SURFACES WHERE MOLD CAN GROW

Molds can be found anywhere; they grown on virtually any substance, providing moisture is present. Molds can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and of course foods. Mold may hidden in places such as behind dry wall, wall paper, or paneling, the top of ceilings tiles, the underside of carpet and pads, etc. Other possible locations of hidden mold include areas inside walls around pipes with leaks or condensation, the surface of walls behind furniture (where condensation forms), inside duct work, and in roof materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or poor insulation).

FOUR SEASONS RESTORATION MOLD REMEDIATION STEPS:

STEP 1:

Repair the water problem. This will help prevent new mold spores from growing.

STEP 2:

Isolate the contaminated area. Close all doors and windows between the contaminated area and other rooms of the home for both levels. For the level 2 remediation, also cover all doorways and any other openings with 6 mil polyethylene sheeting. Seal all seams of the sheeting with duct tape and slips openings in the sheeting to enter the contaminated area.

STEP 3:

Suppress Dust. Do this by misting the contaminated areas.

STEP 4:

Remove materials. Remove all wet and mold-damaged porous materials. Check with your supervisor and reference Environmental Protection Agency with EPA.

STEP 5:

Place materials in plastic bags. Discard all wet and moldy materials in plastic bags that are least 6 mil thick, double-bag the materials, and tie the bags closed. The bags can disposed of as regular trash once the outside bags are wiped with a damp cloth and detergent solution prior to leaving the contamination area.

STEP 6:

Clean. All non-porous materials and wood surfaces that are moldy must be cleaned. Use a wire brush on all moldy surfaces and then wipe the area with disposable wipes. To dispose of as a regular trash, discard wipes in 6 mil polyethylene bags, double-bag tie closed. Finally, scrub and moldy surface using a damp cloth and detergent solution until all mold has been removed and rinsed cleaned surfaces with clean water.

STEP 7:

Clean the affected area and egress. The process for level 1 differs from level 2 at this point. For level 1, clean with a damp cloth and/or mop with detergent solution. Level 2 requires you to vacuum all surfaces with a HEPA vacuum, and then clean all surfaces with a damp cloth and/or mop and detergent solution. Discards wipes as described above.

STEP 8:

Visibility Test. All areas should visibly free of contamination and debris-no dust and dirt means no mold.

STEP 9:

Dry. Cleaned materials should be dried to allow leftover moisture to evaporated. To speed up the drying process, use fans, dehumidifiers or raise the indoor air temperature.

STEP 10:

Replace. All materials that were moved should be replace or repaired.
