First steps

How to Prepare for Mold Remediation Services in 19083

Avoid disturbing growth, save useful documentation and, if you can do so safely, stop the water.

Call (844) 352-3560
  1. Stop the water safely. Shut off a leaking fixture or arrange a repair. Avoid standing water as well as electrical equipment that is wet.
  2. Limit access. When you can, shut the door. Do not let pets or children near visible growth.
  3. Avoid spreading particles. Without containment, avoid sanding, scraping or brushing mold. If HVAC equipment might contain mold, shut the equipment off.
  4. Photograph the damage. Record the leak, visible growth and damaged items before anything moves. Ask the insurer which records it needs.

Health and safety

Understanding Mold Removal Safety for Greater Philadelphia Properties

Containment is important to keep clean rooms from receiving mold spores and dust when affected materials are disturbed.

Mold Spores Can Spread

Drywall cutting and carpet pulling can send particles into the air. Negative air pressure and HEPA filtration help limit movement.

Some People Face More Risk

Mold can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms in some people. According to the CDC, higher risk applies to people with asthma, lung disease or weakened immune systems.

Color Does Not Measure Risk

People use black mold and toxic mold as search terms. The CDC explains that the color of mold does not reveal the risk.

Hidden Materials Can Stay Damp

A dry-looking surface can hide wet framing, insulation or subfloor. Moisture readings help establish your affected area.

What you get

What to Look for in a Havertown Mold Remediation Company

Request a Clearly Defined Scope of Work

Specify containment and affected materials in the scope, plus cleanup, repair and drying work and any factors affecting the price.

Start With the Moisture Source

Ask about the approach to finding and correcting a humidity, condensation or leak problem.

Use Independent Clearance Testing

An independent assessor can perform any needed post-remediation verification so the company doing removal does not also check that work.

Step by step

The Mold Remediation Process Across Greater Philadelphia

The mold remediation steps start with assessment and containment, followed by damaged material removal, cleaning, drying and verification, before containment comes down.

  1. Mold Inspection and Moisture Mapping

    A moisture meter helps locate your moisture source and affected materials, with a thermal imaging camera used when helpful.

  2. Containment and Air Filtration

    Poly sheeting forms a containment barrier. Clean rooms receive fewer migrating particles with negative air pressure and an air filtration device, the HEPA air scrubber.

  3. Removal of Damaged Materials

    Protective equipment is used by workers. Drywall removal or other demolition of damaged porous materials may be needed.

  4. Surface Cleaning and Drying

    Remaining non-porous surfaces are cleaned using damp wiping along with a HEPA vacuum. Moisture readings guide drying alongside air movers and a dehumidifier.

  5. Final Cleaning and Verification

    Post-remediation verification may include a visual check, clearance testing or air sampling by an independent assessor.
