If necessary, air sample tests can be taken by a certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP will take samples and examines every room suspected of having mold. Every mold is not the exact same and the appropriate tests will be able to distinguish deadly mold from just nuisance mold.
Establish Containment. Protecting the members of the family and the rest of the home in the home from airborne mold spores by creating containment. This provides an safe area to allow removal and work can begin. The type of containment that is used will differ depending on the location of contamination:

- Local: One room which can be closed off and remedied, usually 10 sq. feet. to 100 sq. ft.

Air Filtration. Installment of small portable air filtration units that purify the air and improve air quality in the home.

Remove the Mold. Behind security barriers, technicians start to remove materials affected by mold. This may include baseboards, drywall, cabinets, sinks or counters, and flooring in a 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 the water has been able to penetrate the walls because of leaky pipes. Skilled technicians take great care in conserving what can be preserved while making sure removal of all evidence of mold.
Treatment for Mold. Once damaged materials were removed professional grade treatment and removal tools are applied, following IICRC guidelines. The remaining surfaces are cleaned and treated.
Air Purification. After removal and treatment is completed, air purification is performed for several days.
Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. After the air purification protocol is completed, after the post-remediation air sample testing will be conducted and must be given a passing mark through the IEP.
Equipment Removal. When the post-remediation testing is finished and air samples are considered acceptable by an IEP certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment are removed. This provides a clean canvas for bringing in contractors to install walls or flooring or renovate the kitchen or bathroom as needed.
