A Typical 10 Step Process for Mold Remediation

  1. Find the Source. Find out the root of the water intrusion. This must be pinpointed and corrected in order to prevent the water intrusion from repeating itself.
  2. A visible inspection of the The Water Damage. Expert technicians examine for visible microbe growth by looking in places that may be missed.
  3. Diagnostic Testing. Specialized equipment can "sniff out" invisible mold and other mold that may be lurking behind walls, on framing studs and drywall. Mold testing instruments ensure thorough identification. When necessary, air sample tests can be conducted by a certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP collects samples and test every suspected room. All mold isn't the same, and the appropriate tests will be able to distinguish deadly mold from merely nuisance mold.
  4. Establish Containment. The protection of the household and the remainder of the home against airborne mold spores by establishing containment. This establishes an safe boundary to allow removal of the mold to start. The type of containment employed will differ in accordance with the zone of contamination:
    • Source: small areas of contamination, less then 10 square. ft. Bagged and removed.
    • Local: an area that is able to be sealed off and remedied, usually 10 sq. feet. up to 100 sq. ft.
    • Full-Containment areas that require an interim containment barrier to prevent cross-contamination. The barrier is used to isolate the entire area or several rooms.
  5. Air Filtration. Installment of portable air filtration units that purify the air and enhance air quality in the home. The protection of the family from pathogens that are transmitted by air is accomplished by establishing negative air tension between the air-contaminated zone and the rest of the home.
  6. Remove the Mold. Behind safety barriers, technicians start to remove materials that are impacted by mold. This may include drywall, baseboards, cabinets, sinks or counters, and flooring in kitchens. Removal of drywall from ceilings or insulation may be necessary when the roof leak is involved. It could require removing tubs or fixtures in the bathroom if the water has penetrated the walls because of leaky pipes. Highly skilled technicians are meticulous in preserving what can be saved while making sure removal of all evidence of mold.
  7. Mold Treatment. Once damaged materials have been removed professional-grade treatment and removal items are used, following IICRC guidelines. The surfaces that remain are then cleaned and treated.
  8. Air Purification. Once removal and treatment has been completed, air purification is performed for a number of days.
  9. Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. After the air purification procedure is completed, post-remediation air sample testing will be carried out and must be given a passing mark in accordance with the IEP.
  10. Equipment Removal. When post-remediation testing is complete and air samples are considered acceptable by an certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment is removed. This provides a clean canvas for bringing in contractors to repair the walls or flooring or redesign the kitchen or bathroom as required.

What to Look for When Hiring a Mold Remediation Company
