HEPA Air Filtration and HEPA Vacuuming
The industry standard is anything less than 10 square feet you won’t require the services of a professional.
Anything larger than 10 square feet you will need to hire a mold remediation specialist. Any contractor that does not have the proper certification or insurance could potentially make a small problem into a big one. There are standard protocols that all certified remediators will follow using the iicrcis520 standards. These standards detail the requirements of mold remediation to include the use of proper equipment such as hepa filtration of the vacuums and air handlers, containment of the contaminated work area as needed, the use of fungicides, and the practice of obtaining air samples before and after the remediation.

Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and hepa vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Mold removal is one of the steps of mold remediation, and includes the following: removing mold spores with hepa air filtration and vacuuming removing materials that are no longer salvageable, such as drywall antimicrobial application to remove mold from surfaces applying concentrated hydrogen peroxide to remove mold roots disinfecting and wiping all affected surfaces mold removal alone is not sufficient to permanently solve your problem. If there are still wet areas in your home, mold colonies will grow again. When an inexperienced person disturbs a mold colony during removal, settled mold spores will become airborne, and the contamination will spread. With mold remediation, we address the sources of moisture to prevent regrowth.
We choose to use a third-party mold testing company. While this is not a common practice among all mold removal companies, we find that third-party mold testing allows for an added layer of trust and transparency. Once your home has been restored and all mold has been properly abated, we will also utilize our third-party testing to re-test your home to ensure all mold has been properly removed.
Mold growth is a common problem, a leak or water intrusion can easily result in a mold issue. Mold can be the cause of numerous respiratory ailments, as well as cause extensive property damage. Some individuals may not even be aware of any water damage, but suspect mold growth due to the musty odor that mold gives off. If you have recently experienced any form of water damage or suspect mold, you need to have mold testing and mold inspection completed by a professional testing group like airmd as a first step to determine if remediation and removal is necessary.
Identifying the source of the odor is essential for successful removal. Common sources include: mold and mildew: often found in damp areas, mold emits a musty odor that can permeate your home. Pet odors: accidents or lingering smells from pets can be challenging to eliminate without professional help. Smoke damage: residual smoke from fires or tobacco can cling to surfaces, creating unpleasant odors. Food spoilage: old food or spills can lead to persistent odors in kitchens or dining areas. By pinpointing the source, we can address the issue directly, ensuring a more effective and lasting solution.
