Mold infested wall

 

Remediation Process services can also be provided by GREEN CARPET CLEANING& ALLERGY KENYA ; a customized, pre-written mold remediation procedure along with an estimate for this service will be provided with your report if contamination is reported . We use a 5-step protocol for all of our remediation services, and we are the only company in the industry to offer a 10 year warranty for the work, once completed in full.

 

Step 1: Scheduling Your Work

Once your consultation is complete, and you are ready to schedule the work, simply send in a copy of your signed estimate and contact the office to arrange payment. We accept all forms of payment, except American Express, and have secure electronic options available to help expedite this process.   We will work with you, and your schedule, to get the work started as soon as possible. Most work can be completed within 2 business days (this timeline may vary depending on the actual work recommended).

 

Step 2: Starting Your Work – 5 Step Protocol

We employ a 5 Step Protocol for our remediation services, based off of EPA and CDC guidelines, as well as industry standards, and following OSHA guidelines for safety. The following outlines each step in our process:

  1. Pre-job Testing – On the scheduled start date of your remediation work, additional testing will be performed. This includes an inspection of non-prescribed work areas, and areas already outlined in the estimate. Prior to the start of remediation, samples (surface and/or air) will be taken in all non-work areas throughout the property, at no additional charge to the customer. These samples are sent to the lab for processing while your work is being completed. This pre-job testing is important because we must be sure we are completely eradicating mold from the home before a full clearance can be issued.
  1. Containment and Filtration – Each area of concern, as outlined in your estimate, will have a containment chamber set up with a decontamination chamber as needed for entrance into, and exit from, the contained areas. All workers will be outfitted in OSHA approved, full body Tyvek suits and face respirators with eye protection. Each area will have a minimum of one air scrubber/negative pressure air machine and one HEPA filter vacuum. All contained areas of concern will be air scrubbed for the duration of the project.
  1. Removal – All contaminated building materials will be bagged, sealed and discarded. All debris will be disposed of properly to meet all county and state laws.
  1. Cleaning – All exposed wood members and cavities will be sanded, scrubbed, wire brushed, and HEPA vacuumed as needed, and treated with a hospital grade biocide solution. All exposed inner-wall cavities and wood members will be coated with an anti-fungal encapsulant to prevent any future mold growth from occurring. All accessible hard surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings, ledges) in the work area will be decontaminated (HEPA vacuumed, biocide treatments, antifungal agent wipes, etc.).
  1. Clearance Testing – Once all remediation is complete, clearance samples will be collected and laboratory analysis performed to ensure no further contamination is present. A clearance certification and 10 year warranty will be issued once all areas pass clearance testing.

 

Step 3: 3 Months Warranty

Indoor-Restore Environmental Services offers a Three-month warranty on all mold remediation services we conduct at your property. This warranty assures that mold will not recur to areas remediated by our company, under normal living conditions. We provide this to all of our clients to ensure the peace of mind they deserve, and to guarantee that the efforts executed by our technicians are of the highest standards and quality.

It is the responsibility of the client to repair all water intrusions and leaks immediately, so that no elevated levels of moisture exist; this can include: water leaks, water intrusion, and elevated humidity due to proximity to the ocean, etc. Any moisture issues not addressed immediately can void the warranty. If any mold growth occurs in the work areas, and no new or ongoing moisture issues are present, then continued remediation will be completed at no additional charge to the client.

Any new drywall, drywall mud, drywall tape, insulation, primer, and paint that is installed must have anti-fungal agents incorporated in them. These products contain specific chemicals that will resist mold growth for extended periods.

Mold indoors is bad news.

Is mold remediation toxic? We hear this question often. But have you ever thought that it is not the mold removal process is dangerous, but the fungus and mold spores themselves?

The mold remediation process is not inherently dangerous and can save you from health problems in the future.

Mold damages

When you see mold in your home or business, it can seem like a very little thing. Barely worth a second thought. However, mold is a big problem. It can cause a lot of damage, some of which may be rather surprising. Here are a few of the damages mold can cause:

Mold Affects Health

Mold spores are naturally in indoor air, but when it starts growing inside, the amount of mold spores in the air can increase exponentially. Why is this? Active mold growth is like a mold factory, making new spores that are released into the air when the mold is disturbed. Energy-efficient building practices, which make buildings easier to heat and cool, can restrict ventilation so the mold has nowhere to go.

This spells trouble for your health, especially if you have allergies or asthma. Mold has been proven to cause health effects in even non-sensitive individuals, so there is no safe mold problem. You don't want to live with mold. Since mold spreads so quickly, the amount of spores in the air you breathe will only increase over time. Even worse, complex mold projects run the real risk of containing a bigger variety of mold types, some of which may be toxic. Determining which type of mold is in your home is important because each kind of mold behaves differently.

Mold Destroys Property

In nature, mold feeds off of fallen leaves, branches, and other nutrient-rich organic materials. Mold is an important part of the decomposition that enriches the soil and breaks down dead vegetation.

Now think about what mold can do to your building. Mold can damage walls, floors and ceilings by weakening them, eating deep into the materials over time. Mold can also damage wooden support beams, especially when left to grow unchecked, in wet conditions, behind walls and in other hidden spaces. Whenever mold is growing in porous materials, whether upholstered furniture, building materials or carpeting, the materials may not be able to cleaned sufficiently and they may need to be disposed of and replaced instead.

What to do when you suspect, see, or smell mold

While it may be tempting to take up a cloth and wipe the mold away - stop. Mold that you see means it is growing spores - and touching them can release these spores into the air. According to the CDC, you need to treat mold right away.

Try to stay away from the area. Where mold is growing the density of mold spores in the air is higher, and could cause congestion or other problems, like headache and dizziness.

Turn off your HVAC because the last thing you want is to be pulling mold spores into your air circulation system.

Call a professional for mold remediation. The professional mold remediators at Green carpet cleaning use methods to remediate mold based on the prevailing industry standards. Our training and equipment will make sure that the problem is taken care of the right way.

Mold Cleanup in Your Home

Mold Cleanup

Who should do the cleanup depends on a number of factors. One consideration is the size of the mold problem. If the moldy area is less than about 10 square feet (less than roughly a 3 ft. by 3 ft. patch), in most cases, you can handle the job yourself, follow the Mold Cleanup Tips and Techniques. However:


Floods and Flooding

   

During flood cleanup, the indoor air quality in your home or office may appear to be the least of your problems. However, failure to remove contaminated materials and to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious long-term health risks. Standing water and wet materials are a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood.

To learn more about flood clean up and indoor air quality, visit: 

  • If you suspect that the heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) system may be contaminated with mold (it is part of an identified moisture problem, for instance, or there is mold near the intake to the system), before taking further action. Do not run the HVAC system if you know or suspect that it is contaminated with mold - it could spread mold throughout the building.
  • If the water and/or mold damage was caused by sewage or other contaminated water, then call in a professional who has experience cleaning and fixing buildings damaged by contaminated water.
  • If you have health concerns, consult a health professional before starting cleanup.
  • Tips and Techniques

     

    The tips and techniques presented in this section will help you clean up your mold problem. Professional cleaners or remediators may use methods not covered here. Please note that mold may cause staining and cosmetic damage. It may not be possible to clean an item so that its original appearance is restored.

  • Fix plumbing leaks and other water problems as soon as possible. Dry all items completely.
  • Scrub mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water, and dry completely.
  • Absorbent or porous materials, such as ceiling tiles and carpet, may have to be thrown away if they become moldy. Mold can grow on or fill in the empty spaces and crevices of porous materials, so the mold may be difficult or impossible to remove completely.
  • Avoid exposing yourself or others to mold. See discussions:
  • Do not paint or caulk moldy surfaces. Clean up the mold and dry the surfaces before painting. Paint applied over moldy surfaces is likely to peel.
  • If you are unsure about how to clean an item, or if the item is expensive or of sentimental value, you may wish to consult a specialist. Specialists in furniture repair, restoration, painting, art restoration and conservation, carpet and rug cleaning, water damage, and fire or water restoration are commonly listed in phone books. Be sure to ask for and check references. Look for specialists who are affiliated with professional organizations.

Types of Mold

Type of Mold

➤ Breathe easier with professional mold removal in Nairobi. Advanced clearing techniques for a healthier home. Call US Green Carpet Cleaning at 0792 293 443 for expert mold solutions!

Most mold removal is treated in the same way, but knowing the specific type of mold can help determine the depth of the removal work.

  • Black mold: Black mold gets more attention because Stachybotrys chartarum gained attention in the media around 1993-94 after a cluster of cases of pulmonary hemorrhage and hemosiderosis in infants occurred in Cleveland after living in water damaged residences where investigators found Stachybotrys chartarum. A hypothesis was formed that linked Stachybotrys chartarum to the illnesses, but later the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) couldn’t conclude a possible association between acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage among infants and Stachybotrys chartarum.
  • Alternaria: Alternaria mold appears as a dark, green-gray color and mostly exists outdoors. It can travel indoors and spread on carpets, wallpaper and fabrics.
  • Aspergillus: Aspergillus mold comes in a variety of colors from white, green and red. Penicillin is derived from Aspergillus and those with an allergy to penicillin can feel the effect of Aspergillus.
  • Chaetomium: Chaetomium has a blue-green color and can appear in areas that have experienced prolonged periods of high humidity and dampness. It can appear most often in air ducts and walls.
  • Cladosporium: Cladosporium has a white color and can appear often. It has the possibility to affect people with allergies and asthma.
  • Fusarium: Fusarium can appear as white, yellow, brown or pink. It typically grows outdoors and affects plants.
  • Green mold: Many molds can have a green color and can affect people with allergies and asthma.
  • Serpula lacrymans: Serpula lacrymans most often has a yellow color to it. It appears frequently on wood structures and furniture. It can sometimes get called slime mold because of its soft, liquid texture.
  • White mold: Many molds appear white in color. The texture can differentiate the molds as some white molds have a powdery texture.

Extent of Damage

The size of the mold problem impacts the cost since mold removal specialists can charge per square foot. It can also impact the remediation cost if the mold has spread to hidden parts of your home. Mold that spreads behind walls can lead to expensive repairs that can mean tearing out drywall and framing.

It’s important to respond to mold quickly to limit its spread. It’s also important to address the factors that led to mold in the first place. That can mean correcting humidity levels and repairing any leaks that led to a moisture buildup. Proper cleaning can limit the buildup of organic material that provides a place for mold to grow.

Reasons to Act Quickly on Mold Removal and Remediation

If left unchecked, mold can spread fast and lead to expansive problems. It’s important to act quickly when you spot mold to prevent its spread. While you can treat mold quickly to remove it from the spots where it appears, it’s important to address areas where it can spread, like your HVAC and ducts. Mold removal professionals will take steps to eliminate mold from those areas.

Mold can lead to wood rot and damaged walls. Replacing walls and insulation can be necessary if you let mold fester. A small spot of mold can reveal a larger problem and needs remediation to make sure it doesn’t spread.

How Much Does Mold Remediation and Removal Cost?

Knowing how to get rid of mold can help solve small spots of mold, but larger problems need the expertise of mold removal specialists to ensure the mold gets removed and doesn’t return. Mold needs to be removed quickly to prevent its spread and keep the air in your home healthy.

Mold remediation and removal costs can vary by the square footage of the affected area and the process used to remove mold. Mold removal techniques can vary by technician, which can cause discrepancies between quotes. Mold removal costs have a wide range with some starting at as little as Ksh20 and Ksh25 per square foot and others costing more than Ksh30 per square for whole-home mold removal.

 

Average Mold Remediation Costs

Mold remediation costs and costs per square foot range, but some mold removal specialists estimate it costs Ksh 25 per square foot to remove mold, estimating program used by mold removal specialists. That estimate includes HEPA vacuum cleaning and washing with an antimicrobial twice.

What Is Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation involves the removal and elimination of mold from an area. Mold can grow where moisture and organic material co-mingle with at least 60% humidity. Depending on the mold remediation method used, the process can include containment where the area is isolated to prevent the spread of mold spores.

Mold removal specialists will treat mold with a biocide, remove unsalvageable pieces and properly dispose of them so that mold spores do not circulate. The stained area typically gets treated with a spray to eliminate mold. Some mold removal specialists will also deploy a fog through your HVAC system to eliminate any lingering spores in your home.

The affected space will need time to dry and must remain undisturbed for at least 24 hours. Some mold removal processes can include treating affected wood with a primer and repainting with a paint that has mildewicide to prevent mold from returning.

Typical Mold Remediation and Removal Costs

Mold remediation and removal costs vary because of a number of factors. The extent of the damage will dictate the cost the most, as mold removers can charge per square foot. The method of mold removal can also impact the cost as some mold removal companies use different strategies to combat mold. The location of the mold can change the cost because different spots in the home can mean different removal methods.

Mold Remediation by Square Foot

The average mold removal will charge around Ksh25 per square foot while Our estimates range between Ksh20 and Ksh30 per square foot, including materials and labor. Costs can vary if the mold removal technicians use containment, which means additional materials. Costs can increase should the specialist need to remove drywall or other affected items that cannot be repaired.

Cost by Mold Location

  • Basement mold removal: A 1,000-square foot basement can cost between Ksh25 and Ksh30 per square foot, depending on the size of the mold problem. Basements tend to have more damp areas than other rooms so it has greater potential for mold to spread. Costs can compound if mold has gotten into drywall or if the basement wasn’t properly encapsulated.
  • HVAC ducts mold remediation and removal: Some mold removal companies will clean HVAC ducts to eliminate mold after cleaning an affected area since the HVAC system can continue to blow spores around your home. Duct cleaning can cost between Ksh20 and Ksh25 per square foot. Some removal companies can instead fog the ducts to remove the mold that might exist there, which can get charged per square foot.
  • Attic mold remediation: Removing mold from an attic, depending on the issue. If the mold can get treated, the cost will remain lower, but should any insulation need replacing, the costs can rise.
  • Crawl space mold remediation and removal: Crawl space mold remediation and removal can cost between Ksh20 and Ksh30 per square foot, depending on the size of the mold problem. Any mold issue with a crawl space can mean looking at the ventilation to prevent humid conditions for mold to grow, plus any structural items will need inspection to see if they need repair. Crawl space insulation can cost between Ksh20 and Ksh25 per square foot
  • Bathroom mold remediation: Most bathroom mold removal and remediation can cost from Ksh25 and Ksh30 per square foot, but if the mold has spread behind things like tile or a vanity, costs can increase significantly to the tune of Ksh150 per square foot or more for a bathroom remodel.
  • Whole-home mold remediation and removal: Whole-home mold remediation costs can range from Ksh25 per square foot for a 2,000-square foot home up to as much as Ksh30 per square foot in some cases. Mold specialists usually classify mold problems by levels with level three being the worst and requiring the most remediation work.

 

What to Consider When Choosing a Mold Removal Service

Expertise and Certification

Always ensure the company you’re considering has certified professionals on board. Certifications from organizations like the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) are a good indicator of a company’s dedication to industry standards.

Reviews and Testimonials

In this digital age, customer reviews and testimonials can offer a window into a company’s performance and reliability. Check online review platforms and the company’s website to gauge past customer experiences.

Services Offered

While your immediate need might be mold removal, it’s beneficial to consider companies that offer a range of services. Often, mold is a symptom of another issue like water damage. Companies that can handle a spectrum of problems can offer holistic solutions.

Response Time

Mold doesn’t wait, and neither should you. Fast response times not only address the issue promptly, but can also prevent further spread and damage.

Equipment and Technology

The mold remediation industry has seen significant advancements in technology. Opt for companies that utilize the latest equipment and techniques to ensure effective mold removal and prevention.

Insurance and Licensing

Always make sure the company you choose is fully licensed and insured. This not only guarantees that you’re dealing with professionals but also safeguards you against potential liabilities.

Transparent Pricing

Hidden fees and unexpected charges can be a nasty surprise. Seek out companies that offer transparent, upfront pricing and provide detailed estimates.

Choosing the right mold removal service is not just about getting rid of the mold. It’s about ensuring the health and safety of your living space. By considering these factors, you’re taking a step in the right direction towards a mold-free home.

How to Hire a Mold Removal Company

Hiring the right mold removal company is crucial for both your property’s integrity and your health. With the proliferation of many mold remediation services available, it can be challenging to determine which company is right for you. Here’s a guide to assist you in making an informed decision:

  • Identify the issue: Before reaching out, assess the extent of the mold issue yourself. Is it localized to one area, or is it widespread? This can help mold removal services provide a preliminary quote.
  • Search local directories: Begin your search by looking through local directories. Companies rooted in your community are often more responsive and understanding of local mold-related issues.
  • Collect recommendations: While online reviews are beneficial, personal recommendations from friends or neighbors provide added trust.
  • Start the initial communication: Your first call or email can tell you a lot about a company’s professionalism and customer service. Note how they address your concerns.
  • Complete a site inspection: Before giving a final quote, a reputable company should offer an on-site inspection to understand the extent of the issue.
  • Receive a detailed quote: Post-inspection, ask for an itemized quote, breaking down costs for labor, materials and other services.
  • Review the contract: Once agreed, ensure all details are in a written contract—from costs to the scope of work, and any guarantees offered.

Questions to Ask a Mold Removal Service

Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, it’s time to engage directly with potential services. Here are critical questions to ask:

  1. How do you test for mold? Some companies might perform testing themselves, while others might recommend an independent tester to avoid conflicts of interest.
  2. What equipment and methods will you use? This gives you insight into how they plan to tackle your mold problem. For instance, do they use EPA-approved chemicals? Do they have advanced equipment like HEPA air scrubbers and dehumidifiers?
  3. Can you provide references? Any reputable company should be willing to offer references from previous clients.
  4. How long will the process take? While every situation is unique, having a tentative timeline can help you plan.
  5. Will you seal off the affected area? Proper containment is crucial to prevent mold spores from spreading to other parts of your property.
  6. Do you offer a guarantee? Some companies might provide a guarantee for their work, ensuring that if mold returns within a certain period, they’ll address it at no extra cost.
  7. How do you train your Technicians? Understanding the training and expertise level of the individuals who’ll be working on your property can give you added peace of mind.

Remember, mold isn’t just unsightly; it can pose health risks and compromise the structural integrity of your property. It’s imperative to choose a mold removal service that is competent, trustworthy and equipped to handle the task efficiently.

Mold Inspection vs. Remediation vs. Removal

When dealing with mold, understanding the terminology used by professionals is essential to ensure you’re getting the service you need. Let’s break down these terms and understand what each means, and then see which services are provided by the top companies on our list.

Mold Inspection

Mold inspection is the process of identifying the presence and type of mold growth in a structure. It often includes:

  • Locating the source of the moisture causing the mold
  • Determining the extent of the mold growth
  • Identifying the type of mold and potential health risks

This step is essential in diagnosing the severity of the issue and deciding on the subsequent course of action.

Mold Remediation

Mold remediation focuses on restoring mold levels to natural and healthy amounts. The process typically includes:

  • Containing the mold to prevent further spread
  • Cleaning and sanitizing affected areas
  • Identifying and rectifying the water source that led to mold growth

Ensuring moisture levels are back to normal to prevent future growth

Mold remediation may not always involve the removal of building materials, as some may be cleaned and treated in place.

Mold Removal

While the term “mold removal” is often used, it’s a bit misleading. Since microscopic mold spores can naturally be found everywhere, indoors and outdoors, getting rid of all of the mold inside a home or business is unachievable. Instead, the term often refers to:

  • The removal of mold-infested materials that cannot be salvaged
  • Cleaning and treating areas where mold is visible
  • Ensuring the environment is no longer conducive to excessive mold growth

Which Services do We Offer?

  • We Offers mold remediation, meaning they focus on addressing the root cause and restoring mold levels to normal.
  • We Specializes in mold remediation, providing comprehensive solutions to treat and prevent mold.
  •  We also offer mold removal, indicating they address visible mold and might remove and replace affected structures.

