Discovering mold in a commercial property can be worrying, but a professional mold remediation company can help assess the situation and remove the mold using proven techniques to benefit your property long-term. Here are some best practices you should expect from mold remediation professionals during the process.
Professionals Understand How Mold Spreads
A mold remediation company will first help you understand the basics of mold growth. You’ll learn that mold releases spores that spread quickly through properties. When spores land on damp spots with organic material present, they can grow into mold colonies. It’s advised to clean and dry any damp or wet building materials and furnishings between one and two days to prevent mold from growing.
They Can Thoroughly Assess the Extent of Mold in the Property
Next, a team of experts can perform a thorough inspection of your property using techniques like air testing, surface sampling, thermal imaging, and visual examination. This helps them gauge how far the mold has spread so they know the proper remediation techniques. With containment barriers, they’ll methodically inspect where mold could grow, like wall cavities or under materials. Their inspection report gives remediation details.
Their Mold Removal Techniques Are Proven to Work
When removing mold, your mold remediation company uses rigorous techniques to meet industry standards. Soft materials with mold, like drywall, get discarded. For solid porous surfaces like wood that could still hold mold below the surface, a team of contractors can treat the material with strong antimicrobial products, killing deeper spores within the material. For non-porous surfaces, disinfectant cleaning removes the mold. Proper techniques ensure mold roots are eliminated.
Verify Mold Is Completely Removed
Once mold removal finishes, a team of mold removal experts should provide verification that the space tests within safe levels for health. They retest surfaces and air samples to detect species of mold and ensure their absence. You may also consider independent testing for extra confirmation your property meets compliance. The remediation company provides clearance documentation stating the levels present.
