CONTAINMENT OF THE AFFECTED AREA
It is critical to ensure that mold does not spread to unaffected areas of your property. Mold remediation experts will inspect the site and determine the best plan for containing the mold before drying, cleaning, and mold removal.
MOLD REMEDIATION
Following industry standards your contractor of choice uses the latest equipment and proven techniques to safely remove mold from your home or office. First, they find the moisture source, eliminate it, and then provide mold odor removal. Mold needs moisture to grow so if there is a mold there is most likely water damage somewhere.
HEPA FILTRATION & HEPA VACUUMING
We use HEPA filtration and vacuuming to remove dust, purify the air, and clean non-porous materials. Once completed, affected materials are specially sealed in plastic bags and safely discarded, leaving your home or business the way it was before the unexpected event.
ONGOING COMMUNICATION
Your insurance and contractor should be on the same page during each step of the mold remediation process. Therefore, they will document everything to help to put your mind at ease throughout the entire process.

- After all the mold is removed, the site will be deodorized. Deodorization includes cleaning and sanitizing the structure, fixtures, and contents.
- They will then use HEPA Air Filtration and HEPA Vacuuming equipment to evaporate water and eliminate moisture.
Containment in Affected Area(s)
Depending on the amount of mold damage, varying levels of containment will be used to prevent mold spores from spreading to other areas. The containment process includes closing windows and doors to other areas, covering HVAC vents, using polyethylene sheeting to seal the area, and maintaining negative pressure with HEPA-filtered fans.
Deodorization
Removing the mold usually makes the musty smell disappear. But, sometimes, we need to deodorize further.
Cleaning & Sanitation of Structure, Fixtures & Contents
The affected porous material, such as insulation and ceiling tiles, must be removed during mold remediation. Then, depending on the item and mold severity, they should carefully clean the other surfaces using a wet vacuum, damp wipes, or a HEPA vacuum after drying them.
HEPA Air Filtration and HEPA Vacuuming
High-Efficiency Particulate Air, or HEPA, filtration and vacuuming, is the EPA standard. This equipment allows air and dust to be filtered through, trapping mold in the filter, returning clean air to the home or office.
THE PROCESS
Mold removal experts begin by restoring the affected area to normal conditions and then shift their attention to mold odor removal. Professional deodorization techniques will restore your home or business and help avoid recurrences. An indoor environmental professional (IEPs) and laboratories should be used to protect you and your family from potentially dangerous mold situations. The contractor should provide your insurance agent or adjuster with a complete estimate, including photos.
