Mold Remediation Involves Dryers to Remove Water

Six Steps To Mold Remediation

In Palm Coast, mold damage cannot only appear with little to no warning, but it can also spread quickly through your home or business. This is why it is so important for residents to have a clear understanding of the mold remediation process. Although mold damage scenarios are different, the overall mold remediation process is the same. Here is a quick look at the steps.

STEP 1: THE INITIAL CONTACT

This begins when you notice what you believe to be mold growing in your home. First, you call us at (386) 447-2202. To determine what personnel, equipment, and resources are needed, our representatives will likely ask you a series of questions before scheduling a time for an inspection.

STEP 2: THE INSPECTION AND ASSESSMENT

Our technician arrives and immediately gets to work determining the scope of the Palm Coast mold damage. In addition to inspecting for visible signs of mold, he or she will use various technologies to identify where mold may be hiding, such as in sheetrock, under carpeting, and in cabinets.

STEP 3: CONTAINING THE MOLD

To prevent the mold from spreading further, our technicians will turn to a variety of instruments designed to contain the mold. They may include using negative air pressure or setting up a physical barrier. Also, they will likely turn off fans and cooling systems that facilitate the spread of mold.

STEP 4: AIR FILTRATION

Using our powerful HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers, along with other specialized filtration equipment, our technicians will work to capture any microscopic mold spores that enter the air during the remediation process.

STEP 5: GETTING RID OF THE MOLD

Depending on the amount and what surfaces the mold is found on, our technicians will use antimicrobial and antifungal treatments to eradicate existing mold colonies and inhibit the growth of new ones. This may require the removal of carpeting or drywall if it is especially infested with mold.

STEP 6: CLEANING UP AND RESTORATION

Our technicians will clean and disinfect any items affected by mold, including curtains, furniture, and more, using proven cleaning techniques. They will also provide deodorization to eliminate any odors. Finally, any necessary repairs will be made, such as replacing carpeting, painting, or anything else needed to get your home back to normal.
