Mold Removal Michigan
What are the steps in a typical mold removal
remediation project here in Michigan?
1.) Identify the source.
Without first identifying the conditions that encouraged mold growth,
the remediation cannot succeed. Depending on the situation, the
initial inspection is performed by our industrial hygienist and mold
professional.
2.) Identify the extent. Next, it is important to identify the
extent of the mold growth and water damage. Often this involves the
use of moisture meters, thermal imaging and other specialized
equipment. Air quality sampling can also be employed to identify the
extent of the contamination.
3.) Containment. During the mold removal and remediation
process the mold spores will often become disturbed and aerosolized.
This can lead to cross contamination and create a situation much worse
than the original problem. Therefore, Select Restoration uses
specialized techniques to contain the area. Often this involves the
use of HEPA filtration, negative air machines and plastic sheeting.
4.) Removal. After containment is in place, the mold damaged
materials are removed. Often this includes the removal of porous
materials such as sheetrock, upholstered furniture, carpeting,
insulation, etc.
5.) Decontamination. During a mold remediation project there
are often materials that do not require removal. Non-porous or
semi-porous materials such as wood framing, metal, plastic and
concrete can be cleaned in place. HEPA vacuuming, wire brushing,
sanding and other cleaning techniques are utilized to remove all
remaining mold spores from the contaminated area. Often, an
antimicrobial solution is applied to the remaining materials as well.
6.) Clearance Testing. Upon completion of the mold remediation
and removal project a final clearance inspection is performed. This
can range from simply a visual inspection of the area to a full range
of air quality and surface samples. Select Restoration will often work
with a third party inspection company to verify their work.
Our technicians are certified and trained to clean mold properly
without spreadin spores into unaffected areas in your home.
We take the following steps
to ensure the most effective mold removal:
• Personal protective equipment is used to protect our employees
from exposure
• Containment chamber is built and air leaks are blocked to
prevent spores from escaping
• Negative air machine is used to pressurize the chamber and
manage air flow
• Dehumidifier will dry home without spreading spores
• Clean or remove and dispose non-salvageable or contaminated
items
• HEPA vacuum contaminated area and items to remove spores not
seen with the human eye
• Antimicrobial and biocide agents are sprayed to inactivate or
kill any microorganisms
