Before we start any mold removal work, it's essential to take safety precautions. We wear protective gear, including an N95 respirator mask, gloves, goggles, and disposable coveralls, to minimize our exposure to mold spores.

We locate and address the source of moisture that is promoting mold growth. This may involve repairing leaks, improving ventilation, or addressing other issues causing excess humidity.

To prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas, we seal off the contaminated area with plastic sheeting and tape. We create a containment barrier to isolate the workspace.

We ensure proper ventilation in the work area by using fans and opening windows, if possible. This helps to reduce the concentration of airborne mold spores.

Depending on the extent of the mold infestation, there are several methods we use for removing mold:

• Scrubbing: We use a detergent solution and a scrub brush to clean mold off non-porous surfaces. We avoid using bleach, as it doesn't prevent mold recurrence.
• HEPA Vacuuming: We use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum cleaner to remove loose mold spores from surfaces and the surrounding air.
• Removal of Porous Materials: In some cases, porous materials like drywall, insulation, or carpeting may need to be removed and replaced if they are heavily contaminated with mold.
• Professional Remediation: For extensive mold infestations or if the mold has infiltrated the HVAC system, it's advisable to hire certified mold remediation professionals.

We properly dispose of contaminated materials in sealed plastic bags, following local regulations for disposing of mold-infested materials.

We thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected area using a biocide or antimicrobial solution to kill any remaining mold spores and inhibit future growth.

To prevent future mold growth, we advise addressing any moisture issues promptly, maintaining good ventilation, and considering using mold-resistant building materials in susceptible areas.
