How Mold Problems Are Addressed
Mold remediation is the process of addressing mold growth in a property — not just removing what's visible, but identifying the conditions that allowed it to grow. Each property requires an appropriate plan based on the conditions found, and not every project follows exactly the same process.
At Aegis, our approach follows professional remediation principles: identify the affected areas, find the moisture source, contain the work area, remove affected materials when necessary, clean, and control moisture.
The Remediation Process
Identify Affected Areas
We inspect the property to determine where mold is present and the extent of the affected areas.
Identify Moisture Sources
Finding and addressing the moisture source is essential — mold will return if moisture isn't corrected.
Containment
Containment barriers and negative air pressure help prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas.
Removing Affected Materials
When necessary, mold-damaged materials like drywall or insulation are removed following appropriate protocols.
Professional Cleaning
Affected structural surfaces are professionally cleaned using appropriate methods to address residual contamination.
Moisture Control & Drying
Drying equipment and moisture control help bring the property back to appropriate moisture levels and prevent cross-contamination.
Final Project Review
We review the completed work and discuss any next steps, including post-remediation considerations when appropriate.
Post-Remediation Considerations
After remediation, it's important to confirm that moisture has been brought under control and that the conditions that allowed mold to grow have been corrected. Post-remediation testing can help verify that conditions have improved. We can discuss whether this is appropriate for your property.
Each property is different. The exact remediation approach depends on the extent of growth, the materials affected, and the moisture source. We develop an appropriate plan based on what we find during inspection.
