Our Steps to Mold Remediation

How Mold Eliminators Keeps Your Home Mold-Free

Toxic mold can be a complex and dangerous problem to treat. Some of the basic facts any homeowner should know when dealing with mold include:

• The key to mold control is moisture control.
• If mold is a problem in your home, you should clean up the mold promptly and fix the water problem as soon as possible.



It's critical to dry water-damaged areas and items in 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.

If a mold issue has grown severe enough that you require our help, here is what you can expect from the Mold Eliminators:

• We will be working with you to determine when we will be on-site to complete our work.
• All of our workers are trained in mold remediation. Each has completed an extensive OSHA-required medical evaluation and has worker's compensation insurance provided by Mold Eliminators.
• We do not subcontract our remediation work.
• You will be provided with a list of contacts that you can call if you should have any questions that cannot be addressed on site.
• The work that the Mold Eliminators will provide will only be the work items as approved and as listed in the bid, or what is known as the scope of work.
• Any modifications to work will need to be approved and listed on a Change Order Form and signed by all parties.
• The remediation work will be performed inside a negative pressure containment equipped with HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filtered air scrubbers.
• This will contain mold and mold spore disturbances and keep them from spreading to other parts of your home that are not included in the scope of work.
• After the remediation work is complete, this containment will need to remain in place until clearance results are achieved.
• A final clearance test is typically performed at the end of the remediation activities.
• There are occasions when this test does not pass clearance the first time.
• If this is the case, Mold Eliminators will return to the containment area and perform additional remediation activities, such as wiping surfaces, scrubbing of air, or more removal, if needed.
• If clearance fails a second time, the insurance company or the original testing firm should return and perform a further investigation to determine the cause of such failures.
• It is likely that the scope of work will need to be modified due to items not included in the original laboratory recommendations.
• After clearance tests are run, most test results are received within three days. Our company is not involved in the testing portion of your job. A third-party firm hired by yourself or by your insurance company does this.
• Between the end of remediation and the return of clearance results, someone from our company will stop by your home periodically to check the containment and equipment.
• After clearance is received, we will return to your home or business to remove the containment and equipment.
• We will keep you updated on your progress and any changes or additional information that might develop as the job progresses.
• Upon final clearance test and receipt of payment, if requested, we will provide a bound document for your records outlining all phases of the job.
