Our Mold Remediation Process

Trust the professional team of mold remediation experts at Fast Restoration to rid your home of harmful mold and protect your family's health. Our team approaches mold remediation projects with a detailed and comprehensive plan, including the following steps:

Assessment and Inspection: Our specialists assess the affected area to determine the extent of mold growth, identify the type of mold present, and evaluate the underlying cause of mold growth. This step helps in developing an effective remediation plan.
Containment: To prevent the spread of mold spores to unaffected areas, the contaminated area is contained. This involves sealing off the affected area using physical barriers, negative air pressure, and the use of plastic sheeting or other materials.
Air Filtration: Air filtration devices, such as HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, are used to capture airborne mold spores and prevent their dispersal during the remediation process. This helps maintain air quality and protect workers and occupants.
Mold Removal: The actual removal of mold-infested materials takes place. This includes the careful removal and disposal of mold-contaminated materials such as drywall, carpeting, insulation, or other affected items. Proper containment and protective measures are followed during this process to prevent further contamination.
Cleaning and Disinfection: All surfaces within the affected area are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using specialized mold remediation products. This step helps remove any remaining mold spores and prevent their regrowth.
Drying and Dehumidification: It is crucial to address the moisture source that contributed to the mold growth. The affected area is thoroughly dried and dehumidified to eliminate excess moisture and create an environment that is unfavorable for mold growth.
Restoration: If structural components or materials were removed during the remediation process, they are repaired or replaced to restore the property to its pre-damage condition. This may involve repairing walls, replacing flooring, or reinstalling insulation.

Throughout the mold remediation process, our team follows industry guidelines and best practices to ensure safe and effective removal. We use personal protective equipment (PPE) and employ specialized equipment, such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, to identify hidden mold sources and monitor the progress of remediation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mold Remediation

Mold requires moisture, organic material (such as wood or drywall), and a suitable temperature to grow. Common sources of moisture include water leaks, high humidity levels, condensation, or water damage from floods or plumbing issues.

Our team uses various techniques, including visual inspections, moisture testing, air sampling, and surface sampling, to assess the extent of mold contamination. These methods help determine the affected areas and the type and concentration of mold present.

Mold remediation coverage varies among homeowners' insurance policies. Some policies may offer limited coverage for mold remediation if the mold growth is a result of a covered peril, such as water damage from a burst pipe. Review your insurance policy or contact your insurance provider to understand the extent of coverage for mold remediation.

The duration of mold remediation depends on the size of the affected area, the severity of the mold growth, and the specific remediation methods required. Small areas can often be remediated within a few days, while larger or more complex cases may take longer.
