MOLD INSPECTION, TESTING & REMEDIATION EXPERTS IN HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA

The first step in mold removal is a detailed inspection conducted by a certified expert. This involves evaluating mold-affected areas, pinpointing moisture sources, and assessing the extent and type of contamination. Equipment like moisture meters, thermal imaging, and air sampling is used to detect mold that may be concealed behind walls or inside ventilation systems.

Once the mold source is located, containment measures are implemented to prevent spores from spreading to clean sections of the property. This process involves isolating the affected area with plastic sheeting and employing negative air pressure and integration of UVC light and HEPA air scrubbers to trap airborne contaminants..

After sealing off the affected area, our technicians begin removing mold. Items severely affected by mold, including drywall, insulation, and carpeting, are carefully taken out and disposed of. Surfaces that remain intact, such as wood or concrete, are cleaned with HEPA vacuums and antimicrobial solutions, and occasionally with abrasive methods like sanding or dry ice blasting, depending on the severity of the damage.

After the cleaning phase, it’s essential to dry the area thoroughly. Using dehumidifiers and air movers, all moisture is removed to prevent mold from reappearing. Professionals continuously track moisture levels during drying to confirm the environment is thoroughly dried out..

Post-remediation verification is the final step and may involve air and surface testing, as well as a visual inspection, to confirm the complete removal of mold and resolution of moisture issues. At this point, we offer advice on preventing mold recurrence through improved ventilation, leak repairs, and the selection of mold-resistant building materials.

Following remediation, the wall is rebuilt. Any compromised framing due to mold or moisture is replaced. New drywall and insulation are then installed, taped, and coated with joint compound for a smooth finish. Once sanded and primed, the wall is prepared for painting or refinishing to match the existing décor.
