Mold Removal and Remediation
Once you’ve identified mold within your space, the next step is to ensure its effective removal from the home or office. Considering the negative impact of mold, it’s important for you to make sure this mold is removed from the property as quickly as possible. Removing mold safely and completely requires expertise. The remediation of mold is not an easy process and involves multiple steps beyond a simple wipe-down of the affected surfaces. If you call on a California certified mold remediation team to assist with your property, these are some of the steps that may be taken to treat the problem.
Fix Any Moisture-Related Problems First
If you suspect that the cause of your mold related problem is a leak or other water problem, ensure that you fix this first. Mold requires dampness to grow, so if your home or business still has a water leakage problem, it’ll make it very difficult to remove the mold problem.
Isolate Mold Infected Area
In order to avoid any cross-contamination, mold infected areas should be isolated from other areas to prevent the spread of mold spores around the building and spreading contamination.
Remove any Absorbent Materials
Certain items, such as carpet and fabric furniture, contain fibers in which mold can grow; these items, especially porous ones, must be completely removed.
Finally, Remove the Mold
Once highly affected porous materials have been removed, any remaining materials like plywood subfloors and Douglas fir framing can then be cleaned. All visible traces of mold will be removed before applying any antimicrobial or biocide spray to clean the surfaces.
Dry Completely
A thorough drying process will be accomplished using air movers and dehumidifiers, as well as moisture meters to provide an accurate reading as to whether the materials are dry.
Mold removal should not be taken lightly, and it requires great care. California Certified teams always wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles that can be discarded after use to avoid inhaling mold spores and encountering any health problems.
