Mold Remediation is by far the most important mold removal and mold prevention service that is available to our customers. With increased cases in asthma and other health problems, you don't just want mold removed! In fact, cleaning even a small area of mildew or mold growth can create an airborne mold issue within your home or workplace. To prevent the spread of mold, it is in your best interest to hire a certified mold remediation company that specializes in this line of work.

Our mold removal process involves using black mold removal products within a contained area to prevent mold spores from traveling throughtout the rest of your home. We use mold removal equipment to ensure that all debris is filtered through our HEPA machinery and then ducted out of a nearby window, if available. We refer to this type of equipment as negative air machinery. Our air scrubbing equipment uses the same HEPA filters that are proven to filter mold spores and other airborne micro-organisms up to 99.9%. These air scrubbers are generally set up outside of the containment area and are used to filter the air outside of the contained area.

A typical mold remediation project will go through the following steps:

* Set up Containment around areas showing signs of water damage, visible mold, or known areas hiding mold growth.
* Set up and achieve negative air pressure to filter airborne debris.
* Remove affected areas including drywall (sheet rock), ceilings, vanities, or any other sections that were planned for removal. Further affected areas beyond the scope of work is immediately brought to the attention of the home owner to discuss revising the scope of work.
* Once the demolition is complete, EnviroPro water and mold technicians begin the cleaning process. This involves cleaning everything within the containment area with a mold removal chemical.
* The final step in the remediation process is to have an EnviroPro technician fog a hospital-grade disinfectant throughout the work area. This ensures that all aspects of the mold remediation process were covered.
