Mold Remediation.

Mold remediation requires the isolation of contaminated areas, with shared air spaces as the origin of fungal damage. This necessitates the presence of visible spores and microbial growth in the vicinity. Thus, a local barrier "antimicrobial agent" must be co-opted to saturate surfaces in areas containing an anaerobic process to ensure an appropriate extraction of contaminated porous materials. All surfaces in the isolated zone must then be thoroughly vacuumed; this includes the ceilings, ceiling/wall cavities, doors, exposed frames, floors, sub-floors, trims, walls, windows, etc. To ensure a solid cleanup, RMR or an approved mold remover must be utilized during a pressure washer cleaning process. The conclusion involves a dry air purification process using a dehumidifier and a negative air scrubber, with a suggested minimum 3 days of operation to effectively dry and purify the air.

In areas with an exceptionally high spore count and considerable contamination, we use ducts and vents to remove heavy negative air with the aid of negative air scrubbers. This ensures that the air exchange is thoroughly refreshed and clean.

During the mold remediation process, all visibly mold-covered areas should be removed, a comprehensive HEPA-vacuuming, as well as a detailed cleaning of all surfaces, such as ceilings, ceiling/wall members, doorways, exposed frames, sub-flooring, trim, walls, etc., within the infected room, should be completed. We always utilize pressure-cleaning with a disinfectant/mold remover on any affected areas and incorporate industrial dehumidifiers and large negative air scrubbers that replace their filters regularly, culminating in successive treatments with antimicrobial agents.
