CORE TEAM Inc's Detailed Mold Treatment & Remediation Process

At CORE TEAM Inc, we follow a meticulously designed mold remediation process that conforms to the highest industry standards, ensuring not only the immediate removal of mold but also long-term prevention. Our process includes the following detailed steps:

Initial Consultation and Inspection
Assessment: Our trained specialists begin with a thorough assessment of your property to identify all mold-affected areas and the source of moisture causing the mold. This includes using advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to map out the moisture and its origins precisely.
Evaluation: After identifying the affected areas, we evaluate the extent of mold growth and the potential damage to your structure and health. This helps you plan an effective remediation strategy tailored to your specific situation.
Containment and Isolation of Affected Area
Preventing Spread: Before starting the remediation, we use physical barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the affected area. This critical step prevents mold spores from spreading to other parts of the building during the removal process.
Safety Protocols: Our team adheres to strict safety protocols, ensuring that both our personnel and your premises are protected from cross-contamination.
Air Filtration and Spore Removal
HEPA Filtration: High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are employed to clean the air and capture airborne mold spores. This helps maintain air quality and prevents health risks associated with inhaling spores.
Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is maintained throughout the process to assist in the removal of contaminated air and to replenish it with clean, fresh air.
Mold Removal and Infected Material Disposal
Targeted Removal: Infected materials such as drywall, insulation, and carpeting that cannot be salvaged are carefully removed and disposed of according to environmental regulations.
Mold Cleaning Service: Surfaces that can be cleaned are treated with eco-friendly antimicrobial and antifungal agents to kill any remaining mold and prevent future mold growth.
Drying and Dehumidification
Thorough Drying: After cleaning, the area is dried using professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate any residual moisture, one of the primary catalysts for mold growth.
Monitoring: The moisture levels are closely monitored to ensure that the environment within your property returns to normal, mold-unfriendly conditions.
Restoration and Prevention
Restoration: Once the mold is removed and the area is completely dry, the restoration process begins. This may involve minor repairs such as repainting and installing new carpet or major repairs such as reconstructing damaged areas of the building.
Preventive Measures: Our team will recommend improvements in moisture management and ventilation to prevent future mold problems. This might include fixing plumbing leaks, improving drainage, and increasing airflow where needed.
Final Inspection and Verification
Quality Assurance: A final inspection is conducted to ensure that all areas have been properly remediated and restored. This includes air quality tests to verify that mold spore counts in the air return to safe levels.
Client Walk-through: We provide a detailed report of the remediation process and go through a final walk-through with you to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mold Remediation

Sometimes mold remediation is included if the cause of the mold was a “covered peril” like a burst hot water heater or water damage caused by firefighters extinguishing a fire in your house. Gradual water damage - like from a leaking pipe or hose - will often cause mold growth, but your insurance coverage will usually not cover that by claiming that it was caused by poor maintenance or neglect. If your insurance company denies your claim, you should request an inspection from a mold remediation company that can help you document the source of the mold.

Anytime the moisture levels in your home are at 60% or higher, mold can grow. What’s frustrating for many property owners is that they don’t see a puddle on the floor or water dripping from the ceiling. When mold grows, the source of the moisture is usually hidden under floorboards or behind walls.

It could be. Because mold spores are microscopic and airborne, you’ll end up breathing them into your lungs. Depending on the type of mold and how well your immune system functions, you may develop some serious health symptoms that could end up being the result of mold. That’s why a mold remediation company takes mold removal so seriously. The space affected by mold is isolated and contained during cleaning so the spores won’t spread to other areas of the house, and the remediation team stays suited up in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the process.

For the majority of surfaces in your home, bleach won’t actually get rid of your mold problem. It’s the “iceberg effect.” Visible mold is usually a small percentage of the actual amount of mold growth. Bleach can’t kill mold on porous surfaces like wood, and while tile or fiberglass surfaces can be cleaned with bleach, often the mold has spread far deeper. The reason why mold remediation companies don’t recommend DIY cleanup isn’t that they want to make more money; they know, in their experience, that a mold problem is usually far more invasive than can be seen with the naked eye. Simply cleaning the surfaces can provide false assurances that you got rid of the mold, only to have it come back time and time again.

If the inspection/assessment process was able to pinpoint the source and cause of the mold growth, once that source is repaired, you can be relatively confident about the success of remediation. Ask if your restoration technician has the IICRC certification for “Applied Microbial Remediation.” You can also request a “post-remediation mold clearance” from a third-party mold inspector to re-test the area for any remaining traces of mold before the area is treated with a sealer or encapsulant to resist future mold growth.
