What's Involved in the 7-Step Mold Remediation Process?

Moisture Detection During Professional Mold Inspection And Remediation Process

A successful mold remediation process begins as soon as possible. Mold only worsens as time passes after exposure to moisture. Indeed, its damaging effects may actually commence just hours after a water spill activates the spores that lie dormant in any house.

These are the steps that make up an effective and professional mold removal process.

Evaluation " A professional will personally inspect areas of the home most likely to harbor mold. The type and extent of mold will be identified, and a mold remediation plan based on this information will be formulated.
Containment " Sources of moisture will be identified and eliminated. Infected areas will be closed to prevent spread of mold spores to other areas of the home.
Air filtering " Portable air cleaners incorporating medical-grade HEPA filtration will be utilized to remove airborne microscopic mold spores. Mold remediation contractors will wear eye protection and masks to avoid mold infection.
Contaminated material " Because mold invades the sub-surface structure of porous substances, affected building materials and any other porous materials where mold growth was situated should be removed from the home. Non-porous materials may be cleaned.
HVAC issues " Because the coil and ducts of central heating and cooling units are prime locations for mold growth, these components should be inspected by a pro and decontaminated if required.
Humidity and moisture " Your mold remediation company may discuss the need to maintain low household humidity and minimize other sources of interior moisture in order to facilitate the drying process.
Structural repair " Any components removed due to invasive mold or water damage will be replaced with clean, decontaminated materials.
Final testing " After mold removal, the premises are re-examined to verify the absence of mold and that moisture sources have not recurred.
