Solving Mold Contamination Problems requires four steps —

FIND TOXIC MOLD LOCATIONS — Visual inspections can confirm some problems but not hidden mold. Air sampling provides a general location and requires tearing into walls, pulling carpet or other destructive measures to find the source. Imagine ripping out entire sections of your property to find a small area of mold contamination! Canine mold inspections pinpoint the mold source without damaging your property. With the mold sources are located an action plan may be developed to remedy the problem. We provide the services that find mold problems quickly, efficiently and without causing property damage in the process.

ELIMINATE MOISTURE PROBLEMS — Mold requires moisture to grow and multiply. It is important to eliminate moisture causes and to keep areas dry. Sudden water damage should be cleaned-up and the area dried within 24-48 hours to minimize mold problems. Moisture control problems can typically be resolved with proper sealing, insulation or improved ventilation. In extreme cases waterproofing or mechanical environmental controls may be necessary.

ERADICATE MOLD CONTAMINATION — Mold contamination requires a methodical process to fully solve the problem. There are Mold Removal Websites that address this in greater detail however part of your solution should include thoroughly cleaning all hard surfaces with a mold killing agent, removal and discarding of porous materials which cannot be scrubbed. (Clothes can be cleaned whereas drywall or insulation may need to be replaced.)

USE PREVENTATIVE MEASURES — The steps listed above in eliminating moisture problems will generally prevent the return of mold problems. Property owners should always be alert for moisture problems and be aware of the potential for new toxic black mold contamination. Using Dehumidifiers and Air Purifiers may also help.
