Maybe you wonder what you're getting into. You have some reason to suspect your home might be contaminated by mold. Perhaps you had water damage in the past that wasn't properly remediated — or other damp conditions exist — and resultant mold growth is now evident somewhere. Or maybe someone in the house is experiencing unexplained allergy-like symptoms that could be a reaction to airborne mold spores (See your doctor first, as it might be any number of other things.)
So you've done your due diligence and identified a reputable local mold remediation firm certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Now what?
Here's what to expect from your initial mold remediation appointment:
- Prompt response. An appointment will be set up for a pre-determined day and time for an IICRC-certified mold specialist to visit your home.
- Preliminary inspection. A visual inspection of the premises is the first step. Mold is shy and tends to grow in unseen spaces. An experienced technician knows its hiding places and has specialized equipment to visually access tight spaces unseen by the naked eye. Areas where water damage has occurred in the past or where chronic moisture is present are always suspect. So are damp, dark zones like the basement, crawl space and attic.
- Sampling and testing. Air samples might get taken to detect spores and any suspicious fungal growth will be tested to identify the exact type of mold. After the inspection, you'll receive a written report of test results as well as a recommended mold treatment plan.
- Mold removal. The mold remediation process consists of physically removing all growing mold and disinfecting affected surfaces with EPA-approved fungicides. Where mold has penetrated building materials like drywall, infected segments may be cut out and replaced. To clear the house of residual reproductive spores, the premises will be cleaned with high-efficiency vacuums and the HVAC filters replaced.
- Follow-up. To confirm the results of mold remediation, air samples may be taken at some interval after the treatment.
