Mold Remediation in Orlando

What is mold remediation?

Mold remediation is necessary after a certified mold assessor has identified the extent of the mold contamination in an area that has experienced flooding, water damage or other moisture issues. Once a mold assessment has taken place, the remediation can occur to remove the contaminated material. This can be an extensive process, and a mold assessment ensures that it will be done properly. After remediation occurs, an independent assessor verifies that the remediation was successful.

Step 1: Mold assessment

The initial stage in detecting potential contamination is a forensic visual inspection. This step evaluates the degree of water damage and mold development within an area. Ventilation systems are examined for damp filters, condensation and overall cleanliness. Drywall, wood, insulation and other cellulose surfaces receive special attention. The outcome of this assessment is vital in determining the appropriate remedial strategy, and it becomes the written protocol your remediator follows.

Step 2: Mold remediation

Once the cause of mold growth is identified, the next step is to contain the affected area to prevent cross contamination and maintain air purity. Cleanup and removal of mold require careful attention, and it is essential to work with a licensed and insured mold remediator. Finally, after cleanup, any unsalvageable material and furniture may need replacement. Trained professionals ensure proper disposal and that best practices are followed.

Step 3: Post-remediation verification

Post-remediation verification is a testing process that takes place after the removal of water-damaged and mold-affected materials. Its purpose is to confirm that the remediation eliminated the growth and restored healthy air quality to the affected area. A certified assessor inspects visually and through air and surface sampling, comparing results to the pre-remediation baseline and outdoor controls. If the results show mold levels have decreased to acceptable levels, the area is cleared for occupancy.
