Mold Removal

Frequently, the two best senses in determining a mold problem are your eyes and your nose. However, some of the most dangerous microbes often flourish in areas behind walls, under insulation, crawlspaces and attics. 

Assessing mold contamination through lab testing is key and we recommend you use an environmental consultant for this service.

Determining the cause of your mold infestation is key to preventing recurrence. Once the moisture source is identified and controlled, our system of containment, removal techniques and analysis will be shared with you. In most cases, a containment area will be established using impermeable plastic barriers and utilizing negative air pressure to contain spores. The HVAC system will be isolated if necessary. 

Proper disposition of the mold is determined by its location type and the specific materials it has colonized. Removing the mold includes several options: wet washing, wire brushing, and HEPA vacuuming, to name a few. In some cases, complete removal of infected materials is mandatory (i.e. drywall). Once cleaned, an area may require the application of biocides, based on the written protocol. 

Third party, post-treatment testing is required, especially, if airborne mold spores were detected in the evaluation phase. Samples will be taken to verify that the mold has been removed to a safe, acceptable level during the remediation process.
