In the event that it is necessary, air sample tests can be taken by a certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP collects samples and test every suspected room. Each mold is not the same, and the proper tests can distinguish dangerous mold from just nuisance mold.

This establishes a safe boundary to allow removal work to begin. The type of containment employed will differ according to the location of contamination:

    • Local is One room which can be closed off and cleaned, typically 10 sq. ft. up to 100 sq. ft.

This may include drywall, baseboards, sinks, cabinets or counters, and flooring in kitchens. The removal of drywall from ceilings or insulation may be necessary in the event of a roof leak is involved. It may involve removing bathtubs or fixtures in the bathroom, if it has entered the walls because of leaky pipes. Highly skilled technicians take great care in preserving what can be preserved while ensuring removal of all traces of mold.

What to Look For When Hiring a Mold Remediation Company
