Typical 10 Step Method for removing mold

Find the source. Find out the origin of the water intrusion. The source must be identified and rectified to prevent the water intrusion from occurring again.
Visual Inspection of the The Water Damage. Expert technicians inspect for obvious microbe growth by looking in areas that could be missed.
Diagnostic Testing. The equipment is specially designed to "sniff out" invisibly mold and other mold that may be lurking in the walls, stud framing and drywall. The mold testing meters ensure thorough detection. In the event that it is necessary, air sample tests are conducted by an certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP collects samples and examines every room suspected of having mold. Each mold is not the same, and the proper tests will be able to distinguish deadly mold from just nuisance mold.
Establish Containment. The protection of the household and the rest of the home from airborne mold spores by establishing containment. This establishes a safe area to allow removal of the mold to start. The kind of containment that is used will differ according to the location of contamination:
- Source: small areas of contamination less than 10 sq. ft. Bagged and removed.
- Local: one room that can be sealed off and cleaned, typically 10 sq. ft. up to 100 sq. ft.
- Full containment areas where there is a need for the use of a temporary containment wall in order to prevent cross-contamination. Used to seal off the whole room or multiple rooms.
Air Filtration. The installation of small portable air filtration units to purify the air and enhance air quality in the home. Protecting the family from the spread of airborne pathogens can be achieved by creating negative air pressures between the contaminated area and the rest of the home.
Get rid of the Mold. Behind security barriers, technicians are able to remove materials affected by mold. This may include baseboards, drywall, sinks, cabinets or counters, and flooring in a kitchen. Removal of drywall on ceilings or insulation may be necessary if the roof leak was involved. It may require removing bathtubs or fixtures in the bathroom, if it has penetrated the walls as a result of leaky pipes. Highly skilled technicians are meticulous in conserving what can be kept while also ensuring removal of all traces of mold.
Treatment for Mold. Once the damaged materials were removed professional grade treatment and removal tools are used, following IICRC guidelines. The remaining surfaces are cleaned and treated.
Air Purification. After removal and treatment has been complete, air purification is performed for a number of days.
Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. Once the air purification protocol is completed after the air purification protocol is completed, post-remediation air sample testing is carried out and must be awarded an acceptable mark in accordance with the IEP.
Equipment Removal. After the post-remediation testing is complete and air samples are accepted by an IEP certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment is removed. This leaves a clean palette to bring in contractors to install flooring or flooring or remodel the kitchen or bathroom as required.

What to look for when Hiring an Mold Remediation Company

The Right Price Reputable mold removal companies will never be charged for work that is not necessary. They carefully inspect homes and recommend work necessary to return the home to a healthy condition. Be wary of companies that might increase prices or charge pad fees.
The Right Ethics Look for well-respected companies in location and the surrounding areas. They should offer fair prices and only suggest work that is necessary in order to restore your home and ensure your family's safety. Companies that are reputable stand behind their work with 100%.
The Right Time NOW! If you notice mold that is causing you problems, you need to get rid of it now. Get someone in touch to start the drying process to pinpoint the cause, and begin testing to find out the best way to fix the problem.
The right practices Be sure the mold removal company uses safe methods to protect your family. For instance, safe methods like HEPA vacuuming to control dust or spores control are always preferable over misting, which can introduce an increase in moisture into the area.
The Right Credentials Look for professionals certified in Water Restoration Technician (Water Restoration Technician), ASD (Applied Structural Drying), and AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician).
The Right Team Professional teams adhere according to the most stringent standards throughout the day. From the very first phone call until the post-remediation inspection the team should treat every customer like family and each home like it was their own.
