Mold Remediation

At On Target Cleaning and Restoration we have IICRC certified technicians that are experienced and trained in the removal and remediation of any severity of mold or mildew. We also work side by side with Industrial Hygienists to keep record of the quality of the air in and around the affected areas before and after the remediation process. This helps to assure us and you of a successful remediation.

Our mold remediation process includes…

  • Working with your insurance company to handle any claims and see if you are covered, so you don’t have to.
  • A thorough inspection of your home or office to evaluate the extent of damage and growth, including air samples taken by an industrial hygienist.
  • The setup of containment to keep any further contamination and spreading of mold spores.
  • The use of air scrubbers to set a negative air space within the containment area, as well as cleaning the air inside the containment zone via a HEPA-rated filter.
  • The removal and cleaning of any personal items or contents that have been affected by mold.
  • The safe and controlled removal of any affected drywall or structure.
  • The vacuuming of mold spores off of any surfaces, with a HEPA-rated vacuum.
  • Sanding of any structural supports to the building that have not been structurally compromised.
  • The application of a mold sealant to prevent any further complications or growth of mold.
  • Rebuild of any demo done during the remediation.

We know that mold can be a serious health hazard and take all necessary precautions to protect you and from the dangers it can present. We make sure to abide by and follow all IICRC guidelines, state requirements, and OSHA standards to provide a healthy environment for everyone involved.

More About Mold

Whether you are indoors or outdoors, microscopic mold spores are everywhere. Most we live with everyday with no side effects, however some molds can be extremely harmful to our respiratory systems and even cause long term health problems.

Here are a few facts you need to know about mold…

  • You will never be able to completely remove all traces from mold within a space, outdoor or indoor.
  • Mold spores like moisture and need it to grow. If given the opportunity they can grow at an exceeding fast rate.
  • Mold needs a food source to grow and is often found on things like…
    • Window frames
    • Caulking
    • Plumbing sealant
    • Cabinets and furniture
    • Drywall and subflooring
    • Fabrics
    • Wallpaper or painted walls
    • Wet walls
    • Carpeting
    • Water-damaged mattresses
  • Typical areas in the home that mold can be found would be areas given to have higher humidity or access to water, including bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and crawlspaces.
  • Before any kind of remediation can begin, the source of moisture must be eliminated, or the mold could return. I.e. leaks, inefficient HVAC unit allowing higher than normal humidity readings, improper airflow, etc.

Finding mold in your home is never a good experience and can even been frightening. It’s understandable that anyone would want it removed as quickly as possible, however, attempting to remediate a mold issue yourself can be a dangerous task and can even cause more damage and danger to you and your families or employees, if done improperly.
