From Leaky Pipes to Mold Growth Gripes: Conquering a 2-Year-Old Infestation in Allen

Mold growth can often go unnoticed in hidden areas and continue to grow for years. However, ignoring the possibility of mold growth can create a false sense of security. It is crucial to be aware of the signs of mold growth, particularly if your property has suffered water damage. 

The Mold Growth Predicament

A homeowner in Allen recently contacted us after discovering mold growth in her home. She found us through Google. The mold had developed due to a leak that occurred two years ago. If water damage is not treated effectively and in a timely manner, it can lead to mold growth and further damage.

When we arrived at the scene, our IICRC-certified technicians thoroughly inspected the affected areas to determine the scope of our work. Subsequently, we advised the homeowner to engage a mold consultant to draft a protocol for the remediation process. Given the specific regulations and protocols governing mold removal in Texas, we awaited further instructions from the mold consultant before proceeding.

Contaminated materials, including tile and drywall, had to be removed before we began the decontamination process.

The Mold Remediation Process

When we received the protocol from the mold consultant, our team began our work. The initial step involved containing the affected area to prevent any potential cross-contamination. Following the containment, we used high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration devices to eliminate airborne mold spores. Then, we removed compromised materials, such as drywall and tile, from the bathroom and other affected rooms.

We closed off the contaminated area of the home to avoid cross-contamination.

With the help of our state-of-the-art equipment, including HEPA air filter devices and vacuums, we meticulously eliminated any residual mold spores. Following the thorough vacuuming process, our crew concluded the mold remediation task by meticulously cleaning all surfaces with an EPA-registered disinfectant. This disinfectant treatment was complemented by a final round of HEPA vacuuming across all surfaces. Our attention to detail meant we left no stone unturned.

HEPA air filters and vacuums were used to remove additional mold spores.

Not too long ago, we received the gratifying news of passing the clearance testing conducted by the third-party mold consultant. Our client was very satisfied with our efficiency and effectiveness in managing the mold remediation job. We understand firsthand the stress and worry mold growth can cause, so we were happy to alleviate her concern. Kudos on the outstanding work, team!
