Mold Remediation Procedures::

1. Containment: We set up a proper containment area to prevent the spreading of mold spores from the contaminated work area to non-target areas. Then, a HEPA-filtered air scrubbing machine is installed to remove airborne mold spores during the mold removal procedures. This is most important when performing basement mold remediation or mold remediation in interior living spaces.
2. Removing the Mold Contaminated Materials: We remove and dispose of all porous, contaminated materials such as sheetrock, wall and ceiling insulation, and carpeting.

   Note: A common place we perform mold remediation-aside from attic ceilings or bathrooms-is basements. Black mold found in a wet basement is frequently the most toxic type we remediate: Stachybotrys. It's typically solid black and requires high moisture levels (like from a flood) to thrive.

   It grows best on cellulose materials that got wet (e.g., sheetrock walls).

   Other common basement molds include Aspergillus and Penicillium. These often appear in damp basements (above 60% humidity) and grow on walls, ceilings, stored items, and floor-level areas. They may look white, grey, charcoal, yellow, or blueish, and although typically of medium toxicity, they can produce harmful mycotoxins when exposure is prolonged.

3. Killing and Cleaning the Mold: Our Mold Remediation Technology is applied by trained technicians who hand-clean the mold using an EPA-registered moldicide/cleaner/sanitizer/disinfectant specifically formulated for mold remediation. We also perform three additional steps many other companies skip.
4. Removing the Mold Stains: We apply a specialized mold stain remover to eliminate deep-set stains. This is particularly important for attic ceiling wood. (See our Attic Mold Page for more.)
5. Fungicide: We treat the wall and ceiling materials with a mineral-based, environmentally friendly solution designed to penetrate deeply into wood, kill the mold roots (hyphae), and prevent regrowth.
6. Sealer: We apply a long-lasting antimicrobial encapsulant. Different sealers are used depending on the area and surface. After sealing, we offer a warranty on the treated materials against future mold regrowth.

   Note: We use a clear antimicrobial sealer 99% of the time. To use this, we must get the treated wood surfaces visibly clean and mold-free. Some companies apply a cheap white sealer to cover a poorly cleaned attic, which begins peeling within a few years. This creates costly redo jobs and a red flag for home inspectors.
