The typical 10 Step Process for Mold Removal

  1. Find the source. Locate the origin of the water intrusion. It must be determined and rectified to prevent the water intrusion to from happening again.
  2. Visible Inspection of the Water Damage. Expert technicians look for visible microbe growth by looking in places that may be missed.
  3. Diagnostic Testing. The equipment is specially designed to "sniff out" invisible mold and other mold that may be hiding in the walls, stud framing and drywall. The mold testing instruments ensure thorough identification. When necessary, air sample tests can be taken by a certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP takes samples and test every suspected room. Each mold isn't the identical, and the appropriate tests will be able to distinguish deadly mold from nuisance mold.
  4. Establish Containment. Protection of the household and the rest of the home in the home from the airborne mold spores by establishing containment. This provides an safe border for removal and work can begin. The kind of containment used will vary depending on the area of contamination:
    • Source: small areas of contamination smaller then 10 square. ft. Bagged and removed.
    • Local is an area that can be closed off and remedied, usually 10 sq. feet. to 100 sq. ft.
    • Full-Containment areas which require the use of a temporary containment barrier in order to prevent cross-contamination. The barrier is used to isolate the entire area or multiple rooms.
  5. Air Filtration. Installment of small portable air filtration units that purify the air and improve air quality in the home. In order to protect 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. Take out the Mold. Behind security barriers, technicians start to remove materials affected by mold. This may include baseboards, drywall as well as sinks, cabinets or counters, and flooring in kitchens. Removal of drywall covering ceilings or insulation may be necessary when a roof leak was involved. It may require removing bathtubs or fixtures in the bathroom, if it has been able to penetrate the walls because of leaky pipes. Highly skilled technicians take great care in preserving what can be preserved while making sure removal of any trace of mold.
  7. Treatment for Mold. Once damaged materials were removed professional grade treatment and removal items are applied, following IICRC guidelines. The rest of the surfaces are then cleaned and treated.
  8. Air Purification. After removal and treatment has been finished, air purification is performed for several days.
  9. Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. Once the air purification procedure is completed after the air purification protocol is completed, after the post-remediation air sample testing takes place. conducted and must be given an A+ mark by the IEP.
  10. Equipment Removal. Once post-remediation testing is finished and air sample is accepted by an certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment are removed. This leaves a clean palette to bring in contractors to install flooring or flooring or renovate the kitchen or bath as needed.
