What is the Goal of Mold Remediation?
The underlying principle in mold remediation is cleaning because the source removal is the intended target of the job. You should use a product that contains a surfactant or detergent that will allow for the contamination to be suspended and physical removal to be achieved.
Typically, most products used in mold remediation are hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide-based products and are intended to be used after cleaning has been done in order to lift or remove the stain that is dematiaceous (dark pigmented) molds leave behind. Sampling after cleaning should show acceptable results but the dark staining that is left behind creates concerns for building owners and for many hygienists.
The goal of the remediation contractor should not be to use chemicals to kill mold. Mold spores not capable of living, growing, or developing contain the same toxigenic and/or allergenic properties as their viable counterparts. A vast majority of mold is non-viable to begin with and can be easily demonstrated when comparing a culture plate to a spore trap in which only the viable mold spores will be able to grow on the media in the plate. This growth can be as much as 75% less than what is identified on a spore trap.
Mold may cause infections and serious health issues, but the most common indicators could appear more like allergies or the common cold. Common indicators that you have mold somewhere in your home are recurring headaches, sore throat, and congestion.
Why You Need A Mold Remediation Company
At the very least, removing mold is challenging, requiring specific equipment and specific professional training with certification in order to do the job properly. If mold removal is not treated properly, mold can be toxic and a potential health hazard.

What steps are taken for Mold Remediation?
1) Antimicrobial Application
A first step of corrective action is Antimicrobial application. If your dwelling has had recent water damage, but there is no visible mold growth, we can apply an antimicrobial agent that will prevent mold growth from occurring until the wet area is dried out. Antimicrobials will usually kill existing mold spores if they are present.
2) Source Identification
Mold is often hidden and found in places that have been previously exposed to water or are near a moisture source. These areas are bathrooms, basements, sink cabinets and window sills due to condensation.
Our mold technicians can identify elevated moisture concentrations in residential and commercial structures through the use of state-of-the-art, industry-specific moisture detection equipment and inspection tools such as thermal imaging. This is how we determine the source of the moisture intrusion.
3) Containment
If given the right conditions, mold can spread quickly. After the source of the moisture, intrusion has been repaired, our technicians isolate the contaminated area(s) to eliminate the spread of mold spores to other areas of the property. To minimize the potential effects of cross-contamination to other unaffected areas, containment is critical.
4) Air Filtration
Spores can be disturbed and become airborne during the process of mold removal. Along with the containment, the air needs to be cleaned as well.
Mold spores, dust, microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs), and other airborne debris are removed from the affected area using negative air machines with high-efficiency particulate (HEPA) air filters run continuously throughout the project.
5) Removal and Cleanup
Most of the time, the only effective way to ensure proper mold remediation is to remove affected materials completely and commonly involves drywall, insulation, wood trim, carpet and even furniture.
Our technicians follow S520 industry standards written by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to professionally clean up mold from your home or business.
6) Replacement
Some areas that are contaminated by mold require the removal of affected materials. In these types of situations, we can provide restoration services and repair affected areas with new building materials. At the conclusion, the property will be restored to a pre-loss condition.
