  1. Find the Source. Locate the root of the water intrusion. This must be pinpointed and corrected so as to prevent the water intrusion occurring again. happening again.
  2. Visible Inspection of the Water Damage. Expert technicians examine for obvious microbial growth, looking in areas that could be overlooked.
  3. Diagnostic Testing. Specialized equipment can "sniff out" undetectable mold which may be lurking in the walls, on stud framing and drywall. Mold testing devices ensure thorough testing for. In the event that it is necessary, air sample tests can be taken by an 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 will be able to distinguish deadly mold from merely nuisance mold.
  4. Establish Containment. The protection of the members of the family and the remainder of the home from the airborne mold spores by establishing containment. This establishes an safe border for removal of the mold to start. The type of containment employed will differ depending on the area of contamination:
    • Source: small areas of contamination less then 10 square. ft. Bagged and removed.
    • Local: one room that can be closed off and remedied, usually 10 sq. ft. up to 100 sq. ft.
    • Full containment areas which require an interim containment barriers for temporary containment to prevent cross-contamination. Used to seal off the entire area or multiple rooms.
  5. Air Filtration. Installment of portable air filtration units to purify the air and enhance air quality in the home. The protection of the family from pathogens that are transmitted by air 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 security barriers, technicians start to remove materials impacted by mold. This may include baseboards, drywall and cabinets, sinks or counters, and flooring in the kitchen. Removal of drywall on ceilings or insulation may be necessary when the roof leak is involved. It might require removing tubs or fixtures in the bathroom if it has penetrated the walls as a result of leaky pipes. Professionally trained technicians are meticulous in preserving what can be saved while taking care to ensure removal of any trace of mold.
  7. Mold Treatment. After damaged materials were removed professional-grade treatment and removal items are used, following IICRC guidelines. The rest of the surfaces are then cleaned and treated.
  8. Air Purification. Once removal and treatment has been complete, air purification is performed for several days.
  9. Post-Remediation Air Sample Testing. After the air purification protocol is complete, after the post-remediation air sample testing is carried out and is given an acceptable mark in accordance with the IEP.
  10. Equipment Removal. After after post-remediation testing is completed and air samples are deemed acceptable by an certified mold assessor or IEP, containment barriers and equipment are removed. This creates a clear canvas to bring in contractors to install walls or flooring or renovate the kitchen or bathroom as needed.
