In November 2021, our team at PuroClean of Plymouth Meeting responded to a severe mold removal in North Wales PA at a local large discount retail store. The problem area was a bathroom that had been out of service and was in very rough shape. Unaddressed moisture had allowed mold to grow throughout the vacant bathroom and was out of control.
An environmental company completed a thorough mold inspection with sample analysis. They also set the protocol for treatment. Mold such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys was recorded at extremely high levels in the bathroom. Also, elevated moisture readings were documented in the bathroom and adjacent walls and electrical closets.
Here’s how PuroClean of Plymouth Meeting provided mold removal in North Wales, PA at the retail store.

Our team arrived at the scene quickly, following the initial phone call. Mold-related problems are always sensitive and need to be remediated fast to mitigate health and structural risks. Our first order of business for the mold removal job in North Wales consisted of determining the true extent of mold and the water source that caused it.
Once we identified the water source, we ensured that the problem was not recurring. The next step was to safely remove the mold. For this, we set up negative air containment and installed a HEPA air scrubber. As soon as our crew put on proper PPE, they quickly got to work.
Visible mold was HEPA vacuumed from all surfaces and contaminated sheetrock. Also, the team removed insulation two feet beyond any visible mold growth. The toilet and sink were also removed to allow for proper demolition and complete remediation. Our restoration technicians also damp-wiped and heavily cleaned the remaining non-porous materials.
Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) Fogging was the final step. This process treats air volume and the newly cleaned and exposed surfaces.
All in all, we’re proud of another successful job. We completed the mold removal in North Wales on schedule. The clearance testing passed, and our containment area and equipment were packed up. We restored the indoor air quality, and the bathroom was ready for reconstruction.
