If the rain over the past few months has brought flooding into your home, you may have mold growing without even noticing it. Mold only takes 24 to 48 hours to start growing in your home and could be hiding where you least expect it. If you start to notice a damp, musty smell in your home, it could be time to schedule a mold test with Environmental Consulting and Contracting Group. If we find mold in your home, the most effective way to get rid of it is through a mold remediation. But what is mold remediation? Let’s take a look at mold testing as well as the remediation process.
Mold Testing
Mold testing begins when you call Environmental Consulting and Contracting Group. Our specialists will collect a sample from the air and surfaces in your home for analysis by an independent lab. If there isn’t any fungus registered in the sample, we will not do anything else. But if there is mold in the sample, the next step is an air quality test. This will help determine the extent of mold in your home as well as the techniques that need to be used to remove it. Before giving you the “all clear,” our team will perform a mold remediation.
Mold Remediation
The Environmental Consulting and Contracting team will assess the size of the mold and moisture problem and will set to work. Our team will contain the mold using physical barriers like plastic sheets as well as air pressure to keep mold spores from leaving the contained area. We will also use air filters to capture the microscopic mold spores in the air. The main stage of the mold remediation was to remove the mold infested materials. Removing the materials will not only remove the mold but will help to prevent new colonies from forming in the area. After remediation, we will help the homeowner to prevent new mold growth by performing a clearance test. This test is done to make certain the mold is gone and the remediation was successful.
