Inspection
Our team searches your property for visible mold and that pesky mold hidden in areas using special technology that isn't visible to the untrained . We then collect samples and send them off for mold testing in a lab to determine the mold type.
Prevention
If mold is detected, it's important to prevent it from spreading to other areas. We isolate the affected area using negative air chambers and other physical barriers. By containing the mold we're able to effectively take measures to eliminate it.
Air Scrubbing
We use HEPA filters and powerful vacuums to scrub the indoor air. The goal being to match the spore levels indoors to the outside spore levels. This step helps remove contaminants and improves air breathability.
Materials Removal
If intensive cleaning can't save building materials such as insulation, wallpaper, drywall, or carpeting, we dispose them. We also we apply antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to all other contaminated structures to prevent further mold issues.
Cleaning
Process
Using wet, dry, foam, abrasion, and immersion cleaning (depending on the material), we bring your contaminated items back to their pre-damaged condition. In addition, we use fogging to get rid of that musty smell associated with mold infestations.
Restoration Process
We use new building materials to replace anything damaged. We may need to rebuild entire rooms or simply replace components like drywall panels, wallpaper, or carpeting. Our work is only finished when there is no visible traces of mold.
Final Air Quality Test
We wrap up the entire process with another air quality test. To ensure that the mold spore levels in the affected areas inside the building and equal to or less than those outside. And that's it, your building is now mold free once again. You now have clean air!
What is Mold Removal & Remediation?
Mold removal and mold remediation are often used interchangeably, but they actually refer to distinct processes. In most cases, when people use either term, they are usually referring to both mold removal and mold remediation. This involves both halting or reversing the harm caused by killing and altering the mold, and physically extracting it from the affected area.
Which Molds Types are Bad for Your Health?
Mold spores are present in every breath we take, indoors and outdoors, and their concentration is crucial. If the same type of mold reaches an extremely high concentration, the air becomes toxic, whereas a lower count results in fresher air, such as in mountain areas or out at sea. Ultimately, reducing the mold spore count per cubic meter over the long term is the goal and outcome we achieve at SpeedTek.
Allergenic Molds
These molds are responsible for inducing and triggering allergies and allergic reactions, such as asthma attacks. Symptoms can appear swiftly and only affect those who are susceptible to allergies, as is typical with any allergic reaction. Regardless it's never a good idea to not treat this type of mold even if you're not effect by it.
Pathogenic Molds
The molds that cause disease and infection are known as pathogens. Mold can lead to chronic sinus infections, or sinusitis, in addition to infections like yeast infections, bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, pneumonia, and thrush. Thankfully, these infections are quite rare for individuals with robust immune systems.
Toxigenic Molds
These molds are capable of generating VOC or in other words mycotoxins. They have negative effects on everyone. Inhaling them is the same as inhaling smoke, aerosol sprays, or gasoline fumes. For those with severely compromised immune systems, they can be fatal. And harmful to even the healthiest individuals.
The 6 Types of Mold Likely Making You Sick
Below are the six most common molds that are likely making your sick and how we deal with them.
Stachybotrys
Remove and discard the damaged materials that cannot be salvaged by ripping and tearing them out. Stachybotrys is aggressive and high toxic so this is the only real solution.
Chaetomium
Dry ice blasting is generally used since it leaves zero residue as the dry ice pellets turn into gas. Typically, this approach is employed on concrete, brickwork, and attics.
Aspergillus
This is a less aggressive mold so wiping the mold away works. Once the mold is wiped away we can then paint over the affected area bring the conditional back to a pre-damaged state.
Fusarium
After the mold removal process once the mold is dead. The remaining molds are harmless. So wiping the mold away and painting over is the general process for Fusarium.
Penicillium
Like Fusarium, Removing every last bit of Penicillium is not essential as the remaining mold poses no harm. So materials don't need to be ripped out. They can be painted over.
Alternaria
Again, like the last two. There is no need to rip out materials and do an total renovation. Once the mold has been killed. The mold is harmless. It can be wiped away and the area painted over.
Why Is Removing Mold Important?
Dark and damp corners create the perfect environment for mold growth, which can endanger health and safety. Given that mold is a type of fungus, it produces spores to propagate. Inhaling high levels of these spores can be detrimental to one’s health. This is why it’s crucial to eliminate mold.
If mold is present within your home, it is essential to promptly contact a mold inspector and removal professional. This can help keep both you and your pets safe from potential health hazards. Employing the services of a certified mold inspector ensures that mold colonies in your home are handled efficiently, even in difficult-to-detect areas. Professional mold removal services also prioritize your safety, and certified individuals or companies will wear protective gear such as goggles, gloves, and respirators, so you need not worry.
