Don’t you know that moisture
inside your home are the best place for mold occurrence?
Molds are
pervasive, which means it exists anywhere and everywhere. With their huge population,
they can be hazardous to our health, which can lead to serious respiratory
infections and causing allergic reactions.
The only way to get rid of
it is to locate where it mostly grows, so it can go through the process called Mold Remediation.
First
is to locate the moisture.
Molds are likely to appear in
moist areas such as leaky roofs, indoor plumbing problems, floods, or building-maintenance.
Those common building
materials such as drywall, furring
strips, plywood, and carpets
usually the areas to where molds usually occur.
If you suspect that the
heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC)
system may be contaminated with mold, it is part of an identified moisture
problem, for instance, or there is mold near the intake to the system. Do not
run the HVAC system if you know or
suspect that it is contaminated with mold - it could spread mold throughout the
building.
Create
a remediation plan
If you hire a Mold Remediation expert after the
inspection the team will create a documentary, such as photos or videos for them
to create a remediation plan. In this case, the team will know how everything
will be done. It also includes the warranty and the liability of the company.
Calculate
the extent of the contamination
The team should figure out
the extent of the contamination to ensure that all infected areas are
thoroughly treated.
There are guidelines that need
to be followed. These guidelines are commonly used in the construction industry
and recommend six levels of mold remediation based on the square footage of the
molds
MOLD
Remediation Process – The process always includes the cleanup of the
existing molds as well as prevents the new growth without harming the
homeowners and the handyman.
The cleanup process is the
same for Level 1 and Level 2 mold remediation and comprises these steps:
- Repair the water problem
- Isolate the contaminated area.
- Suppress dust.
- Remove materials.
- Place materials in plastic bags.
- Clean
- Clean the affected area and egress.
- Visibility test
- Dry
- Replace.
The
Final Check Up
This where we need the
documentation papers. It will determine if the correct procedure is done.
Compare the photo or the video that has been taken before the process has taken
place. After the remediation process, an environmental testing company will
come (depending on the contractor) or needed to verify that the molds are
completely gone and has been prevented.
Mold Remediation process
cannot be done by an ordinary handyman, if the area cannot be thoroughly
cleaned the mold will keep growing which will compromise your family’s safety.
