Mold Removal & Remediation: The Process

Once we verified a property is in need of mold remediation a protocol or work plan is put together to perform a mold remediation and remove the problem. Here we will explain various steps of the process so you can understand why each item is necessary when looking at an estimate.

Containment

If the mold growth is isolated to a certain room or section of a property, a containment is made for work to be performed in. This protects other areas of the home/building from contamination and allows occupants to remain while work is taking place.

Removing of Damaged Materials

When porous materials like drywall, baseboard, crown molding, carpet, wood flooring, etc are damaged by mold they must be taken out and discarded.

Encapsulation

After a structure is cleaned, it may be recommended that the surface be “encapsulated”. This is simply using a anti-microbial paint to cover up staining and prevent future growth. Even after mold is gone, damage may have been done that staining is still visible. Encapsulation is a good option so it does not gather unwanted attention in circumstances like home sale. Also if mold was growing in this area once before, it does not hurt to have an extra layer of security to prevent it from re-occurring.

Stop Mold From Returning: Mold Prevention

Water intrusion and moisture are what cause mold problems. In order to prevent mold from returning after mold remediation has been completed, you MUST address the source of the water/moisture.
