PuroClean of Lake Forest will tend to your mold damage and ensure the restoration of your home or business by following a strict process that involves the following:
Depending on the mold damage, we use varying containment levels to prevent mold fragments from spreading to other areas. The containment process includes closing windows and doors leading to different zones, covering HVAC vents, using polyethylene sheeting to seal the space, and maintaining negative pressure with HEPA-filtered fans.
Removing the mold can make the musty smell disappear. But, sometimes, we need to deodorize further.
The affected porous material, such as insulation and ceiling tiles, must be removed during mold remediation. Then, depending on the item and mold severity, we carefully clean the other surfaces using a wet vacuum, damp wipes, or a HEPA vacuum after drying them.
The EPA standard for High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration and vacuuming is HEPA filtration and vacuuming. This equipment filters air and dust, trapping mold and returning clean air to the home or office.
The mold removal experts at PuroClean of Lake Forest begin by restoring the affected area to regular conditions and then shift their attention to mold odor removal. Our professional deodorization techniques will restore your home or business and help avoid recurrences. We work with indoor environmental professionals (IEPs) and laboratories to protect you and your family from potentially dangerous mold situations. We can provide your insurance agent or adjuster with a complete estimate, including photos.
The trained and certified professionals at PuroClean of Lake Forest will respond quickly to your mold remediation needs. We know how frustrating this potential health hazard is for your family or employees. We are committed to ongoing communication and reporting using the most updated equipment. We work diligently to remove mold from your property and belongings and to inhibit mold recurrence.
Construction defects compromise a property’s structural integrity and create the perfect conditions for mold, necessitating mold remediation. A poorly constructed or sealed building can lead to excessive moisture and water leakage, creating an ideal environment for mold to flourish. Cracks in the foundation, incorrectly installed windows, inadequate insulation, and insufficient ventilation can all contribute to water intrusion, enabling mold growth.
Plumbing failures, like leaks or blockages, lead to mold growth in a property. When water from these issues seeps into walls or floors, it creates a perfect environment for mold to thrive. When airborne mold spores collide with the excess moisture, it can result in mold colonies. If plumbing problems are not addressed promptly, mold will take hold and require professional mold remediation.
Malfunctioning appliances, like leaky dishwashers or water heaters, ice maker and washing machine water supply lines, can lead to mold growth on a property. When water seeps into hidden, poorly lit surfaces, such as behind walls, it creates the perfect conditions for mold to develop. That’s why timely maintenance and inspections of your appliances are critical, as their failure can quickly cause mold growth that requires mold remediation services.
Neglecting property maintenance can lead to mold growth. Ignoring leaks, plumbing issues, poor ventilation, or roof drainage concerns can not only lead to mold proliferation, but also be uninsurable. Not performing regular routine maintenance can be a primary reason for insurance companies to deny a claim related to water intrusion.
Roof leaks can cause water to infiltrate your property, potentially causing mold to grow in your home or business. Often, the water will seep into an attic or dark crevice of your roof, enabling mold growth. If the problem is not detected in time, mold can spread, causing structural damage. Mold damage caused by roof leaks requires immediate attention.
Heavy rains, flooding, or excessive moisture caused by storms can create a breeding ground for mold. When water infiltrates homes or buildings, particularly in places where it shouldn’t linger, it sets the stage for mold spores to thrive and multiply. Even after the storm subsides, the moisture in walls, floors, and other structural elements can initiate a silent but potentially damaging mold invasion. Prompt action is necessary to remediate the mold.
Excessive humidity is the ultimate breeding ground for mold growth. When humidity levels exceed 60% RH or higher, especially in enclosed spaces, the air becomes saturated with moisture and result in conditions that can allow mold growth. Areas like bathrooms, basements, crawlspaces, or poorly ventilated rooms are particularly susceptible. High humidity also inhibits proper drying, allowing mold to spread further.
We recommend hiring a professional for mold remediation. When mold is disturbed without using proper techniques, it can spread quickly. PuroClean of Lake Forest removes mold safely and restores your peace of mind. Call us now at (847) 991-1600.
