PuroClean your first and best choice if you suspect mold contamination. Contact the PuroClean office serving Coastal Georgia and the Low Country.  We provide you all information you need to make an informed decision on the best solution for your concerns and mold problems.
Every mold problem will be addressed individually without the "one size fits all" approach, tailoring the solution that will best suit your needs and your pocket book.
Mold Inspection: PuroClean works with you to help determine the source of the moisture and how to correct the problem. PuroClean uses professional meters to detect moisture levels in the air (humidity) and in the structure. Addressing the moisture issue causing the mold problem is the most important step in the mold remediation process. PuroClean will provide you a detailed line-item mold removal estimate for consideration and possible review with your insurance company.
 
Mold Removal: Upon your acceptance of PuroClean’s mold removal estimate, certified technicians will:
 
•          Contain the affected area(s) and place under negative pressure with HEPA filtration.
•          Remove and/or clean the affected structure and contents as needed (Mold Remediation).
•          Apply an anti-microbial agent to the affected area(s).
•          Professionally dehumidify and dry the affected area(s) as needed.
•          Contact a post-remediation mold testing company to provide a clearance test on our work.
•          Submit a complete job estimate, photos, and invoice directly to your insurance company if applicable.
 
Mold remediation is one of the most misunderstood maladies a home or business owner can face. Despite the fact that mold has been around forever, it has only recently become the focal point of increased claims and litigation, as well as a degree of media sensationalism and consumer angst.
There is no practical way to eliminate all molds and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
DO NOT USE BLEACH
Bleach is not the solution for mold treatment. While bleach will kill live mold, it does not kill mold spores. Additionally, treating mold with bleach and water actually feeds further growth.
Compounding the problem is that mold remediation is a completely unregulated industry. While there are no mandated standards of care for the mold remediation industry, the following government agencies and trade groups have published guidelines for proper remediation procedures. Reputable firms will follow these standards of care to assure your safety and we encourage you to educate yourself on the remediation process:
 New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene

United States Environmental Protection Agency

The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification

Indoor Air Quality Association
 
 Mold Remediation Procedures
When performed correctly, the remediation of any significant amount of mold is a four-step process:
1.      An independent, third-party industrial hygienist should perform initial testing and write a remediation protocol.
2.      A remediation contractor should perform the remediation according to the guidelines set forth in the hygienist’s protocol.
3.      The industrial hygienist should perform clearance testing to ensure that the remediation has been completed satisfactorily.
4.      The affected area can now be rebuilt.
 
Things to remember when choosing a remediation contractor:
Always retain the services of an independent, third-party industrial hygienist.  It is a conflict of interest for any remediation company to tell you that you have mold, perform the remediation, and then tell you the job is done correctly. Even if they send samples out to a laboratory, the results can be biased. An industrial hygienist works for you, not the remediation contractor, and will provide you with unbiased scientific proof that the job is done correctly. Mold spores are too small to be seen with the naked eye. A good remediation contractor like PuroClean knows this and will require that a hygienist be used to ensure that they have performed their duties satisfactorily and that your house is safe.
The goal of mold remediation is NOT to kill the mold; it is to REMOVE the mold and excess spores in the air. Many companies will tell you that their chemical will kill or encapsulate the mold. This does not remove the mold spores. The only way to remove the danger is to remove the mold by air filtration, HEPA vacuuming, wiping, sanding, and soda or dry ice blasting. The application of an anti-microbial is not usually recommended in a protocol because it should not ever be needed. If the mold has been removed, what is there left to treat?  If you choose to use an anti-microbial it does have a residual effect in the prevention of future microbial growth. 
A company that only performs mold remediation has a very large disincentive to tell you that their services are not needed.  The guidelines state that most mold remediation’s can be performed by the homeowner or building maintenance personnel. PuroClean will advise you if this is the case and give you honest opinions and multiple options for the proper handling of your mold infestation.
