Containment of Affected Areas in Your Home or Business

Based on the extent of the damage, we set the appropriate level of containment to stop mold
spores from reaching clean spaces. Our plan is detailed and sequenced to minimize cross-contamination.

• Seal doors and windows that connect to other rooms.
• Cover HVAC returns and supplies to prevent spore circulation.
• Build polyethylene barriers around the work zone.
• Maintain negative air pressure with HEPA-filtered equipment so fragments stay inside containment.

Deodorization of Affected Areas

Removing visible growth often reduces musty odors, but stubborn smells can linger in porous
materials. When needed, we add targeted deodorization to return the space to a fresh, neutral state.

• Application of professional deodorizing agents after remediation.
• Use of ozone or hydroxyl generators (as conditions allow) to neutralize odor at a molecular level.

Cleaning & Sanitation of Structure, Fixtures & Contents

Porous materials that cannot be restored—such as saturated insulation or ceiling tiles—are removed.
Remaining surfaces are cleaned with methods selected for the material and severity of growth.

• Wet vacuum extraction where appropriate.
• Damp wiping with EPA-registered solutions.
• HEPA vacuuming of surfaces and dust to capture residual spores.
• Thorough drying to prevent recurrence.

HEPA Air Filtration and HEPA Vacuuming

HEPA-certified filtration and vacuuming capture fine particulates—including mold spores—from air
and settled dust. During remediation we run HEPA air scrubbers and follow with HEPA vacuuming so
cleaned areas remain clean and indoor air quality is restored.
