areas. Mold can also grow behind walls or under flooring, so if you suspect a problem, a professional inspection is recommended.
Often, yes. Mold tends to produce a distinct musty odor. However, not all mold has a noticeable smell, and some infestations can be completely hidden. If you notice a persistent musty smell and can’t locate the source, a mold inspection is a smart next step.
While not all mold is toxic, any mold growth can impact indoor air quality and pose health risks, especially for those with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems. Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is particularly concerning, but all mold should be assessed and remediated professionally to protect your health and prevent further damage.
Mold needs moisture, warmth, and organic material to grow. Common causes include:
No, Octagon Cleaning & Restoration does not conduct post-remediation testing, as it would be a conflict of interest. We recommend independent, third-party environmental testing companies to verify that mold has been completely removed and the affected areas meet industry air quality standards.
Certified mold inspectors use a combination of tools and techniques:
