What Is Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation is typically the removal, cleaning, and disinfecting of mold-contaminated areas such as inside a home. Remediation process entails the use of specialized equipment and methods to ensure complete removal while preventing new growth of mold.

While every mold damage situation varies and demands a unique solution, the mold remediation process remains the same.

• Repair of the water plumbing system. This will help prevent the growth of new mold spores.
• Isolation of mold containment area. This entails sealing off the contaminated area from the other parts of the house. This is done by closing all windows and doors. Other openings are sealed using six mil polyethylene sheeting. The sheeting seams are then sealed using duct tapes.
• Control airborne spores. This is done by misting the contaminated spots.
• Vacuuming of moldy surfaces. While vacuuming, the wet/dry vacuum is kept outside.
• Cleaning and Removal of moldy materials. All wet and mold-contaminated material is discarded in plastic bags to lower the risk of mold spores getting dispersed into the air. Proper cleaning of all non-porous materials is done.
• Spraying and scrubbing of unmovable structure elements. The professionals will then scrub all mold-contaminated surfaces with a damp cloth soaked in a detergent solution. This will help ensure all mold is completely removed.
• Disinfecting and encapsulating surfaces. The cleaned areas are then disinfected using the appropriate products and deodorizing agents to remove and kill any mold left.
• Drying wet materials. All the cleaned materials are then allowed to dry to ensure no moisture is leftover. Some expert mold removal companies will speed up the process using dehumidifiers, fans, or by increasing the indoor air temperature.
• Replace and rebuild. All damaged materials previously removed are then repaired or replaced.

How Long Will It Take?

How long it will take to perform the entire mold remediation process varies depending on various factors. Some of them include the amount of mold present, the part of the house mold is growing, and the type of material with mold-contamination. However, the process can take between one to five days.
