What To Do First
Follow these steps in order. Tap each item when it's done.
What NOT To Do
These are the most common mistakes that worsen damage and complicate your insurance claim.
DO NOT:Don't bleach mold on porous surfaces
Bleach doesn't penetrate wood and drywall — it bleaches the surface while leaving the root structure (hyphae) alive. Mold returns.
DO NOT:Don't seal mold behind new materials
Painting or drywalling over mold is not remediation. Active growth will continue and eventually break through.
DO NOT:Don't attempt large-scale removal without containment
Removing mold-affected drywall or insulation without negative pressure containment releases billions of spores into the living space.
DO NOT:Don't ignore a musty smell
Musty odor is a reliable indicator of active mold growth even when it's not visible. It warrants professional inspection.
Not sure if something is safe to do? Call us at (757) 285-5963 before acting. We'd rather answer a question than have you make the damage worse.
Our Mold Removal Process
Every job follows the same documented process — no surprises, no shortcuts. Here's exactly what happens from first call to final sign-off.
Inspection and air quality testing
We conduct a thorough visual inspection and moisture survey. Air samples may be taken to identify mold species and concentration.
Containment setup
Negative pressure containment using polyethylene barriers and HEPA-filtered air scrubbers prevents cross-contamination during removal.
HEPA air scrubbing
Commercial-grade HEPA air scrubbers run continuously during remediation to capture airborne spores.
Removal of affected materials
Mold-contaminated drywall, insulation, and framing are removed, bagged, and disposed of to regulation.
Antimicrobial surface treatment
All exposed structural surfaces are treated with EPA-registered antimicrobial products that inhibit future mold growth.
Clearance testing and documentation
Post-remediation air sampling verifies the area is clear before containment is removed. A clearance report is provided for your records and insurer.
Documentation at every step. We photograph, log, and report every phase of the process — giving you a complete paper trail for your insurance carrier and your own records.
