Mold Removal & Remediation in Federal Way, WA

Mold can develop when materials are allowed to remain wet for extended periods of time. There are a variety of reasons the moisture intrusion can happen including but not limited to:

• Construction defects
• Plumbing failures
• Appliance water line or drain line breaks
• Improper maintenance
• Weather-related issues including storms and hurricanes

When mold damage is discovered in your home or business, the most critical course of action is to have it remediated as quickly as possible and ensure structural materials remaining are dried as quickly as possible.

PuroClean’s IICRC certified technicians follow industry standards to remediate mold that has infected and or damaged property the right way. Our goal is to return your home or business to a pre-loss condition by taking the following steps.

1. Establish a scope of remediation and repair by thoroughly inspecting the affected area/s.
2. Implement engineering controls and containment to prevent cross-contamination of unaffected areas of the building by utilizing negative pressures with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) air filtration devices.
3. Develop a remediation protocol to remove contaminates by:
   • Removing compromised materials and contents per industry standards.
   • Thoroughly clean the air by using HEPA air filters devices and HEPA vacuums.
   • Thoroughly clean all surfaces with cleaning solutions that may include EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registered disinfectants, followed HEPA vacuuming all surfaces again. Once remediation is complete, it is recommended to have a Certified Industrial Hygienist complete a 3rd part clearance test to ensure the building is safe for occupancy. A good source to find a CIH is through ACGIH.org website.

PuroClean of NE Tacoma will tend to your mold damage and ensure the restoration of your home or business by following a strict process that involves the following:

Total Mold Removal in Northeast Tacoma:

1. We conduct a mold assessment by carefully inspecting your property for signs of mold. Then, we will perform a complete mold removal, thoroughly removing the mold from the site.
2. After removing all mold, we deodorize the site by cleaning and sanitizing the structure, fixtures, and contents.
3. We will then use HEPA filtration and HEPA vacuuming equipment to evaporate water and eliminate moisture. 

Containment in Affected Area(s)

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.

Deodorization

Removing the mold can make the musty smell disappear. But, sometimes, we need to deodorize further.

Cleaning & Sanitation of Structure, Fixtures & Contents

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.

HEPA Air Filtration and HEPA Vacuuming

High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration and vacuuming are the EPA standards. This equipment allows air and dust to be filtered through, trapping mold in the filter and returning clean air to the home or office.
