The Mold Remediation Process
1/22/2018 (Permalink)
First and foremost, the moisture source of the mold growth must be eliminated or fixed before cleaning can begin. If you notice a water leak, please contact a plumber immediately.
Mold remediation can simplified into three steps:
- Control Environment-Set up containment, air filtration equipment and negative air flow to control environment and prevent further contamination.
- Remove and Clean- Remove and properly dispose of all porous materials contaminated with mold. Clean all nonporous materials contaminated with mold, HEPA vacuum, and apply anti-microbial agent.
- Dry Structure- Dry structure to reduce moisture levels below that which enables growth. Obtain final clearance testing from Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP).
