Do you suffer any of these chronic allergies or maladies:
sneezing, itchy-runny nose, respiratory irritation, skin rash, headache, sinus congestion, asthma attacks, memory loss, mood changes, etc...?
If so, you may have a mold problem!

Step 3 - Remediation/Clean-up

Remediation is a process with 4 main objectives.

1. Contain the area
2. Kill the mold
3. Clean up
4. Protect

1. Contain the area: The first step is to pinpoint the source of the mold growth and contain it as close to that source as possible. It may be necessary to erect plastic sheeting walls and to create negative air pressure to extract and keep mold spores from spreading to uncontaminated areas.
Next the humidity in the moldy area needs to be reduced to less than 50% to dry out all affected surfaces. Fungicidal treatments will penetrate far deeper into dry surfaces than wet ones.

2. Kill the mold: after the area containment, a Biocidal treatment is applied using a direct solution application and a ULV cold fogger that will atomize the biocide, turning it into droplets of micron size so that it can penetrate into the deepest roots of the mold and kill surface and airborne mold spores.

3. Removal & clean-up: physical mold growth on all porous material must be removed carefully, bagged and disposed of. The standard practice is to cut the moldy material further away from where the visible gorwth is. Non-porous material such as ceramic tiles, counters, glass can be cleaned up using appropriate solutions and methods. All furniture, cloth, personal belongings, carpet or other flooring must be cleaned after remediation.

Effectively killing mold in drywall is virtually impossible. The difficulty isn't necessarily that the surface mold can't be killed, but that dry wall is too porous to effectively kill the mold that has grown into and through the drywall substrate, thereby presenting a hazard. The safest measure will always be to remove the affected drywall, sometimes even up to three feet in all directions from the actual visible growth.

Our technicians will develop a mold remediation plan specific for your needs, ensuring your problem is remedied quickly and effectively.

4. Protection: A clear, protective coating is applied which is designed for treating or incorporating into all porous and nonporous nonfood contact surfaces, including lumber, concrete, stucco, metals, tile, plastic, insulation, coatings, carpet and fabrics washable with water. The molecular construction of this solution consists of sharp "edges" to prevent the spores from binding to that area... thereby preventing their return.
