Condo Rescue: Hidden Mold Puts North Miami Condo in Jeopardy

Mold Restoration

Have you detected a musty odor in your house lately? Do you experience headaches frequently? If you answered yes to both questions, you might have a hidden mold issue. Mold is a persistent problem that can exist in plain sight or concealed behind building materials, such as drywall and insulation. Regardless of its location, it is essential to address the issue as soon as possible.

Attempting to remove mold on your own is often ineffective. That’s why it’s best to seek the assistance of a professional mold removal and remediation company. A licensed specialist has the knowledge and resources to eliminate existing mold and ensure it doesn’t reappear.

Hidden Mold Troubles

We recently received a call from a property manager of a high-end condo in North Miami. One of their units had reported a mold concern caused by water intrusion. Upon our arrival, we began our investigation with advanced moisture meters and infrared cameras. What we found was shocking.

Our skilled technicians discovered multiple water leaks from the A/C closet, laundry room, and kitchen. After suiting up in our personal protective equipment (PPE), we probed deeper into the affected materials, searching for mold growth. Unfortunately, hidden mold behind the drywall had spread out into adjacent areas, further complicating the level of restoration work necessary. Undeterred, we pushed forward.

Hidden mold behind the drywall and other affected materials meant trouble.

We established a containment zone around the unit’s perimeter and all access points. These measures were instrumental in guaranteeing the safety of the condo’s occupants and preventing cross-contamination in unaffected units. Subsequently, we removed affected building materials within the containment area, including drywall, baseboards, and cabinetry.

After exposing the remaining structure, we applied an anti-microbial solution and used a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter vacuum to eliminate mold spores and growth. Our diligent crew then used dehumidifiers for drying and moisture control and air scrubbers to clean the air of mold particles. After daily inspections, we soon verified the unit was completely dry and safe.

With our containment zones and industrial equipment, we dried and restored the unit with ease.

As a finishing touch, we wiped down the affected surfaces in the affected areas to eliminate any particles and contaminants on the materials. Our final step was performing a post-remediation verification (PRV) clearance test, which certified the affected unit was now mold-free and safe for occupancy. After ten days of hard work, our team finished the job and passed with flying colors!
