Basement Mold Remediation Process
Step 1: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
A Project Manager carefully inspects all visible mold and determines what materials have been affected to create a plan for your basement mold removal in Edison, NJ. We also take moisture readings to determine if water damage or a moisture problem is causing your mold issue.
Step 2: Mold Containment
Before we begin your basement mold remediation in Edison, NJ, it's important to first prevent the spread of mold during the removal process. Our team implements various containment methods, such as using physical barriers and negative air pressure systems to isolate the area being remediated. The HVAC system is also turned off to prevent mold spores from traveling throughout your home.
Step 3: Air Filtration
Our crew uses commercial grade air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other specialized equipment to filter microscopic mold spores out of the air. This step is essential to help prevent the spread of mold or lingering spores after the remediation process.
Step 4: Removing Basement Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
The mold remediation process can vary significantly depending on the amount of mold growth and types of surfaces involved. In most cases, antifungal and antimicrobial treatments are used to eliminate mold colonies and prevent new colonies from forming. 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 Edison also uses a variety of techniques to clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by the mold. We're also trained to remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.
Step 6: Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
