First steps

What to Do Before Using Mold Remediation Services in 08816

Stop the water if it is safe, avoid disturbing growth and preserve useful records.

Call (844) 352-3560
  1. Stop the water safely. Shut off a leaking fixture or arrange a repair. Do not approach standing water or any wet electrical equipment.
  2. Limit access. If possible, leave the door closed. Children and pets should stay clear of growth you can see.
  3. Avoid spreading particles. Containment is needed before you brush, scrape or sand mold. Stop running HVAC equipment when mold may be inside.
  4. Photograph the damage. Make a record of visible growth, damaged belongings and the leak before anything is moved. Ask the insurer which records it needs.

Health and safety

Mold Removal Safety in Greater New York Properties

Containment is important to keep clean rooms from receiving mold spores and dust when affected materials are disturbed.

Hidden Materials Can Stay Damp

Your insulation, subfloor or framing could still be wet despite a surface appearing dry. Use moisture readings to identify the affected area.

Color Does Not Measure Risk

Toxic mold and black mold are terms used in searches. The CDC says color does not show how risky a mold may be.

Some People Face More Risk

For some people, mold may trigger asthma and allergy symptoms. People with weak immune systems, asthma or lung disease are more at risk, according to the CDC.

Mold Spores Can Spread

Particles can escape when you pull carpet or cut drywall. HEPA filtration with negative air pressure helps restrict movement.

Step by step

Understanding the Mold Remediation Process in Greater New York

Assessment comes first in these mold remediation steps, then containment, damaged material removal, cleaning, drying, work verification and, last, removal of containment.

  1. Mold Inspection and Moisture Mapping

    Locating the moisture source and affected materials involves a moisture meter, supplemented by a thermal imaging camera when useful.

  2. Containment and Air Filtration

    Build your containment barrier using poly sheeting. Clean rooms receive fewer migrating particles with negative air pressure and an air filtration device, the HEPA air scrubber.

  3. Removal of Damaged Materials

    Workers use protective equipment. You may need drywall removal or demolition of other porous materials damaged by mold.

  4. Surface Cleaning and Drying

    Remaining non-porous surfaces are cleaned using damp wiping along with a HEPA vacuum. Air movers, a dehumidifier and moisture readings guide drying.

  5. Final Cleaning and Verification

    Post-remediation verification can involve clearance testing, a visual examination or air sampling, carried out by an independent assessor.
