The Complete Guide to the Mold Remediation Process
When water damages your home, there is an immediate concern for restoration. Whether by flood, water damage from a fire, or a burst water pipe, water creates mold growth, and it must be dealt with at the onset of damage.
The mold growth associated with water damage is known as black mold, or Stachybotrys chart arum. It is harmful if the spores are inhaled, can cause headaches, skin rashes, breathing difficulties, and worse. This explains the urgency of the water damage/mold growth problem. Shrock Restoration can provide that immediate response you need, and here’s how.
- Shrock professionals will assess the damage and provide you with an estimate for the insurance company. They will get to work separating the damaged area to ensure no further spreading of the spores occurs.
- Our team will arrive in protective suits and masks to protect themselves from the harmful mold spores.
- Shrock’s expert restoration crew will begin removing the damaged materials by EPA standards. These materials may include insulation, drywall, floorboards, and carpeting. The damaged materials will be sealed up, sprayed for residual spores, and disposed of properly.
- Any damaged building components not able to be removed will be thoroughly cleaned with special equipment and a cleaning solution to eliminate the growth of the mold.
- Expert care is given to salvageable items off site. These items are completely dried, cleaned, and sanitized in a controlled environment.
- The damaged building area is often sprayed with a mold resistant chemical and allowed to sit overnight. This eliminates any left-over spores.
- Shrock provides state of the art equipment and drying methods to entirely dry your facility. Humidity levels are checked often to ensure the space has healthy humidity.
- Finally, the area is ready for inspection to guarantee the area is completely void of any mold, spores, or moisture. Air samples are tested for mold spores and if clear, reconstruction is ready to begin.
