The local climate contributes to many of the mold issues faced, especially in homes with basements—common in our post-war neighborhoods like Taylor and Allen Park.

Our Process

  1. 1

    Inspection and Assessment

    A thorough inspection is conducted to identify the type and extent of mold growth. Mold inspections utilize moisture meters to pinpoint hidden sources of moisture.

  2. 2

    Containment

    The area is secured using 6-mil plastic sheeting. Negative air machines with HEPA-filtered scrubbers contain the spores within the designated zone.

  3. 3

    Removal and Cleaning

    Contaminated materials are safely removed and bagged for disposal. Surfaces are scrubbed and vacuumed with HEPA vacuums to remove spores.

  4. 4

    Antimicrobial Treatment

    An application of antimicrobial agents prevents future mold growth. This step is critical for sterilizing the environment post-cleanup.

  5. 5

    Verification and Testing

    Post-remediation verification is conducted, often through third-party clearance testing, to ensure air quality and mold levels are safe.
