When mold strikes your home or business, it can cause not only structural damage but also significant health risks. Mold remediation is an essential service that goes beyond simple mold removal. It involves identifying the source of the moisture that’s causing the mold growth, addressing the root problem, and safely removing the mold to prevent future issues. At PuroClean of East Orlando, we take a comprehensive approach to mold remediation, ensuring that your property is restored to a safe and healthy condition.
1. Thorough Mold Inspection
The first step in our mold remediation process is conducting a thorough inspection of your property. Our certified technicians use advanced technology, such as infrared cameras and moisture meters, to locate hidden moisture and mold growth. Mold often hides behind walls, under flooring, or in other hard-to-see places, so a surface-level inspection isn’t enough to address the issue. Once we identify the affected areas, we develop a customized remediation plan to eliminate the mold and prevent it from returning.
2. Containing the Mold
One of the most critical aspects of mold remediation is containing the mold to prevent it from spreading to other parts of the building. Our team uses advanced containment methods, such as physical barriers and negative air pressure, to isolate the affected area. This helps ensure that mold spores don’t travel to other areas during the remediation process.
3. Air Filtration
Mold spores can be airborne, which is why air filtration is an essential part of mold remediation. At PuroClean of East Orlando, we use HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters to remove mold spores from the air. This helps improve the air quality inside your property and reduces the risk of inhaling mold spores, which can cause respiratory issues and other health problems.
4. Mold Removal
Once the mold is contained and the air is filtered, we begin the process of physically removing the mold. This may involve removing contaminated building materials, such as drywall, insulation, or flooring, depending on the extent of the mold growth. Our technicians are trained in safe and effective mold removal techniques to ensure that the mold is completely eradicated.
5. Addressing the Source of Moisture
To prevent mold from returning, it’s crucial to address the source of the moisture that caused the mold in the first place. Whether it’s a leaky pipe, poor ventilation, or high humidity levels, we work with you to identify and fix the underlying issue. In some cases, we may recommend additional services, such as water damage restoration or HVAC maintenance, to fully address the moisture problem.
6. Restoring Your Property
After the mold has been removed and the moisture problem addressed, we restore your property to its pre-loss condition. This may involve repairing or replacing damaged building materials, cleaning affected areas, and applying antimicrobial treatments to prevent future mold growth. Our goal is to make your property safe and comfortable once again.
