First steps

How to Prepare for Mold Remediation Services in 62255

Preserve helpful records, keep from disturbing growth and stop water only when safe to do so.

Call (844) 352-3560
  1. Stop the water safely. Arrange repairs or turn off the fixture that is leaking. Avoid standing water as well as electrical equipment that is wet.
  2. Limit access. Keep the door shut if possible. Keep children and pets away from visible growth.
  3. Avoid spreading particles. Never scrape or brush mold, or sand mold, without containment. If HVAC equipment might contain mold, shut the equipment off.
  4. Photograph the damage. Record the leak, visible growth and damaged items before anything moves. Ask the insurer which records it needs.

Health and safety

Mold Removal Safety in Greater St. Louis Properties

Containment is important to keep clean rooms from receiving mold spores and dust when affected materials are disturbed.

Some People Face More Risk

Some people experience allergy or asthma symptoms triggered by mold. The CDC identifies people with lung disease, weak immune systems or asthma as being at greater risk.

Mold Spores Can Spread

Cutting drywall or pulling carpet can release particles. To reduce movement, use negative air pressure together with HEPA filtration.

Hidden Materials Can Stay Damp

Your insulation, subfloor or framing could still be wet despite a surface appearing dry. Use moisture readings to identify the affected area.

Color Does Not Measure Risk

Search terms include toxic mold and black mold. The CDC explains that the color of mold does not reveal the risk.

What you get

Selecting Your Lenzburg Mold Remediation Company

Request a Clearly Defined Scope of Work

Look for affected materials, containment, drying, cleanup and repairs in the scope, along with possible reasons for price changes.

Use Independent Clearance Testing

For post-remediation verification, if required, use an independent assessor to avoid a removal company assessing the work it completed.

Start With the Moisture Source

Ask about the approach to finding and correcting a humidity, condensation or leak problem.

Step by step

Your Mold Remediation Process in Greater St. Louis

The mold remediation steps start with assessment and containment, followed by damaged material removal, cleaning, drying and verification, before containment comes down.

  1. Mold Inspection and Moisture Mapping

    A moisture meter and, when useful, a thermal imaging camera help trace the moisture source and affected materials.

  2. Containment and Air Filtration

    Use poly sheeting to create a containment barrier. A HEPA air scrubber is an air filtration device that, with negative air pressure, limits particle movement into clean rooms.

  3. Removal of Damaged Materials

    Workers make use of protective equipment. Drywall removal or other demolition of damaged porous materials may be needed.

  4. Surface Cleaning and Drying

    A HEPA vacuum and damp wiping clean remaining non-porous surfaces. Use moisture readings, a dehumidifier and air movers to guide drying.

  5. Final Cleaning and Verification

    Post-remediation verification may include a visual check, clearance testing or air sampling by an independent assessor.
