Black Mold Removal

Mold growth can occur on most common building surfaces such as sheetrock, wood, carpet, linoleum floor or on any organic material. Bathrooms, basements, areas around windows where moisture condenses, and near leaky water sources or sinks are also common mold growth areas. Growth can begin within 48 hours after the ideal moisture content has been achieved.

Mold often develops in homes due to water leaks or damage. To effectively combat mold growth, it's essential to address the underlying source of moisture, such as poor ventilation, leaking gutters, or plumbing issues. Failing to fix these root causes can lead to recurring mold and significant structural damage. Protect your family's health and your property by hiring a professional mold remediation company to handle both the mold and its moisture sources.

Mold Remediation Steps

• Assessment of the affected areas. A mold remediation expert evaluates your property, conducting a thorough mold inspection and moisture survey with moisture meters / thermal cameras to determine the extent and level of contamination.
• Planning a course of action with the property owner.
• Set up a containment barrier to prevent cross-contamination to unaffected areas.
  
  

• Set up negative air machines/ air scrubbers in order to control and capture the contaminated air and produce clean and non-contaminated air.
• Set up special drying equipment such as dehumidifiers to reduce the humidity levels and dry the structure.
• Porous, mold-infected items are removed and disposed of, while non-porous items receive biocide treatment. This ensures thorough cleaning and prevents future mold growth.

• Initially, biocide is applied to kill mold spores, followed by a deep clean using HEPA vacuums to remove all residues and prepare surfaces for protective treatments. Following this, mold fogging is implemented — a process where an antimicrobial mist is dispersed to penetrate hard-to-reach areas, ensuring thorough mold spore eradication and preventing future growth.
• Sanitizing and disinfecting of the entire containment area.
• Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
• Reconstruction and Restoration:  Once cleared, reconstruction begins with new materials replacing those removed, possibly involving updates to plumbing, electrical systems, and insulation. Hiring a full-service restoration company like WeDry USA simplifies this entire process.
