The Process of Mold Remediation

Our mold remediation technicians can assist you with halting the spread of mold in your home and preventing it from happening again.

Containment and Ventilaltion

The first step, and arguably the most important, is setting up containment and ventilation. The use of proper ventilation and air filtration devices (AFDs) such as air scrubbers is required to ensure that mold spores that are disturbed and become airborne are not spreading to an uninfected area to be removed.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Cleaning and disinfecting is the next step in removal and this is the stage that includes the actual remediation and disposal of infected materials. After the cleaning and disinfecting, then the technicians apply biocide/fungicide/moldicide solutions.

Fix the Mold Source

The next step is where the technicians address any moisture or humidity concerns. For example, if a loose bathroom fan duct is running into an attic, the fan duct may be fixed. If the fix is easy, the mold remediation and removal company may take on the repair by itself. For more involved repairs, the company may hire a sub-contractor or recommend one for the homeowner.

Encapsulate the Mold

Mold that has not been removed is encapsulated by paint or a similar material. Encapsulation is an approved method of dealing with mold in a home.

Installation

The crawl space dehumidifier installation company you choose is just as important as the actual equipment. In order for it to work, it needs to be installed correctly. Usually, your dehumidifier needs to be paired with a ventilation system, a vapor barrier, and a drainage system.
