An indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) can evaluate the type and level of contamination in your property and assist you to restore it to a healthy state.

The typical 10 Step Procedure for Mold Removal

  1. Find the Source. Locate the root of the water intrusion. The source must be identified and remedied to prevent the water intrusion from occurring again.
  2. Visual Inspection of the Inspection of the Damage. Expert technicians look for obvious microbe growth, looking in areas that could be overlooked.
  3. Diagnostic Testing. The equipment is specially designed to "sniff out" invisible mold which may be lurking behind walls, on framing studs and drywall. Mold testing instruments ensure thorough testing for. In the event that it is necessary, air sample tests can be conducted by a certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP takes samples and test every suspected room. Each mold is not the exact same and the proper tests can separate deadly mold from nuisance mold.
  4. Establish Containment. Protecting the members of the family and the remainder of the home in the home from the airborne mold spores by creating containment. This creates the safe area to allow removal of the mold to start. The kind of containment used will vary in accordance with the zone of contamination:
    • Source: small areas of contamination less than 10 sq. ft. Bagged and removed.
    • Local: one room that can be closed off and cleaned, typically 10 sq. ft. up to 100 sq. ft.
    • Full-Containment areas that require a temporary containment wall for temporary containment to prevent cross-contamination. It is used to block off an entire room or multiple rooms.
  5. Air Filtration. The installation of small portable air filtration units to cleanse the air and enhance air quality in the home. In order to protect the family from the spread of airborne pathogens is achieved through the establishment of negative air pressure between the affected area and the remainder of the home.
  6. Get rid of the Mold. Behind security barriers, technicians are able to remove materials that are impacted by mold. This may include baseboards, drywall and cabinets, sinks or counters, and flooring in a kitchen. The removal of drywall covering ceilings or insulation may be necessary when the roof leak is involved. It may include removing bathtubs or fixtures in the bathroom, if it has entered the walls due to leaking pipes. Skilled technicians take great care in preserving what can be kept while also taking care to ensure removal of all evidence of mold.
  7. Mold Treatment. Once damaged materials are removed, professional-grade treatment and removal items are applied, following IICRC guidelines. The surfaces that remain are then cleaned and treated.
  8. Air Purification. Once removal and treatment is finished, air purification is performed for a number of days.
  9. Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. Once the air purification protocol is complete after the air purification protocol is completed, following remediation air sample testing will be carried out and is given an A+ mark in accordance with the IEP.
  10. Equipment Removal. Once after post-remediation testing is finished and air sample is accepted by an certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment are removed. This creates a clear canvas for bringing in contractors to repair walls or flooring or remodel the kitchen or bathroom as needed.

What to Look For When Finding a Mold Remediation Company

  • The Right Price A reputable mold removal companies will never cost more than needed. They will carefully examine homes and suggest the actions necessary to return the home to an healthy state. Be wary of businesses that may overcharge you or charge pad fees.
  • The Right Ethics Choose reputable businesses in the "location" and nearby areas. They should have fair rates and only suggest work that is necessary to restore your home and ensure the safety of your family. Reputable companies stand behind their work 100%.
  • The Right Time NOW! If you find mold that is causing you problems, you need to get rid of it quickly. Contact someone to begin the drying process, determine the source, and begin testing to determine how to fix the problem.
  • The right practices Be sure the mold removal company utilizes safe methods for your family. For example, appropriate methods like HEPA vacuuming to control dust or spores control is always preferred over misting, which can bring an increase in moisture into the zone.
  • The Credentials You Need Seek out technicians certified in the areas of WRT (Water Restoration Technician), ASD (Applied Structural Drying), and AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician).
  • The Right Team Professional teams adhere in accordance with the highest standards throughout the day. From the initial phone call to the post-remediation inspection, they should treat every client as family and every home as if it was their own.
