Our Six Step Mold Remediation Process



Our comprehensive mold remediation strategy is designed to effectively address and resolve mold issues within your property, following these key steps:

Antimicrobial Treatment: As a preemptive measure against mold, especially after water damage without visible mold growth, we apply antimicrobial agents. These agents not only prevent mold from developing during the drying process but can also eliminate any existing mold spores.

Moisture and Source Detection: Mold typically thrives in moist environments. Commonly affected areas include bathrooms, basements, under sinks, and around window sills due to condensation. Employing advanced moisture detection tools and thermal imaging, our experts identify areas with elevated moisture levels to precisely identify the moisture source.

Containment: To prevent the spread of mold spores during remediation, we isolate the affected areas. This containment process is essential for minimizing cross-contamination risks to unaffected sections of your property.

Air Filtration: To clear the air from mold spores, dust, and other airborne particles, we employ negative air machines equipped with HEPA filters. These machines operate continuously during remediation to ensure the air in the contained area remains clean.

Mold Removal and Cleanup: Effective mold remediation often necessitates the complete removal of contaminated materials, such as drywall, insulation, and carpets. Adhering to IICRC S520 standards, we conduct thorough cleanups for areas larger than 10 square feet, involving licensed environmental hygienists for final clearance testing, assuring that mold has been properly eradicated.

Restoration: Post-remediation, we may need to replace materials removed during the cleanup process. Our restoration services seek to repair and restore your property to its original condition prior to mold damage.
