Simple Indicators That You Might Have a Mold Problem

  1. A sour smell. It's a unique smell. Even if it's impossible to discern anything, you know it's there.
  2. visible microbial growth. Dark splotches on the walls, ceiling floors or baseboards. Splotches in the ceiling may indicate a leaking roof, burst pipe, or condensation in ductwork. Dark patches or the appearance of brown or black mold in the walls may be a sign of a cracked or burst pipe behind the drywall. It may be a slow leak, but the damage can only get worse.
  3. Soft moist areas on the floors, walls or Ceiling. This might indicate that microbial growth may be present. The mold may have not been visible yet, but it could be hiding behind the drywall or on the supporting studs, beneath the flooring or in the attic of your home.
  4. Inexplicable health issue. The constant headaches, coughing or nausea or being sick only at home or in certain places. These symptoms that persist may be a sign that mold is present. The four most vulnerable groups to illnesses caused by mold include:
    • Children
    • The Elderly
    • Immune Deficient
    • Pregnant Women
  5. Recent Water Event. The spores require water to grow and, therefore, a recent water leak or flood, or sewer back-up may have caused the proper water activity required to support mold growth.

A Typical 10 Step Procedure for Mold Removal

  1. Find the Source. Find out the origin of the water intrusion. This must be pinpointed and rectified to prevent the water intrusion to from happening again.
  2. A visible inspection of the Water Damage. Expert technicians examine for visible Microbial growth, looking in places that might be missed.
  3. Diagnostic Testing. The equipment is specially designed to "sniff out" undetectable mold that may be lurking behind walls, on framing studs and drywall. Mold testing instruments ensure thorough detection. When necessary, air sample tests are conducted by an certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP takes samples and tests every suspected room. All mold is not the identical, and the proper 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 creating containment. This provides a safe area for removal work to begin. The kind of containment that is used will differ according to the location of contamination:
    • Source: small areas of contamination, less then 10 square. ft. Bagged and removed.
    • Local is One room which can be closed off and cleaned, typically 10 sq. feet. to 100 sq. ft.
    • Full Containment: areas which require the use of a temporary containment barrier for temporary containment to prevent cross-contamination. It is used to block off the whole room or several rooms.
  5. Air Filtration. Installment of small portable air filtration units that purify the air and improve air quality in the home. The protection of the family from airborne pathogens is achieved through the establishment of negative air pressures between the air-contaminated zone and the rest of the home.
  6. Remove the Mold. Behind safety barriers, technicians begin to remove materials impacted by mold. This may include drywall, baseboards, cabinets, sinks or counters, and flooring in the kitchen. The removal of drywall from ceilings or insulation may be necessary when a roof leak occurred. It may involve removing bathtubs or fixtures in the bathroom, if it has penetrated the walls as a result of leaky pipes. Skilled technicians are meticulous in keeping what is saved while making sure removal of all evidence of mold.
  7. Mold Treatment. After damaged materials are removed, professional-grade treatment and removal tools are applied, following IICRC guidelines. The surfaces that remain are then cleaned and treated.
  8. Air Purification. After removal and treatment has been completed, air purification is performed for several days.
  9. Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. After the air purification procedure is completed after the air purification protocol is completed, post-remediation air sample testing takes place. carried out and must be awarded an A+ mark through the IEP.
  10. Equipment Removal. Once after post-remediation testing is completed and air samples are accepted by an IEP certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment is removed. This creates a clear canvas for bringing in contractors to install walls or flooring or remodel the kitchen or bathroom as needed.
