Mold Remediation
What is mold?
Mold is a fungus. It's a microorganism that is an essential part of decomposing dead organic material. Mold spores are so tiny that they cannot be seen with the naked eye and are virtually everywhere. Some of this spores create mycotoxins which are toxic to one's health and are the cause for mold-related illness. Older individuals, individuals with pre-existing ailment conditions and young children are more susceptible to health issues associated with mold.
The problem occurs when mold grows indoors. Indoor-mold spores can create a toxic environments which can affect the respiratory system of the individuals who live or work inside of a building where there's mold growth.

Mold Inspection/ Remediation
The first step when dealing with possible mold growth is to have the affected areas tested for mold. Through mold testing we can detect harmful mold species as well as the indoor air quality. Based on the test results a proper scope of work can be created for your specific situation.
After all remediation repairs are completed will further investigate all areas for moisture intrusion and leaks that could result in mold growth returning. By water testing we can pinpoint any areas of intrusion. This will determine the possible auses for the mold growth and a solution to repair the issue. Mold needs a source of moisture to grow. You may have a leaking pipe behind your walls, cracked slab or siding, deteriorated window and roof seals, deteriorated caulking and more. We use state-of-art infra-red cameras and moisture readers to help us identify moisture intrusions. In case of a flood due to natural causes or broken plumbing which causes any standing water-water mitigation will be necessary. Waterproofing techniques may need to be employed.
Once the moisture has been found and eliminated, the next step is to properly isolate any affected area by erecting a containment chamber which isolates the affected area. This will prevent cross-contamination and keep the rest of the property clean of dust and debris. HEPA air-scrubbers will then filter the air within.
All affected walls, ceilings, carpets, insulation, plywood and any other building materials must be removed to expose wall/ceiling cavities and subfloor. After all affected material have been removed from containment, the next step will be to remediate all molds. We wire brush or grind heavily stained framing and use a biocide or chemical agent that attacks mold to thoroughly clean the area. We apply this using Hudson sprayers to spray it directly onto the mold and foggers to make our product airborne and eliminate all spores from the air.
Lastly, we encapsulate all exposed areas with a specialized sealant that has anti-microbial ingredients specifically designed to kill the mold and prevent its growth.
