Steps in the Mold Decontamination Process
Step 1: A consultant assesses the situation by collecting samples of the contaminant and analyzing air quality. Based on the findings, they recommend a decontamination plan or the removal of contaminated materials.
The approach depends on the extent of contamination and the size of the affected surfaces.
Step 2: Before starting decontamination, we isolate the affected areas and shut down the heating/ventilation system.
We install a HEPA-filtered negative air machine to prevent cross-contamination and wear all required respiratory and personal protective equipment.
Step 3: We clean contaminated non-porous and semi-porous materials through vacuuming, wiping, and abrasion.
If mold is only on the surface, porous materials may be cleaned. If mold has penetrated the structure—such as inside walls, on structural wood, or insulation—those materials are safely removed.
We remove materials beyond the visibly affected area, expanding the zone by approximately 30 cm.
Step 4: We clean the heating and ventilation system, then thoroughly clean the work area and all tools used. Removed materials are disposed of safely.
Step 5: An inspection is conducted to confirm that all mold has been removed and the air quality meets optimal standards.
