HELPING RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS THROUGHOUT CENTRAL CONNECTICUT WITH MOLD REMOVAL
Mold is a naturally occurring organism present in all indoor and outdoor environments. However, when mold growth flourishes within a structure, it can create potentially dangerous levels of spores in the environment, posing risks to both property and health. Mold can develop in as little as 24 to 48 hours as a result of some type of water damage, in the right conditions, and once it begins to spread, it can quickly compromise building materials and furnishings.
OUR MOLD REMOVAL PROCESS
Total Restoration offers technicians specifically trained in mold remediation and utilizes the proper tools and processes to effectively remediate your mold issue. Our comprehensive mold remediation process involves the following steps:
ASSESS THE DEGREE OF MOLD GROWTH
We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to assess the extent of mold growth. This includes identifying visible mold, measuring moisture levels, and using specialized equipment to detect hidden mold colonies that may not be immediately apparent.
DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF MOISTURE
Understanding the root cause of mold growth is crucial to effective remediation. Our team identifies the source of moisture contributing to the problem, whether it's a leak, condensation, or humidity issue, and provides recommendations to address it.
SET UP A CONTAINMENT WORK SPACE WITH NEGATIVE AIR PRESSURE
To prevent cross-contamination to unaffected areas of your property, we establish a containment zone around the affected area using plastic sheeting and other barriers. Negative air pressure is created using HEPA-filtered air machines to ensure that mold spores do not spread beyond the containment area.
SET UP HEPA-FILTERED AIR SCRUBBERS TO FILTER AIR CONTAMINANTS
Our team deploys high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) scrubbers within the containment area to continuously filter airborne mold spores and other contaminants. This ensures the air remains clean and helps protect both our workers and your property.
UTILIZE IICRC INDUSTRY STANDARD TECHNIQUES TO PHYSICALLY REMOVE AND KILL MOLD
We employ industry-standard practices set by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to physically remove mold from surfaces and materials. This may include cutting away contaminated drywall, sanding wooden surfaces, and using specialized cleaning agents to kill mold and spores.
HEPA VACUUM AND CLEAN WORK SPACE SURFACES PRIOR TO BREAKING DOWN WORK SITE CONTAINMENT
Once the mold has been removed, we thoroughly clean the workspace using HEPA vacuums and antimicrobial treatments to ensure all mold spores and residues are eliminated. We conduct a final inspection to verify the area is mold-free before breaking down the containment setup.​
POST-REMEDIATION VERIFICATION
After completing the mold remediation process, we perform post-remediation verification (PRV) to confirm that the mold levels are within a safe range and that the affected area has been properly cleaned and restored. This may involve air and surface sampling to ensure the space is safe for re-occupancy.
RESTORATION AND REPAIRS
If any materials or structural components have been removed or damaged during the mold remediation process, we provide full restoration and reconstruction services to repair or replace them, restoring your property to its original condition, or better.
There are three main conditions mold requires to thrive and grow:
​
-
Excess Moisture: Whether from a leaky roof, plumbing issues, high humidity, or flooding, excess moisture is a primary driver of mold growth. Mold needs moisture to develop, and it can grow rapidly in damp, dark, and poorly ventilated spaces.
-
Organic Food Source: Mold feeds on organic materials commonly found in buildings, such as wood, drywall, wallpaper, insulation, and carpet. Once it finds a suitable food source, mold can spread quickly, causing structural damage and degradation of the affected materials.
-
Environment of Typical Room Temperature: Mold grows best in warm environments, typically between 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Indoor spaces that maintain a consistent temperature within this range can provide an ideal environment for mold to flourish, particularly if moisture and a food source are present.
​
At Total Restoration, we understand these conditions and work diligently to eliminate them, preventing mold from taking hold in your home or business.
