Mold Inspections Assess the Damage

Among the first steps, our team must complete when starting mold remediation in Jamestown homes is to assess the scope of the present damage. Mold inspections conducted by our specialists seek to identify several problem areas and conditions that require our intervention and assistance, such as:

• Structural damage
• Odors
• Deterioration
• Where containment is needed
• The severity of mold colonization

Surface Treatment and Mold Prevention

Using antimicrobial and sporicidal products have two unique and beneficial purposes in mold-damaged homes. The first and most helpful is eliminating light mold damage where spotting has started for hosting elements. In addition, applying these products to undamaged surfaces nearby acts as a mold inhibiting agent to keep spores from spreading.

Aggressive Cleaning of Damaged Building Materials

While surface treatment solutions are favored whenever possible, more aggressive and abrasive cleaning measures are sometimes necessary to penetrate beyond what the eye can see. Soda blasting and sponge pressure cleaning introduce high-pressure blasts of air mixed with a specific medium to remove the entire hyphae of a mold organism seated in exposed elements without ruining the hosting material.
