The typical 10 Step Process for removing mold

  1. Find the Source. Find out the origin of the water intrusion. The source must be identified 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 microbial growth by looking in places that might be overlooked.
  3. Diagnostic Testing. The equipment is specially designed to "sniff out" undetectable mold and other mold that may be hiding behind walls, on stud framing and drywall. Mold testing devices ensure thorough identification. When necessary, air sample tests are conducted by a certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP collects samples and test every suspected room. All mold is not the same, and the proper tests can distinguish dangerous mold from just nuisance mold.
  4. Establish Containment. Protecting the family and the rest of the home from airborne mold spores by establishing containment. This provides a safe boundary for removal of the mold to start. The kind of containment used will vary depending on the area of contamination:
    • Source: small areas of contamination less than 10 sq. ft. Bagged and removed.
    • Local: an area that can be closed off and remediated, usually 10 sq. feet. up to 100 sq. ft.
    • Full-Containment areas that require a temporary containment barriers for temporary containment to prevent cross-contamination. The barrier is used to isolate an entire room or multiple rooms.
  5. Air Filtration. The installation of small portable air filtration units to purify the air and improve air quality in the home. Protecting the family from pathogens that are transmitted by air is accomplished by establishing negative air pressures between the air-contaminated zone and the remainder of the home.
  6. Remove the Mold. Behind safety barriers, the technicians start to remove materials that are impacted by mold. This may include baseboards, drywall and cabinets, sinks or counters, and flooring in kitchens. The removal of drywall from ceilings or insulation may be necessary when the roof leak occurred. It could include removing tubs or fixtures in the bathroom if it has penetrated the walls due to leaking pipes. Professionally trained technicians take great care in keeping what is kept while also ensuring removal of all evidence of mold.
  7. Mold Treatment. Once the damaged materials have been removed professional-grade treatment and removal tools are used, following IICRC guidelines. The remaining surfaces are cleaned and treated.
  8. Air Purification. Once removal and treatment is completed, air purification is performed for several days.
  9. Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. After the air purification protocol is completed after the air purification protocol is completed, following remediation air sample testing is conducted and must be awarded an A+ score through the IEP.
  10. Equipment Removal. When the post-remediation testing is finished and air sample is considered acceptable by an certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment are removed. This leaves a clean palette to bring in contractors to repair the walls or flooring or redesign the kitchen or bath as needed.
