MOLD REMEDIATION RESTORATION PROCESS

1. Identify and Remove:
We identify any mold affected areas in your home or business and create a detailed decontamination plan. We contain the affected areas. We then create negative air pressure and a HEPA filter exhaust to the exterior to further avoid cross-contamination. COIT follows industry recognized procedures to safely remove all mold and mold contaminated surfaces. If furniture or other personal belongings have been affected, we may inventory and pack-out those items for off-site cleaning and decontamination.

2. Humidity Control
The next step is to ensure the source of the mold is removed. Mold grows in dark areas where too much moisture is present. Technicians create a detailed drying plan to safely reduce moisture to their predetermined levels. We’ll use dehumidifiers and air movers to continue the drying process until target Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) has been reached.

3. Clean-Up
After the space is dry, technicians use a HEPA vacuum on all surfaces. HEPA vacuums utilize extremely fine filters which can remove even tiny particulates. If necessary, we’ll conduct a complete cleaning and sanitization of the air duct systems. We use sanitizers, disinfectants and anti-microbial products to remove any possibility of residual mold. A final vacuuming of all affected surfaces is done to complete the process.

4. Put Back
After the mold removal, decontamination and cleaning processes are complete and we are ready to restore your home or business to pre-loss conditions. We’ll put back any flooring surfaces, complete painting where necessary and reinstall your furniture.
