TOP-RATED MOLD INSPECTION, TESTING & REMEDIATION EXPERTS SERVING WILTON MANORS, FLORIDA

The mold removal process begins with a professional inspection. A certified mold specialist will assess the affected areas, identify the source of moisture that's fueling the mold growth, and determine the type and extent of contamination. This inspection may involve moisture meters, infrared cameras, or air sampling to detect hidden mold behind walls or HVAC systems.

Once the problem is identified, the next step is containment. This is done to prevent mold spores from spreading to clean parts of the building. Containment typically involves sealing off the work area with plastic sheeting and using negative air pressure machines and HEPA air scrubbers to capture airborne spores.

With the area sealed, technicians begin the actual mold removal. Non-salvageable materials, such as drywall, insulation, or carpeting that are heavily infested with mold, are carefully removed and disposed of. Surfaces that can be saved, such as wood framing or concrete, are cleaned using HEPA vacuums, antimicrobial solutions, and, in some cases, an abrasive method.

After cleaning, the area is thoroughly dried using dehumidifiers and HEPA-filtered air scrubbers to remove all moisture and mold spores, as lingering dampness can cause mold to return. Professionals continuously monitor moisture levels to ensure the space is fully dry.

The final step is post-remediation verification, including air quality tests, surface sampling, and visual inspections to ensure all mold is removed and moisture issues resolved. We also provide recommendations like improving ventilation, repairing leaks, and using mold-resistant materials to prevent future problems.

Next, the wall structure is rebuilt. This may involve replacing damaged framing if it was compromised by moisture or mold. Once the frame is sound, new drywall and insulation are installed, taped, and finished with joint compound to create a smooth surface. After sanding and priming, the wall is ready to be painted or refinished to match the surrounding area.
