Cleaning Sound Home Surfaces
A HEPA vacuum removes growth and residue together with suitable methods of cleaning. When suitable, antimicrobial treatment complements physical removal.
Controlled Residential Drying
Drying equipment supports drying under controlled conditions, including air movers and a dehumidifier. Moisture readings track progress as water problems are corrected.
Final Cleaning and Verification
Final cleaning and drying are checked. An independent assessor conducts any specified clearance testing while containment remains in place.
Containment Removal and Repair Handoff
Agreed mold remediation steps and checks precede removal of barriers. Repairs still needed determine your access to rooms.
