Step three: Determine the degree of the mold contamination.

Our Technicians must ascertain the level of contamination because mold may not always grow in one location. How you tackle mold removal and cleanup depend on how much contamination there is.

These recommendations, which are frequently utilized in the construction sector, call for six different levels of mold removal depending on the size of the mold growth and whether or not it is inside the properties HVAC system.

Step four: Start the Remediation Process.

Moreover, new growth must be stopped by treating the moisture source and also by spraying killz if needed. Our techs will Determine if you are operating in an area up to 30 square feet based on your contaminated area assessment (approximately the size of a full sheet of drywall). If so, you will be adhering to the levels 1 and 2 remediation criteria. Level 1 remediation is utilized for mold in small, isolated regions up to 10 square feet in size, whereas Level 2 remediation deals with areas between 10 and 30 square feet in size. 

Fix the water issue. This will aid in limiting the spread of new mold spores. 

Keep the polluted area isolated. For both levels of the property if needed, shut any doors and windows that lead from the contaminated area to other rooms. All doorways and other openings should also be covered with 6 mm polyethylene sheeting for Level 2 remediation.

Duct tape should be used to secure the sheeting's seams, and gaps should be slipped to allow access to the contaminated area. Stop the dust. Mist the contaminated regions to accomplish this. Eliminate all porous, damp, and mold-damaged items.

Margaaa Technicians will Seal the bags with ties. Once the bags' exteriors have been cleaned with a damp cloth and detergent solution before leaving the contaminated location, the bags can be disposed of like regular trash.

Clean. Cleaning is required for all non-porous materials including rotting wood surfaces. On all moldy surfaces, use a wire brush before using disposable wipes to clean the area. Wipes should be disposed of in 6 mil polyethylene bags, double-bagged, and tied shut for standard garbage disposal.