Cost of Hiring a Mold Removal Services

Mold remediation is an investment in your health and the structural integrity of your property. The average cost for mold remediation fluctuates based on the severity and extent of the infestation. According to Xactimate, a trusted estimating software used by professionals in the mold removal industry and insurance agents, remediation typically costs about  per square foot. This estimate encompasses the processes of HEPA vacuum cleaning and two rounds of washing with an antimicrobial solution.

To put these numbers into perspective:

  • For a 1,000-square-foot residence, you might expect mold removal to cost approximately 
  • An average-sized 2,000-square-foot home could incur expenses around 
  • Larger properties, such as a 5,000-square-foot home, might see costs escalate to the ballpark of 

Factors Influencing Cost

As mentioned, several elements can sway the final cost of mold remediation:

  • Extent of the mold infestation: Larger areas of contamination naturally require more labor and materials.
  • Location of the mold: Mold growing in harder-to-reach areas, like crawl spaces or within walls, can make the remediation process more labor-intensive and thus more costly.
  • Type of mold: Some mold types might necessitate specialized treatments or precautions, affecting the cost.
  • Structural repairs: If mold has caused significant structural damage, repairs might add to the overall expense.
  • Preventative measures: Post-remediation, implementing mold-resistant solutions or dehumidifiers can be an additional cost but will help prevent future issues.

Understanding these potential cost drivers can help homeowners budget more effectively and make informed decisions when hiring mold remediation services.


DIY Mold Removal vs. Hiring a Professional

When faced with mold in your home, the decision of whether to tackle it on your own or seek professional assistance is crucial. While it might seem cost-effective to embark on a DIY mold removal project, it’s vital to consider the associated health risks and complexities.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that homeowners might handle mold problems that cover less than 10 square feet. However, for areas exceeding this size, or if you’re uncertain about the extent, the stakes are too high to go it alone. Engaging with larger mold infestations without proper precautions can lead to exposure to harmful mold spores. Such exposure can result in respiratory issues, allergies and severe health challenges, especially when dealing with toxic black mold.

Furthermore, superficial DIY treatments might not address the root cause, allowing mold to return and possibly causing greater damage. Hence, while the idea of DIY mold removal might appeal to some, the potential dangers make it clear: for comprehensive and safe mold eradication, it’s imperative to hire a professional.

Advantages of Hiring a Mold Removal Company

After understanding the potential dangers and intricacies of DIY mold removal, it becomes clear why hiring experts is the smarter choice. Here are some advantages of hiring a mold removal company:

  • Specialized expertise: Professionals bring a depth of knowledge, ensuring complete mold removal and reducing the chance of recurrence.
  • Advanced equipment: Mold removal companies employ state-of-the-art equipment to detect, eliminate and prevent mold growth effectively.
  • Safety first: A professional company prioritizes safety, ensuring you and your family are protected from harmful mold spores.
  • Holistic treatment: Professionals don’t just remove visible mold, they dive deep, addressing the root cause of moisture problems, thus preventing future outbreaks.

How to Prevent Mold in Your Home

Mold thrives in damp and humid environments, often stemming from undetected water intrusions or poor ventilation. By understanding the conditions that mold favors, you can take proactive steps to ensure it doesn’t take up residence in your space. Here are some effective strategies to keep mold at bay:

  • Maintain proper ventilation: Particularly in areas of your home that generate a lot of moisture like bathrooms and kitchens, it’s crucial to ensure good airflow. Use exhaust fans or crack open a window when showering or cooking to reduce moisture.
  • Monitor indoor humidity: Aim to keep your indoor humidity levels between 30% and 50%. If certain rooms tend to get damp, consider using a dehumidifier.
  • Regularly inspect for leaks: Keep an eye on your home’s roof, windows and plumbing. If you spot a leak, address it as soon as possible to prevent prolonged moisture exposure.
  • Dry wet areas immediately: Whether it’s a spilled glass of water or a wet floor post-shower, ensure you dry any wet areas in your home within 24 to 48 hours.
  • Ensure good drainage: Check that your home’s gutters are clean and that the ground around the foundation slopes away from your house. This helps prevent water buildup which could lead to mold.
  • Use mold-resistant products: If you’re renovating or building new spaces, consider mold-resistant materials, particularly in parts of your home prone to dampness.
  • Regular cleaning: Keep high-humidity areas, like bathroom,s clean and regularly use mold-preventing cleaning agents.

