MOLD REMEDIATION

Professional Mold Remediation Services

Mold growth can pose serious risks to both property and health if not properly addressed. At STX Contracting, we provide expert mold remediation services that follow industry-leading standards similar to ANSI/IICRC S520. Our certified team uses advanced containment, removal, and prevention techniques to ensure your property is safe, clean, and mold-free.

Our Mold Remediation Process

Emergency Response & Initial Safety Measures

Mold spreads quickly in damp environments. Our rapid-response team:
✔ Identifies moisture sources fueling mold growth
✔ Assesses immediate safety concerns and structural risks
✔ Recommends temporary containment measures if necessary

Mold Assessment & Inspection

A thorough Mold Assessment is conducted to determine the extent of contamination, including:
✔ Visual inspection for mold growth on surfaces and within walls
✔ Moisture mapping and thermal imaging to locate hidden moisture
✔ Air and surface sampling (if needed) for mold spore identification
✔ Determination of affected materials and potential health risks

Restoration Work Plan Development

Based on the assessment, we create a Mold Remediation Work Plan outlining:
✔ Containment strategies and air quality control measures
✔ Specific removal techniques suited to affected materials
✔ Cleaning and disinfection procedures
✔ Drying methods to prevent mold recurrence

Communication & Progress Updates

We prioritize clear communication throughout the remediation process by providing:
✔ Regular updates on mold removal progress
✔ Detailed explanations of work being performed
✔ Coordination with property owners, insurance adjusters, and environmental specialists

Containment & Air Quality Control

To prevent cross-contamination, we establish mold containment zones using:
✔ Physical barriers (plastic sheeting and negative air pressure enclosures)
✔ HEPA air filtration devices (AFDs) to capture airborne mold spores
✔ Controlled entry/exit procedures to reduce spread

Mold Removal & Contaminated Material Disposal

Following ANSI/IICRC S520 guidelines, our certified team removes mold using:
✔ HEPA vacuuming and surface cleaning for non-porous materials
✔ Abrasive cleaning (soda blasting, sanding) for semi-porous materials
✔ Removal and safe disposal of contaminated drywall, insulation, and carpeting
✔ Application of EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments

Drying & Moisture Control

To eliminate conditions favorable for mold growth, we:
✔ Use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers
✔ Monitor moisture levels to ensure complete drying
✔ Repair or recommend corrections for leaks, humidity issues, and ventilation problems

Structural Cleaning & Content Restoration

We prioritize restoring materials when possible, using:
✔ HEPA vacuuming and disinfecting salvageable surfaces
✔ Mold-resistant encapsulation coatings on affected structural components
✔ Specialized cleaning for personal belongings, furniture, and HVAC systems

Post-Remediation Verification & Testing

After remediation, we conduct a final inspection to confirm the effectiveness of our work:
✔ Air and surface sampling (if required) to verify safe mold levels
✔ Final moisture readings to ensure a dry and stable environment
✔ Property walkthrough to ensure customer satisfaction

Preventative Recommendations & Final Report

To help prevent future mold issues, we provide:
✔ Recommendations for humidity control and ventilation improvements
✔ Guidance on routine inspections and moisture management
✔ A final remediation report detailing the work performed and testing results
