Mold Removal in McLean, VA for an Expecting Couple

Last month, PuroClean of Alexandria provided mold removal services in McLean, Virginia. The customers were a young couple, both with government jobs. We made it our priority to get there as soon as possible because the situation was time-sensitive.

What made the situation more urgent is that the wife was 6-months pregnant! Thus, cleaning up the mold growth was crucial to prevent potential health risks. Mold exposure is especially bad for sensitive individuals, and the mom-to-be understandably didn’t want to take any risks.

Providing mold removal in McLean with urgency

Although the mold removal job was not very large in scope, we needed to handle it quickly. First, we assessed how much the mold had spread. The air vents and covers had a pretty good amount of mold in them, as shown.

After that, we started the mold cleanup procedure. First, each technician suited up in their PPE (personal protective equipment) and then began containment on the mold-affected areas. This was to prevent mold spores from contaminating other areas of the home during the process. Then, they cleaned up the mold using our own specialized cleaners and tools.

The next step was to purify the air using negative air scrubbers. These professional tools are commonly used during mold remediation jobs. Equipped with HEPA filters, they remove airborne contaminants, such as molds, fungi, dirt, dust, and other debris from the air. These particles often appear when repairing mold-affected vents, walls, and other items.

After three full days of work, our team completed the job successfully. The results of the Industrial Hygiene report came back with flying colors. The air in the McLean, VA home was nontoxic again and safe for all occupants. In the end, the young couple was very happy and satisfied with the results!
