Exterior Renovation
Removing mold is challenging. It requires specific equipment and very specific training and certification in order to do the job properly. If not treated properly, mold can be toxic and a potential health hazard. These are the steps we follow in removing mold.
• Antimicrobial Application: This is a first step of action. If your home has had recent water damage, but there is no visible mold growth, we can apply an antimicrobial agent that will prevent mold growth from occurring until the wet area is dried out.
• Source Identification: Mold is often found in places that have been exposed to water or are near a water source. Some areas are bathrooms, basements, sink cabinets and window sills.
• Containment: Mold can spread quickly. Once the source of moisture intrusion has been repaired, our technicians isolate the contaminated area(s) to eliminate the spread of mold spores.

We use negative air machines and containment, to prevent cross contamination. We utilize High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor (HEPA) vacuums and air scrubbers. Only true HEPA filters are designed to capture particles as small as mold spores – regular filters are not sufficient and can actually spread spores.
Safety and Repair
Safety is a key element in dealing with mold, we utilize methods to ensure the home owners and workers are protected.
• Air Filtration: During the process of mold removal, spores can be disturbed and become airborne. In conjunction with containment, the air needs to be cleaned as well. Negative air machines with high efficiency particulate (HEPA) air filters run continuously throughout the project.
In most instances, the only effective way to ensure proper mold remediation is to remove affected materials completely. This commonly involves drywall, insulation, wood trim, carpet and even furniture.
• Replacement: As previously indicated, it could be possible that areas contaminated by mold require the removal of affected materials. In situations like this, we can provide restoration services and repair affected areas with new building materials. At the conclusion, the property will be restored to a pre-loss condition.

We follow the basic standards set by the ANSI/IICRC S520 procedural
standard and EPA guidelines, along with our proprietary
EPA-registered disinfectant and fungicide to denature spores right down to their roots.
