Mold is a sneaky and potentially dangerous household problem. According to the National Center for Healthy Houses, 6% to 10% of the general population is allergic to mold. Even if you aren’t allergic, mold exposure can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and other health effects. Luckily, our professional mold remediation service is here to help. We use proven methods to safely and effectively eliminate mold from your home or business and prevent it from coming back. Keep reading to learn seven ways a mold remediation service can help you.

1. Conduct Mold Inspection

The first step in any mold remediation project is a detailed inspection. Our trained technicians will thoroughly assess your property for any signs of mold or moisture issues that could lead to mold growth. We’ll use moisture meters, air sampling, and infrared cameras as needed. The goal is to identify all affected areas and how far the mold has spread. We’ll determine if the mold is surface mold or subsurface growth and pinpoint the moisture source allowing it to thrive. This enables us to plan the proper remediation approach.

2. Create Remediation Plan

Next, an honest remediation plan is created that is tailored to your mold problem. There are usually several ways to tackle a mold issue. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each method so you can choose the right solution for your needs and budget. Our experts handle all sizes of mold problems from small to severe infestations. No job is too big or too small. We customize the remediation plan to match the unique requirements of your property and the scope of work needed.

3. Protect Your Belongings

Before starting the remediation process, we take steps to protect your belongings from contamination or damage. This includes covering surfaces with plastic sheeting and removing items from affected rooms that could get in the way. We take the utmost care while working in your home or business to avoid any unnecessary mess or damage. Any items we move are carefully returned to their original place when finished.

4. Control Airflow & Containment

A key part of mold remediation is proper airflow and containment. This keeps mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas during the work. Appropriate containment also protects contractors from exposure. We set up specialized equipment like negative air machines and dehumidifiers. Plastic sheeting, air scrubbers, and other tools maintain proper containment throughout the project. This protects both your property and our crew.

5. Eliminate Moisture Sources

Mold can’t grow without moisture, so eliminating any moisture sources is imperative. We identify and fix any water leaks, humidity issues, drainage problems, condensation, or other factors allowing mold to thrive. This step is essential to prevent mold from returning after remediation. We want to make your home or business as mold-resistant as possible for the long run. Our service solves both the current mold issue and the root cause.

6. Remove Affected Materials

Now it’s time to remove moldy materials. We use established techniques based on EPA guidelines to cleanly and safely rid your property of mold. Appropriate methods are matched to the type of material affected. For porous items like drywall and insulation, we discard and replace severely affected sections. Non-porous and semi-porous surfaces are professionally cleaned and disinfected. We handle everything appropriately and legally.

7. Disinfect & Clean Surfaces

After moldy materials are removed, we thoroughly clean and disinfect all surfaces in the affected areas. This kills any remaining mold spores and prevents re-growth. We use industrial-strength, anti-microbial solutions that wipe out stubborn mold residue. All contents and belongings are also cleaned to remove any mold, dust, or debris before being returned to the area. Meticulous surface cleaning ensures mold is banished for good.
