You want to be sure that any person who comes into your home is fully qualified to perform professional mold remediation or decontamination after sewage influx; so do we. That's why at Rytech we insist that our mold remediation specialists undergo the training and testing required to receive AMRT certification. Short for Applied Microbial Remedial Technician, the certification program is offered by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification), the predominant industry organization that sets standard practices for water damage and mold remediation. As a prerequisite, the AMRT program also requires IICRC Water Damage Treatment Restoration certification because water damage and mold are intrinsically linked. The onset of active mold growth in a home can be considered presumptive just hours after inundation with water from any source.
A healthy home environment is critical to you — and to us. We'll dispatch AMRT-certified technicians to make sure the job is done with the latest techniques and to the highest standards in the industry. You have our assurance that these individuals are trained and tested for expertise in these critical areas:
- The microbiology involved in indoor mold as well as toxins in raw sewage.
- The selection and proper use of EPA-approved fungicides and disinfectants formulated to treat specific types of mold growth and sewage contamination.
- Methods of sampling — including air samples of spores and physical samples of growing mold — to determine the type of contamination and estimate the extent inside the house.
- Procedure to contain the primary contamination and prevent further spread of spores throughout the house.
- Elimination of active mold and disinfection of surfaces, as well as techniques to remove and replace building materials where mold growth has penetrated below the surface.
- Proper disposal of contaminated materials.
- Indoor air quality monitoring and treatment to eliminate residual airborne spores. This includes inspecting HVAC ductwork and coils and changing air filters.
- Follow-up evaluation criteria to verify the effectiveness of the procedure.
