A Typical 10 Step Procedure for Mold Removal

  1. Find the Source. Locate the origin of the water intrusion. This must be pinpointed and remedied so as to prevent the water intrusion from happening again.
  2. Visible Inspection of the Inspection of the Damage. Expert technicians examine for obvious microbe growth and look in places that might be missed.
  3. Diagnostic Testing. The equipment is specially designed to "sniff out" invisible mold and other mold that may be lurking behind walls, on stud framing and drywall. The mold testing devices ensure thorough detection. In the event that it is necessary, air sample tests are conducted by a certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP collects samples and tests every suspected room. Each mold is not the same, and the right tests will be able to distinguish deadly mold from just nuisance mold.
  4. Establish Containment. Protection of the family and the remainder of the home from airborne mold spores by establishing containment. This establishes the safe boundary to allow removal work to begin. The kind of containment that is used will differ depending on the location of contamination:
    • Source: small areas of contamination smaller that 10 sq. ft. Bagged and removed.
    • Local: one room that is able to be sealed off and cleaned, typically 10 sq. ft. up to 100 sq. ft.
    • Full containment areas that require a temporary containment barrier in order to prevent cross-contamination. It is used to block off the whole room or several rooms.
  5. Air Filtration. Installation of portable air filtration units to cleanse the air and enhance air quality in the home. In order to protect the family from airborne pathogens is accomplished by establishing negative air pressures between the air-contaminated zone and the remainder of the home.
  6. Get rid of the Mold. Behind safety barriers, the technicians start to remove materials affected by mold. This may include drywall, baseboards and cabinets, sinks or counters, and flooring in the kitchen. Removal of drywall covering ceilings or insulation may be necessary if a roof leak occurred. It might involve removing tubs or fixtures in the bathroom if it has penetrated the walls as a result of leaky pipes. Professionally trained 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 the damaged materials are removed, professional grade treatment and removal products are applied, following IICRC guidelines. The remaining surfaces are cleaned and treated.
  8. Air Purification. After removal and treatment complete, the treatment and removal complete, air purification is performed for several days.
  9. Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. Once the air purification procedure is complete after the air purification protocol is completed, post-remediation air sample testing will be conducted and must be awarded a passing mark in accordance with the IEP.
  10. Equipment Removal. After after post-remediation testing is finished and air samples are deemed acceptable by a 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 redesign the kitchen or bathroom as needed.
