Mold Remediation
Mold is found inside every building and is a part of a natural and healthy ecosystem. Mold becomes a problem when moisture remains in a structure for a short period. Mold growth may develop on moist and porous surfaces within 24 to 48 hours. That is why it is crucial to locate the moisture source to prevent mold from growing. If you find visible black mold call Projekt Property Restoration to evaluate and assess where the growth is, and quickly remediate the affected areas.

Cleanup and removal methods
- Before mold removal, the area is assessed to ensure safety and to ensure that we use the correct remedial measures.
- Contain the affected area and obtain negative pressure.
- Remove any contaminated building materials.
- Wire brush studs or sanding any solid wood surfaces with visible microbial growth.
- Removal of any settled mold spores from non-porous surfaces by wiping and scrubbing with an EPA-approved antifungal agent.
- After materials have been dried and contaminated materials have been removed, HEPA vacuuming is used to collect any remaining debris and dust.
- Contaminated debris is sealed and discarded at a construction waste.
Equipment Used
- Dehumidifiers reduce the humidity, which in turn, increases the rate of drying.
- Air scrubbers are portable filtration systems. They draw in air from the surrounding environment and pass it through a series of filters. These filters efficiently remove particles from the air to help improve indoor air quality.
- HEPA Vacuums are High-Efficiency Particulate Air vacuums which contains filters that are capable of trapping extremely small, micron-sized particles.
- Infrared Camera is an advanced tool that is mainly used to efficiently in detecting water leaks in places like ceilings, behind walls and in other places where accessibility is minimal. This eventually determines the areas where mold is likely to thrive thus enabling earlier preventive measures or proper ways for repair.
- Moisture Meter One of the major causes of mold growth is high level of moisture. It’s important to determine the moisture level of your house so that you can avert mold and mildew growth for good.
