Advanced Mold Testing and Mold Remediation Services

 

Mold Remediation Procedures ::

1) We set-up a proper containment area to prevent the spread of mold spores from the contaminated work area. Then, a hepa air scrubbing machine is installed to remove air-born mold spores during the mold removal procedures. 

2) Removing the Mold Contaminated Materials:  We then remove and dispose of all porous, contaminated materials.

 

3) Killing and Cleaning the Mold:  Then, our Mold Remediation Technology is applied by trained, professional technicians. We'll apply a moldicide/cleaner/sanitizer/ disinfectant specifically formulated for mold remediation that will kill all surface molds. We'll then apply a stain remover that will remove the mold staining on the remaining surfaces. We then perform an additional step that most mold remediation companies skip -  We treat the wall and or ceiling materials with a long lasting, odorless fungicide that is designed to penetrate deeper into the wood to kill the mold roots (hyphae) and prevent mold re-growth. 

                    

           4) A anti-microbial encapsulant sealant can also be applied.  We use different types for various areas. 

Note: We also offer CO2 dry-ice blast cleaning for mold removal from mold contaminated attic ceilings and for fire damage restoration. See - Dry-Ice Blasting Page

Note: Mold remediation is very case specific. Our treatments are tailored to the unique situation of each property. Sometimes elderly or sick people can't leave the premises. Some basements have flooding or moisture problems. Some attics have ventilation problems or ice dams. All these conditions will need to be considered before a proper mold remediation plan can be written.

Post-Testing ::

Is it gone?   How do I know?   After a mold remediation job has been completed, our company can perform additional mold testing to the treated areas in the environment where the risks were identified and a mold removal procedure was performed. These can be either indoor air testing or direct sample re-testing. Data analysis from these new culture surveys is made available to the client on a confidential basis. At that point we can provide a scientific-based before and after evaluation of our work to demonstrate and to provide assurance that the building is safe.

Prevention ::

How can I stop mold from returning after I have had a mold remediation treatment performed?   Find the water intrusion source(s) and correct them.

          

          If the mold problem was in the basement:

 

Make sure gutters take roof water at least 10 ft. away from exterior foundation

        Seal any foundation or basement floor cracks

Cover dirt crawlspaces with poly

        Run a de-humidifier

 

If the mold problem was in the attic:

          Check the attic roof for leaks after a heavy rain
        Prevent winter ice dams on roof
        Make sure upstairs bathroom is venting outside - not inside attic
        Check attic soffit vents - make sure they are not covered with insulation
        Homes should have roof ridge vents in the attic peak
        If no ridge vents are installed - side vents and 1 or more roof vents are needed
