Services - Mold Remediation

 

At HealthyAir, we take mold very seriously. Although the presence of mold itself is not always a problem, sustained growth of mold inside your home or office can become a problem. Different molds can produce a variety of symptoms, reactions, and diseases in different people, depending on the mycotoxins produced and the individual's immune system status. For this reason, you may elect to utilize mold testing to determine the exact mold(s) within your home or office.

 

Scope of Remediation

The area of contamination and the extent of the contamination will be used to determine the scope of the remediation. Although testing at the beginning of a remediation process is not mandatory, it is very important to test for mold after remediation is completed. HealthyAir uses air sampling due to its reliability in detecting viable (live) and non-viable (dead) spores. (According to the EPA, dead mold spores are as allergenic as live spores.)

Type of Remediation

There are several different methods used to remediate mold. Depending on the type of mold, amount of active mold colonies, location and general conditions of the area, one or more of the following methods will be recommended:

Fogging the Affected Area

Removal of Affected Material

Cleaning the Affected Material

Encapsulation of Affected Material (After Cleaning)

 

The following steps are taken on each job to ensure the mold is not only remediated, but that the situation allowing mold growth is also corrected:

Source of Moisture (correction and prevention)

Scope of Remediation

Selection of Remediation Personnel

Also included on every job:
