Mold Testing & Removal / Remediation
There is a lot of misinformation about mold but we would like to clear some of that up. Mold can be harmful to your health depending on the levels and how much you have been exposed. Mold also affects each person differently. There are some people who have no negative reactions to it while some are extremely sensitive. Mold can cause headaches and respiratory issues depending on your sensitivity. Many people do not seek out mold removal or mold remediation simply because it hasn't affected them health wise. Beyond health, mold can be damaging to the structural integrity of your property as well as significantly devaluing it as well. Just because you do not feel the effects of the mold now, doesn't mean you will not develop any later. So, even if you're unfazed health wise we strongly recommend having the mold remediated properly so that there are no issues long-term.
Mold Remediation - How Do We Do It?
- Inspection & Testing - the first steps are to figure out what kind of mold we are dealing with as each have their own protocol for remediation. We do a complete thorough inspection to determine the scope of work.
- Containment - Once we've identified all of the affected areas we contain those areas using barriers so that we do not spread spores as we're working. We also use air filtration devices to filter the air as we're disturbing the mold spores to keep them contained and remove them.
- Removal - we remove any affected materials such as drywall or fabric. Most wood can be cleaned and sealed using sanding or soda blasting but may need replaced depending on the damage. We also clean the entire area as well as use HEPA vacuuming in the removal process.
- Post Testing - we can provide post-testing to ensure the mold has been properly remediated and removed.
