If you see spots of mold, have signs of chronic moisture and/or detect a musty odor in your home or business, you should contact a Mold Removal Atlanta company before you spend money on mold testing.

The company will give you a free evaluation of the situation and have the experience to tell you whether you have a problem or not. If they indeed do advise you to get further testing, you would then need to hire a certified mold assessment consultant to inspect and collect samples from the area for mold testing.

Mold Inspection and Remediation Companies

Both mold inspection and remediation companies must be licensed by the state to protect you and ensure the work is done according to accepted standards by companies in good standing with the state. Once the work is done, you will get a Certificate of Mold Remediation stating that your property has been successfully remediated.

Removing Mold Contaminated Materials

The mold assessment company will give you a protocol describing what work needs to be done and specifically the remediation company will need to do to cleanup the mold problem. That work generally consists of removing mold contaminated materials, using HEPA vacuums to remove mold spores, heavy cleaning and sanitizing of the area and sealing affected materials

Dehumidifiers

Dehumidifiers will also be used during remediation to remove the moisture that caused the mod to grow. HEPA air scrubbers will be used to continually remove mold spores from the air. All debris removed from the area will be protectively bagged and the outsides of the bags will be vacuumed before they are removed.

Cleanup and Disinfecting

When all the mold is removed and the cleanup and disinfecting has been completed, the inside of the containment area will be HEPA vacuumed and sealed, and air scrubbers will be used until the mold assessment consultant takes samples for clearance testing. If any part fails testing it will be reclined under the same containment. Once final clearance is given the containment is removed and the certificate of mold remediation is filled out by the consultant and the mold remediation company.
