Mold Remediation Process Explained for Residents
Mold isn’t just an unsightly problem—it’s a health hazard that can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and even structural damage to your home. At Regional Environmental Demolition Inc. (R.E.D.), we specialize in safe and thorough mold remediation services across Western New York. Here’s a step-by-step guide to understanding how the mold remediation process works and why it’s essential to rely on trained professionals.
Step 1: Inspection and Assessment
Before any remediation work begins, our certified mold specialists perform a comprehensive inspection of your property. We use moisture meters, infrared cameras, and air quality tests to identify the source and extent of mold contamination.
- Identify visible and hidden mold.
- Assess water intrusion or leaks contributing to the problem.
- Develop a custom remediation plan.
Step 2: Containment of Affected Areas
Preventing mold spores from spreading to unaffected parts of your home is crucial. Our team sets up physical barriers and negative air pressure systems to isolate contaminated areas.
- Use of plastic sheeting and HEPA-filtered negative air machines.
- Reduce cross-contamination risk during removal.
Step 3: Air Filtration
Airborne mold spores can be hazardous to your health. During remediation, we deploy high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration systems to capture microscopic spores and improve indoor air quality.
- HEPA filters remove 99.97% of particles.
- Continuous air scrubbing during the cleanup process.
Step 4: Mold Removal and Cleaning
This is where the bulk of remediation occurs. Our team safely removes contaminated materials such as drywall, insulation, and carpeting, or cleans surfaces with EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions.
- Remove and dispose of irreparably contaminated materials.
- Use specialized cleaning agents to kill and prevent mold growth.
Step 5: Restoration and Prevention
Once the mold is removed, we focus on restoring your home to its pre-damage condition and preventing future mold growth.
- Repair or replace damaged drywall, insulation, and finishes.
- Recommend proper ventilation and moisture control solutions.
- Provide maintenance tips to prevent mold recurrence.
