Mold Remediation Part II

          When treating a water loss timing is key. We need to get the house dry as soon as possible to make sure that mold doesn’t grow. We will find the point of origin and then locate all of the affected area. Then we will remove porous materials if the water is dirty. After that we use laser measurments to determin how much dehumidification and air movers are necessary to thouroughly dry the property. After that we will spray the affected area down with EPA registered anti microbrial to make sure that mold will not grow (secondary damage) after we leave. If we do all of these steps then the property is safe and is ready for reconstruction.

          When showing up to a mold job it is a little different. We first have to locate all of the affected area. Then we will block off the affected area and make sure that the contaminated area cannot leave into other areas of the property. After that we bring in an airscurbber. Air scrubbers are a machine that has multipler filters inside of it including a HEPA filter. HEPA filters take out 99.97% of particulates out of the air. They are the only filter that are capable of doing this in the market. An air scrubber sucks in the air and then pushes it through the filters inside it and then blows it out the other end. We use laser measurements to determine how much air scrubbing is necessary for the affected area. Then we begin to use HEPA vaccumes on the walls and floors and ceilings to start removing the mold spores. After that we will clean the walls, floors and ceilings. Lastly, if this is not working then we will begin to remove the contaminated pieces and safely remove them. Take a look at Part III for more information!
