Buckeye Home highly affected by Black Mold

These are the five basic principles of all successful mold removal and mold remediation projects:

1. Safety – Protect all workers and occupants.

2. Assessment – Make a preliminary assessment, an assessment during mold remediation and an assessment after mold remediation.

3. Contamination Control – Prevent cross-contamination and the spread of mold from contaminated areas to areas absent of or with less contamination.

4. Source Removal – Physically remove the mold at its source.

5. Moisture Removal – Eliminate the moisture problem that caused the mold outbreak.

When we hear people say they want to just take care of it, things to think about are not just money costing items that are avoidable, they are dangerous. If proper containment is not set , it can spread.

Mold clearance test should be performed at the end of the Remediation as well.

Treating mold with bleach will not kill it like you want it too for it to be safe and not grow back.
