Our team at Remtech Environmental has extensive experience in dealing with mold, so you can turn to us whenever you need help with a mold problem. We offer complete mold remediation services, and you can count on us to eliminate the mold from your home and to take steps to prevent it from coming back. In this article, we will go over some key information you should know about how mold remediation works.
- Inspection – First, our team will inspect your home (or other property) to locate any and all areas affected by mold. Once we have identified the moldy areas, we will create a detailed plan to deal with each one.
- Sealing – The next step in the mold remediation process is to seal off the affected areas. Our team will install plastic sheeting around the mold-affected areas of the building to prevent spores from escaping into the healthy areas as we work. By keeping the spores contained inside these boundaries, we can prevent the mold from spreading or coming back. We will also use HEPA-equipped air filtration devices to clean the air and prevent the migration of mold spores into other areas.
- Removal – After sealing off the affected areas, our mold remediation team will begin the process of removing the moldy materials. Many materials cannot be saved after they become damaged by mold—for example, it’s often impossible to completely eliminate mold from a carpet, upholstery, or other porous materials—so these materials need to be removed and disposed of.
- Disinfection – Another part of the mold remediation process is cleaning and disinfection. While some materials will need to be disposed of, other materials are more resistant to mold damage and can be salvaged as long as they are thoroughly cleaned. Our team will use EPA-listed cleaning agents to eliminate any mold present on these surfaces.
