Mold Remediation

Mold Remediation is a specialized process that should always be handled by a trained professional

Mold spores are very common and are routinely encountered in the everyday flow of life. While mold spores are common, they are also dangerous when they begin to colonize in a confined space. When conditions are right, mold can begin to colonize and grow to dangerous levels in as little as 48 hours! Whether it's the result of major flooding or leaky plumbing, mold will form if the moisture is not removed in 48-72 hours. Mold remediation is a multi step process that begins with identifying and fixing the source of persistent moisture. Additionally, all effected areas must be treated by special cleaning agents or removed and replaced to completely eliminate the mold infestation. This is a very dangerous and specialized process that should always be handled by a trained professional.

Here are some Important Tips  to consider with a mold infestation

Bleach is not sufficient to kill mold

Mold cannot be killed by bleach alone and must be physically removed from the structure to ensure that it has been completely eradicated 

Wear protective gear

Whenever entering the infected structure, always wear protective gear to prevent inhalation of mold spores and other bodily reactions to contact with mold

HEPA filters are required for mold removal

In order to completely remove mold spores that may be floating in the air, the use of a specially designed HEPA filter is required.  Depending on the severity of the infestation, several filtering systems may be necessary

Open windows and doors

Most bathroom mold is caused by poor ventilation and can be helped by leaving windows and doors open whenever possible.  Additionally, consider remodeling the bathroom to improve ventilation

Mold is associated with several health risks

Mold has been clinically documented to pose serious health risks, particularly for those who already suffer from respiratory issues.  Therefore, it is important to address mold infestations as quickly as possible

Professional cleaning of the HVAC System

In some cases, to prevent recirculation of mold spores, your HVAC system may need to be professionally cleaned.  This should be evaluated by a professional technician to determine the appropriateness of this step

Make a Thorough Inventory List

Make a thorough inventory of all items in the home that are contaminated with mold and will need to be replaced.  It is important to document all items listed with pictures for verification

Special Cleaning Procedures are required

Do not attempt to clean walls, furniture, or floors with bleach, as mold remediation requires a very specific procedure and professional training to ensure complete remediation