  • The removal of mold-infested materials that cannot be salvaged
  • Cleaning and treating areas where mold is visible
  • Ensuring the environment is no longer conducive to excessive mold growth

Mold Removal and Remediation

Remediation services can also be provided by Indoor-Restore Environmental Service; a customized, pre-written mold remediation procedure along with an estimate for this service will be provided with your report if contamination is reported by the lab. We use a 5-step protocol for all of our remediation services, and we are the only company in the industry to offer a 10 year warranty for the work, once completed in full.

 

Step 1: Scheduling Your Work

Once your consultation is complete, and you are ready to schedule the work, simply send in a copy of your signed estimate and contact the office to arrange payment. We accept all forms of payment, except American Express, and have secure electronic options available to help expedite this process.   We will work with you, and your schedule, to get the work started as soon as possible. Most work can be completed within 2 business days (this timeline may vary depending on the actual work recommended).

 

Step 2: Starting Your Work – 5 Step Protocol

We employ a 5 Step Protocol for our remediation services, based off of EPA and CDC guidelines, as well as industry standards, and following OSHA guidelines for safety. The following outlines each step in our process:

  1. Pre-job Testing – On the scheduled start date of your remediation work, additional testing will be performed. This includes an inspection of non-prescribed work areas, and areas already outlined in the estimate. Prior to the start of remediation, samples (surface and/or air) will be taken in all non-work areas throughout the property, at no additional charge to the customer. These samples are sent to the lab for processing while your work is being completed. This pre-job testing is important because we must be sure we are completely eradicating mold from the home before a full clearance can be issued.
  1. Containment and Filtration – Each area of concern, as outlined in your estimate, will have a containment chamber set up with a decontamination chamber as needed for entrance into, and exit from, the contained areas. All workers will be outfitted in OSHA approved, full body Tyvek suits and face respirators with eye protection. Each area will have a minimum of one air scrubber/negative pressure air machine and one HEPA filter vacuum. All contained areas of concern will be air scrubbed for the duration of the project.
  1. Removal – All contaminated building materials will be bagged, sealed and discarded. All debris will be disposed of properly to meet all county and state laws.
  1. Cleaning – All exposed wood members and cavities will be sanded, scrubbed, wire brushed, and HEPA vacuumed as needed, and treated with a hospital grade biocide solution. All exposed inner-wall cavities and wood members will be coated with an anti-fungal encapsulant to prevent any future mold growth from occurring. All accessible hard surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings, ledges) in the work area will be decontaminated (HEPA vacuumed, biocide treatments, antifungal agent wipes, etc.).
  1. Clearance Testing – Once all remediation is complete, clearance samples will be collected and laboratory analysis performed to ensure no further contamination is present. A clearance certification and 10 year warranty will be issued once all areas pass clearance testing.

 

Step 3: 3 Months Warranty

Indoor-Restore Environmental Services offers a Three-month warranty on all mold remediation services we conduct at your property. This warranty assures that mold will not recur to areas remediated by our company, under normal living conditions. We provide this to all of our clients to ensure the peace of mind they deserve, and to guarantee that the efforts executed by our technicians are of the highest standards and quality.

It is the responsibility of the client to repair all water intrusions and leaks immediately, so that no elevated levels of moisture exist; this can include: water leaks, water intrusion, and elevated humidity due to proximity to the ocean, etc. Any moisture issues not addressed immediately can void the warranty. If any mold growth occurs in the work areas, and no new or ongoing moisture issues are present, then continued remediation will be completed at no additional charge to the client.

Any new drywall, drywall mud, drywall tape, insulation, primer, and paint that is installed must have anti-fungal agents incorporated in them. These products contain specific chemicals that will resist mold growth for extended periods.
