Attic Mold Remediation Process
Step 1: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
A Project Manager carefully inspects all visible mold in your attic to create a plan for your attic mold remediation in Clinton, CT. Here, they also take measurements and moisture readings to help determine if the mold issue is due to a moisture problem or water damage.
Step 2: Mold Containment
Containment techniques are used to ensure that mold spores do not spread or contaminate unaffected areas of your home while work is being performed. These methods may include using physical barriers and negative air chambers.
Step 3: Air Filtration
Our crew uses air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other specialized equipment to remove microscopic mold spores from the air. This helps to prevent the spread of mold or lingering spores after the remediation process is complete.
Step 4: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
The mold remediation process varies significantly depending on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces involved. Salvageable materials will be treated with antifungal and antimicrobial treatments. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we may need to remove drywall, carpeting, and other porous materials.
Step 5: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing
SERVPRO of Old Saybrook uses a variety of cleaning techniques and products to clean your furnishings and personal belongings. Our crew is also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.
Step 6: Restoration
Depending on the level of damage in the mold remediation project, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials in the attic may have been removed. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
