Our Process
Using infrared imaging and moisture meters, we identified moisture-saturated areas behind the drywall. An air quality test confirmed elevated mold spore levels.
Inspection & Testing
We installed a full containment system with negative air pressure and HEPA filtration to isolate the workspace from clean areas of the home.
Containment Setup
Contaminated drywall, insulation, and trim were removed and sealed in double containment bags for EPA-approved disposal. We cleaned the structure with HEPA vacuums and eco-friendly antimicrobial agents to eliminate all remaining spores.
Safe Removal & Cleaning
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers were installed to dry the area completely. Once moisture levels were stabilized, our reconstruction team replaced drywall, repainted, and finished with clean mold-resistant materials.
Drying & Restoration
Post-remediation air samples confirmed that spore levels had returned to safe residential standards. The family could safely move back in.
Verification & Final Testing
✅ 100% mold removal verified by lab testing
✅ Indoor air quality restored to healthy levels
✅ Fresh, odor-free, and fully restored interior
✅ Preventive ventilation and moisture-control recommendations provided
Results
Challenges
-
Hidden moisture trapped behind walls from a slow plumbing leak.
-
Mold growth spreading through insulation and baseboards.
-
Risk of air contamination due to poor ventilation.
We knew this project demanded precise containment and safe removal procedures to prevent mold spores from spreading through the rest of the home.
