Mold removal is an integral part of the water damage restoration process.

Our Mold Remediation Process

Step 1: Find the source

Mold removal can’t really begin until you first find the source of the water that’s causing the black mold to grow. Black mold could be growing in places you’re not checking often, such as the corners of the bathroom and near the ceiling. Some water damage can be obvious, like when it comes from flooding due to storms, but in places like the bathroom, it can be harder to spot when coming from inside the building. Make sure to check for any leaky pipes or faucets. You can also test an area for moisture using a moisture meter.

Step 2: Seal off the damaged area

Make sure the area that’s been affected by mold is secure before you begin any work. Seal the room you’re working in off from the rest of the building by covering the door and the air ducts in the room with plastic and tape. If the area isn’t currently wet, spray it with water to reduce the number of spores in the air before beginning mold removal.

Step 3: Clean and disinfect the damaged area

You can then begin to clean off any mold you can see on the surface. Start by spraying the area with an all-natural or commercially bought disinfectant spray and wait 30 minutes to an hour to begin the cleanup. Then, use a sponge to scrub off the mold and repeat the process until the surface is completely free of mold. Clean thoroughly so there’s less of a chance of any mold growing back.

Step 4: Remove the debris for effective black mold removal

For any surfaces affected by black mold that can’t be completely cleaned, they may need to be removed entirely. Sometimes the damage can be more than surface deep and certain fixtures, such as carpeting or anything porous, can be nearly impossible to clean entirely. Any leftover debris should be properly sealed in garbage bags before the room is unsealed and then disposed of in an authorized location.
