What Does Mold Removal Service Entail?

Mold remediation, commonly referred to as mold removal, is the act of addressing mold issues that exist within a structure. Whether that be a commercial or residential space, the process is the same. Proper mold remediation will effectively stop mold spreading and keep it contained in isolated areas. Removing affected items and materials, cleaning the mold itself, and eliminating moisture at its source are all part of an effective mold remediation strategy.

Before we start our mold remediation in Sunnyvale, CA, our process for assessing the extent of mold damage, containing mold growth, and removing it at the source includes the following:

Assessment

H&L will dispatch a qualified Sunnyvale mold removal professional to your home, who will identify moldy areas and locate the source of the problem. Next, they will create an action plan to contain the mold.

Containment

Once the moisture source leading to mold growth is determined, the affected area is closed off to avoid contaminating the rest of your home. This is especially important as mold can spread very rapidly during the cleanup and removal process if proper steps are not taken to ensure the correct protocols are in place.

Filtration

Proper filtration is one of the most important steps in the mold removal process. This is why a trained professional should be contacted before you attempt to remove the mold yourself! Mold spores travel very effectively in the air. Proper filtration should be set up to clean the air of mold spores and other particles. This is extremely important to prevent spreading.

Removal

Personal items, furniture, and draperies are all commonly affected by mold growth. Since mold is a living organism capable of embedding itself deeply into materials to survive, we typically must remove anything porous from a home or business to remove all mold. H & L will work diligently to ensure that any items that can be saved are saved. Nonporous materials (desks, picture frames, TV stands) can all be cleaned with our specialized antimicrobial cleaning products. Sometimes, depending on the severity of the mold infestation, a home or business’s HVAC system may need to be cleaned out as well.

Drying

Proper drying is one of the most essential parts of the process to ensure that mold growth does not return. When you work with us for mold removal in Sunnyvale, CA, we’ll go over some moisture management strategies and put a protocol in place to ensure your home doesn’t encounter future mold growth issues.

Repair

Depending on the severity and location of the infestation, some drywall may need to be removed, flooring pulled, or internal walls accessed. Rest assured that H & L will return your home to its pre-loss conditioning during this reconstruction and repair process.

Testing

Following remediation, we search for any signs of recurrent water damage, moldy odors, or visible mold to ensure the cleanup has been successful.

Health Risks Associated with Mold Growth

Mold exposure carries with it many health risks. It is because of the severity of some illnesses associated with mold growth that it is best to have mold remediation conducted as soon as humanly possible.
