The Mold and Odor Remediation Process:

When water losses are not handled promptly and dried down quickly, they often lead to secondary damage, such as microbial growth, cause structural components to lose their integrity, and potentially impact indoor air quality. Poor air quality can unfortunately lead to residents of the home developing serious health and respiratory issues. PuroClean’s IICRC-certified technicians follow industry standards to properly remediate the mold and return the property to a pre-loss condition.

Once we plan our course of action, our team will implement engineering controls and containment to prevent cross-contamination to unaffected areas of a building. They do this by utilizing HEPA air filtration devices.

PuroClean’s certified and trained professionals are always ready to respond to your mold emergency quickly and efficiently. Our professionals understand the stressful nature of dealing with this potential health hazard.PuroClean of Strafford County promises to keep the lines of communication open during this process. We strive to complete the mitigation of your property with the utmost care for its condition.

A remediation protocol is developed to remove contaminants by:

  • Removal of compromised materials and contents per industry standards,
  • A thorough cleaning using HEPA air filter devices, HEPA vacuums, thorough cleaning of all surfaces with cleaning solutions that do include EPA-registered disinfectants, followed by another HEPA vacuuming.
  • Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is ineffective, as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s goal is to return your property to a safe and clean condition.
  • Odors indicate that something could still be wet. For example, a musty, pungent odor can indicate microbial issues that can create MVOC’s (microbial volatile organic compounds) and cause health-related issues. PuroClean’s approach is to follow industry standards to develop the proper scope of repair for your home or business. This process includes employing specialized equipment, cleaning practices, followed by recommending a clearance test by a third party to ensure your property has reached the desired goal.

General Mold Questions

What is mold?

Mold is a type of fungus that grows in filaments and reproduces through spores. These spores are present everywhere in our environment but only develop into mold colonies when they find suitable conditions: moisture, warmth, and a food source (typically organic materials in your home).

Is mold dangerous?

Certain molds can pose health risks, especially to individuals with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems. Some molds produce mycotoxins that may cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, eye irritation, and other health problems with prolonged exposure.

What causes mold growth in homes?

The primary causes of mold growth include:

  • Water damage or flooding
  • High humidity levels (above 60%)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Roof leaks
  • Poor ventilation

  • Damp basements or crawl spaces

How can I tell if I have mold in my home?

Not necessarily. We use containment procedures to isolate the affected areas. However, depending on the extent of remediation and your specific health concerns, temporary relocation might be recommended, especially for individuals with respiratory issues or compromised immune systems.
