Mold Abatement

Following is a generalized mold abatement protocol, 

  1. Critical barriers are installed on all doors and window in the containment area.
  2. Poly sheetings are installed on floors. 
  3. Poly sheetings are installed on walls that are not going to be treated.
  4. Single stage decontamination units are installed at the entrance to the containment areas.  
  5. AC & heating vents and intakes are sealed off.
  6. Negative air machines equipped with HEPA filter are installed & operated in the containment areas to achieve negative air pressure & scrub the air during remediation process.
  7. All soft and porous materials such as sheetrock & wall insulation are cut out and removed in sealed plastic bags. 
  8. Normally, at least two feet of clean sheetrock beyond the contaminated areas are cut out to remove all traces of contamination. 
  9. All waste are sealed in plastic bags and disposed.
  10. Once the wall cavities are exposed, the affected surfaces are treated first with microbial disinfectant (Fiberlock IAQ 2500) to eradicate any existing mold. 
  11. Light wire brushing & HEPA vacuuming are performed next inside the wall cavities and wood framing. 
  12. A mold resistant coating (Fiberlock IAQ 6000) are also applied to the affected areas to encapsulate surfaces and inhibit mold growth from recurring in the future.
