Containment in Affected Area(s)
Black mold removal wilmington requires special techniques to ensure toxic spores are eradicated from homes and businesses. Containment is a method for professionals to keep mold spores from spreading as we remove the affected areas and clean up after ourselves.
The highest safety and health standards are adhered to to protect all occupants and those performing mold remediation work. Also, a safe environment should be created post-removal.
To prevent the spread of mold spores during the remediation process, we establish containment measures. This may involve sealing off affected areas with plastic sheeting and using negative air pressure to ensure spores do not disperse into other parts of your home. Containment is a critical step to protect the rest of your property and focus on effective remediation.

HEPA Air Filtration and HEPA Vacuuming
The industry standard is anything less than 10 square feet you won’t require the services of a professional. Anything larger than 10 square feet you will need to hire a mold remediation specialist. Any contractor that does not have the proper certification or insurance could potentially make a small problem into a big one. There are standard protocols that all certified remediators will follow using the iicrcis520 standards. These standards detail the requirements of mold remediation to include the use of proper equipment such as hepa filtration of the vacuums and air handlers, containment of the contaminated work area as needed, the use of fungicides, and the practice of obtaining air samples before and after the remediation.
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and hepa vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.

Containment: to prevent further contamination, we isolate the affected area using containment barriers. Removal: the mold is physically removed using specialized techniques, such as hepa filtration and negative air pressure systems. Cleaning and disinfection: the affected areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining mold spores. Drying: we use dehumidifiers and fans to dry out the area to prevent mold recurrence.
We choose to use a third-party mold testing company. While this is not a common practice among all mold removal companies, we find that third-party mold testing allows for an added layer of trust and transparency. Once your home has been restored and all mold has been properly abated, we will also utilize our third-party testing to re-test your home to ensure all mold has been properly removed.
Mold growth is a common problem, a leak or water intrusion can easily result in a mold issue. Mold can be the cause of numerous respiratory ailments, as well as cause extensive property damage. Some individuals may not even be aware of any water damage, but suspect mold growth due to the musty odor that mold gives off. If you have recently experienced any form of water damage or suspect mold, you need to have mold testing and mold inspection completed by a professional testing group like airmd as a first step to determine if remediation and removal is necessary.
Insurance agencies expect you to practice property maintenance and good common sense. Case in point, turning on the exhaust fan in the bathroom to remove water vapor when bathing, periodically checking basement, crawl space and attic for problems. Just a side note: when cooking with a gas cooktop, you should turn on the exhaust fan vented to the outside because gas flame produces a carbon monoxide gas beyond 9 parts per million at which the epa has determined as the top safe level. Examples of poor maintenance: your 30-year-old roof has leaked into the attic for an unknown period of time and you discover mold growing on the rafters.
