After a flood or water damage, there’s a silent problem that can grow—the dreaded black mold. Before any mold removal or mold remediation services can begin, we will look for the source of the mold – any water damage or leak that is causing the problem, and remedy it so that the problem doesn’t come back. This limits further damage and saves time and money down the line. Then the process of drying, dehumidification and mold removal services can begin.
Mold contamination is a proven, serious health risk and immediate removal is key. Effective and Safe Mold Remediation involves many protective measures:
Mold Remediation is much more than just cleaning up the mold. At J&J ERS, we pride ourselves in following the strictest of industry protocols for mold remediation as defined by the Indoor Environmental Standards Organization (IESO) and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).
Proper containment and mold removal services are essential to preventing further spread and contaminating air with mold spores or toxins.
Frequently, the two best senses in determining a mold problem are your eyes and nose. However, some of the most dangerous microbes often flourish in areas behind walls, under insulation, crawlspaces, attics, etc. Assessing a mold contamination through lab testing is a good idea and we recommend you use an environmental specialist or inspection firm.
Determining the cause of your mold infestation is key to preventing reoccurrence and a repeated need for mold removal services. Once the moisture source is identified and controlled, our system of containment, removal techniques and analysis will be vigorously employed. In most cases, a containment area will be established using impermeable plastic barriers and utilizing negative air pressure to contain spores. The HVAC system will be isolated, if necessary.
Proper disposition of the mold is determined by its location and the specific materials it has colonized. Removing the mold includes several options; wet washing, wire brushing and HEPA vacuuming to name a few. In some cases complete removal of infected materials is mandatory (ie., drywall). Once cleaned an area may require the application of biocides, based on written protocol.
Some of the measures that our technicians will undertake to solve your mold issues include:
Often, third-party post-treatment testing is appropriate especially if airborne mold spores were detected in the evaluation phase. Mold mitigation is a very serious business. Mold can grow in cellulose materials, which is found in wood and drywall. Mold usually thrives in humid and moist conditions. It can cause any kind of organic matter in your business or home to decay. Excessive amounts of moisture and mold at your home may present dangerous health concerns. It is important to get the right professionals to carry out the mold remediation process immediately. This ensures the safety and health for you and your entire family.
