When dealing with a mold problem, it is crucial to approach the situation professionally in order to effectively eliminate the mold and prevent its return. The initial step is to identify and address any moisture sources that may have caused the mold growth in the first place. Once this has been accomplished, there are two primary methods for removing mold.
The first method is the Tear Out Method, which is an older technology that involves hiring a mold inspector to evaluate the mold problem and create a remediation protocol for the remediation company. The remediation company will then remove the affected area, create a barrier to prevent the mold from spreading, and clean the HVAC unit to eliminate any mold spores. After the remediation is complete, another air quality test is conducted to verify that the mold has been successfully eliminated. If necessary, the process may need to be repeated until the air quality is safe.
The second method is the Smart Nano Purification, which is a new technology that involves a comprehensive remediation of the entire home using specialized equipment to eliminate mold, viruses, and bacteria. The remediation company will first identify and fix any moisture sources, then use equipment to dry out the space before commencing the Smart Nano Purification process. This process takes about three hours to complete and does not necessitate any tearing out of materials. An independent mold inspector will then confirm that the space is free of elevated mold levels. If any mold is still present, the remediation company will return to identify and fix any remaining moisture sources before repeating the Smart Nano Purification process at no additional charge.
Both of these methods are effective in addressing mold problems, but the Smart Nano Purification method offers a more comprehensive and efficient solution without the need for tearing out materials. It is critical to address mold problems quickly and professionally to ensure the health and safety of your home and its occupants.
