If you have found mold in your home or business, you might be tempted to freak out. It’s understandable to worry about this situation since it can be a big deal, but we at AdvantaClean of Cabarrus and Rowan Counties encourage you to remain calm and give us a call. Our team has extensive experience in mold remediation, and you can count on us to completely remove the mold from your home or business. In this article, we’ll go over some key information you should know about mold remediation so you can know what to expect from the process.
- Containment – Once our team has identified all the areas of mold in your home or business, we’ll then proceed with the first step of the mold remediation process, which is to seal off the infested areas. We’ll install plastic sheeting around the infested areas to prevent mold spores from escaping while we work. We’ll also install ventilation and air purification systems as an additional precaution against mold spreading.
- Removal and Cleaning – The next steps in mold remediation are the removal of damaged materials and the cleaning of everything left intact. Some materials are too saturated with mold spores to be saved or too difficult to sanitize properly, so they will need to be disposed of. However, some items and materials can be saved if they are cleaned thoroughly, and our team will make every effort to salvage as much as possible.
- Clean-Up and Disposal – The final steps in mold remediation are to thoroughly scrub every surface in the affected areas to eliminate any remaining spores, and then to dispose of the damaged materials.
