Mold Remediation |
Prevention of mold growth indoors is only possible if the factors that may allow it are identified and controlled. When prevention has failed and visible growth has occurred in a home or building, restoration requires:
(a) removal of porous materials showing extensive microbial growth,
(b) physical removal of surface microbial growth on non-pourous materials to typical background levels, and
(c) reduction of moisture to levels that do not support microbial growth.
Identification of the conditions that contributed to microbial proliferation in a home or building is the most important step in remediation. No effective control strategy can be implemented without a clear understanding of the events or building dynamics responsible for microbial growth.
There are four clean-up methods that a mold remediation company will generally use:
Wet Vacuum,
Damp-wipe surfaces,
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum after the material has thoroughly dried, and/or
Discard and replace damaged materials.
