All You Need to Know About Mold Remediation

We’ve all heard of mold removal and the benefits that it can offer to our residential and commercial properties. But, have you heard of its more thorough cousin: mold remediation?

See, most professionals offer mold removal processes to clean households and office spaces. However, if you want to fully get rid of your mold problem, a simple one-off removal process just won’t do. You need to nip the issue at the bud and prevent any dormant spores from developing further into rapidly growing molds. This is what mold remediation does—it is a more comprehensive solution to the age-old problem of molds.

The Process of Remediation

Typically, any moldy area that is less than 10 square feet can easily be treated by the owner. However, if you want a more thorough job, then you should consider hiring experts to do the job for you.

With a comprehensive process, our qualified and licensed contractors will provide a thorough service that you can depend on. We’ve outlined the general process of mold remediation below—keep on reading.

Step 1: Containing the mold issue

When it comes to black mold removal, the first thing that the professionals need to do is to contain and ventilate the area. This is done through various ventilation and air filtration equipment that will kill and get rid of mold spores and developing mold.

The whole process will generally be about scrubbing and sweeping the air for any airborne spores that could worsen the problem.

Step 2: Disinfection of the area

Once airborne spores have been contained, the next step is to get rid of all infected surface areas. If this is not possible, then a thorough cleaning and disinfecting will do. In most cases, this step will require fungicide and mildewcide solutions trusted by your service providers.

Step 3: Finding and fixing the source of the mold

If you truly want to get rid of molds, you need to be able to track it to its source and solve the issue from there. Your contractors will know how to get the job done as recommended by protocol.

In some cases, sub-contractors might be asked to assist with more thorough clean-up and repairs.

Step 4: Containing the issue

At the final stretch of our services, we need to make sure that mold will no longer grow in your location. This is often done by painting over the location of infestation to encapsulate any remainder of the mold.
