Mold Remediation Process

• Containment is set up to isolate the affected area.

• Air Scrubbers are placed and the work environment kept under negative pressure to keep mold from spreading to other areas. Air changes are set at four changes per hour based on industry guidelines.
• If testing is to be performed it will be done prior to any further remediation efforts.
• Depending upon the circumstances, a variety of techniques may be employed such as encapsulation, application of anti-microbial treatments, dry ice blasting, sealing, airless spraying, etc.
• Any materials requiring demolition are removed two feet past any visible mold.
• All areas are vacuumed with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration vacuum cleaners and then wiped down with biocide. All visible mold on existing framing is sanded down to "no stain".
• The entire affected area is then HEPA vacuumed again and retreated with biocide.
• Air Scrubbers are then switched to "scrub mode" and run for 24 to 48 hours. Air Scrubbers are capable of capturing virtually every removable airborne particle.
• The area is then ready for re-inspection and testing by Industrial Hygienist if required.
