Mold remediation
Address the source. Restore the space. A considered approach to moisture and affected materials.
Overview
What Mold remediation work involves.
Mold remediation is a moisture job first and a cleaning job second. Growth is a symptom; the water feeding it is the cause. Remediation that removes what is visible without fixing the source will look fine for a few weeks and then come back in the same spot.
The work runs source-first: find and stop the moisture, contain the area so spores do not travel through the property, remove material that cannot be cleaned, treat what can, dry the structure, and verify before closing anything back up.
Pro tip
Do not spray bleach on it. Bleach lightens the stain on the surface while leaving the roots in the porous material underneath — and it adds moisture, which is what the mold wanted in the first place.

Our process
How the work runs.
01
Find the source
Moisture readings and inspection to establish where the water is coming from and how far the affected area actually runs.
02
Contain the area
Sheeting and negative air pressure keep spores inside the work zone instead of moving them through the house.
03
Remove and clean
Affected porous material comes out, surfaces are cleaned and treated, and the air is run through HEPA filtration.
04
Dry and verify
The space is dried properly and checked before anything is closed back up.
Insurance
Working with your insurer.
Mold is the most restricted item in most policies. Coverage is commonly capped at a fixed sum, or limited to mold that resulted from a covered water loss that was addressed promptly. Mold from long-term seepage or deferred maintenance is typically excluded outright.
This is why timing matters more here than anywhere else. A water loss reported and dried quickly tends to stay a water claim. The same loss left for weeks becomes a mold problem, and mold problems are where the caps and exclusions live.

Remediation that skips the source is decoration. We fix why it is growing before we deal with what is growing.
