The Process of Mold Remediation

12/27/2016 (Permalink)

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrated our "typical" process:

  1. Emergency Contact- (909) 598-8400

The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel.

       2. Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment 

We carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Mold feeds on cellulose and water, it can be hidden from plain view. We use various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources.

      3. Mold Containment

Our professionals use various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold. We may use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the containment area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the clean up process. All fans from heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread of mold.

     4. Air Filtration

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilized powerful "air Scrubbers" and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.

     5. Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. We'll use anti-fungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to prevent new colonies from forming. It may be necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to re-mediate heavy mold growth. 

     6. Cleaning Contents and Belongings 

We clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by mold. We use a variety of cleaning techniques to clean and disinfect your belongings. We're also trained to remove odors and deodorization using fogging equipment.

    7. Restoration

Depending on the level of mold damage, Drywall, Sub-floors, and other building materials may have been removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs, such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business. the restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
