Typical 10 Step Procedure for Mold Removal

  1. Find the Source. Find out the root of the water intrusion. This must be pinpointed and remedied in order to prevent the water intrusion to from occurring again.
  2. Visible Inspection of the Water Damage. Expert technicians inspect for obvious Microbial growth by looking in places that might be missed.
  3. Diagnostic Testing. Specialized equipment can "sniff out" undetectable mold which may be lurking in the walls, stud framing and drywall. Its mold testing instruments ensure thorough identification. If necessary, air sample tests can be taken by a certified mold assessor or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). The IEP takes samples and tests every suspected room. Each mold is not the same, and the proper tests will be able to distinguish deadly mold from just nuisance mold.
  4. Establish Containment. The protection of the household and the remainder of the home in the home from the airborne mold spores by establishing containment. This provides an safe border for removal and work can begin. The kind of containment used will vary according to the area of contamination:
    • Source: small areas of contamination, less that 10 sq. ft. Bagged and removed.
    • Local is an area that is able to be sealed off and remedied, usually 10 sq. ft. up to 100 sq. ft.
    • Full Containment: areas where there is a need for the use of a temporary containment barrier to prevent cross-contamination. Used to seal off the whole room or several rooms.
  5. Air Filtration. Installment of small portable air filtration units that purify the air and enhance air quality in the home. Protecting the family from airborne pathogens can be achieved by creating negative air pressure between the affected area and the remainder of the home.
  6. Remove the Mold. Behind security barriers, technicians are able to remove materials affected by mold. This may include baseboards, drywall and cabinets, sinks or counters, and flooring in a kitchen. The removal of drywall covering ceilings or insulation may be necessary if a roof leak is involved. It may involve removing bathtubs or fixtures in the bathroom if the water has entered the walls due to leaking pipes. Highly skilled technicians take great care in preserving what can be kept while also making sure removal of all traces of mold.
  7. Mold Treatment. Once the damaged materials are removed, professional grade treatment and removal products are applied, following IICRC guidelines. The rest of the surfaces are then cleaned and treated.
  8. Air Purification. After removal and treatment is completed, air purification is performed for a number of days.
  9. Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. Once the air purification procedure is complete After the process is complete, after the post-remediation air sample testing will be conducted and must be awarded an acceptable mark through the IEP.
  10. Equipment Removal. When post-remediation testing is finished and air tests are accepted by a certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment is removed. This creates a clear canvas to bring in contractors to replace the walls or flooring or redesign the kitchen or bathroom as required.

What to Look for When Finding an Mold Remediation Company

  • The Right Price Reputable mold removal companies will not be charged for work that is not required. They carefully inspect homes and suggest the actions necessary to restore the home to the healthy condition. Be cautious of companies that might overcharge you or bill you for pad costs.
  • The Right Ethics Find reputable companies in location and the surrounding areas. They should have fair rates and only recommend work that is necessary in order to restore your home and ensure your family's safety. Reputable companies stand behind their work 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 identify the source, and begin testing to find out the best way to fix the problem.
  • The Right Practices Make sure that the mold removal company utilizes safe procedures to protect your family. For example, proper techniques like HEPA vacuuming for dust/spore control is always preferred over misting, which can introduce more moisture into the area.
  • The right credentials Seek out professionals certified in WRT (Water Restoration Technician), ASD (Applied Structural Drying), and AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician).
  • The Right Team Professional teams operate in accordance with the most stringent standards every day. From the initial phone call up to the post-remediation inspection the team must treat each customer as family and every home in the same way as it is their own.
