Mold & Mildew Remediation

We do not recommend that you clean your mold by yourself. We stand by the EPA recommendation, and suggest, particularly in the case of larger or toxic jobs, that you find a qualified and certified professional for your mold remediation. While this suggestion may seem obvious-we are, after all, a mold remediation company in the business to make money-it is also a matter of your health. While we would love your business and guarantee your satisfaction, we stand by our suggestion that you fully remediate your mold problem, whether you use Cap City Restorations or another mold remediation company.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a company to remove your mold problem. It's a big decision, and you must hire someone you trust; at stake are the things most important to you: your health and your family's health; and probably your most important investment, your home or business.

It is imperative that you check the qualifications and certifications of any company you hire. In the next section, Cap City Restoration lists its credentials and affiliations. Regardless of whom you use, make sure you demand to see credentials when hiring a mold remediation company.

Our Mold Remediation Process

If you contact Cap City Restorations to rid your home or business of mold, the first thing a certified Cap City Restorations mold remediator will do is come to your home or business and assess and estimate the extent of the damage to your building. We will also define the source of moisture causing the mold problem. As we have stated several times, because of the conflict of interest, we will not test the mold; however, at this point, we will help you receive a scientific report from an independent, third-party mold testing company.

After you acquire the mold report, we will again communicate with you if you decide to contract us. We insist on the highest possible quality customer service of our technicians, and we will be sure to address all of your concerns and answer all of your questions concerning mold and the mold remediation process we have identified for your particular building.

After all questions have been answered and you have decided to hire us, we will first ensure that the water or humidity problem causing the mold is repaired and eliminated. This will ensure that the mold will not return once we have finished cleaning your problem. Remember, mold cannot grow where there is no water, but, if the cause is not eliminated, the mold will likely return.

The next step in the remediation process is to completely clean the mold and dry any water in the water-damaged areas. We do this by selecting the appropriate cleaning and drying methods for each customer's damaged goods and contaminated materials on a case-by-case basis.

We then begin the process of cleaning your building and ridding it of mold. Our technicians ensure proper containment procedures to protect all future building occupants by covering the affected area from ceiling to floor with polyethylene sheeting with a slit entry and covering flap. We maintain the area under negative pressure with a HEPA filtered fan unit. At this time, it is also necessary to block supply and return air vents within the containment area.

The next step is to carefully contain and remove moldy building materials by double bagging all materials in 6-mil polyethylene sheeting. It is imperative to package mold contaminated materials before removal from the contaminated area to minimize dispersion of mold spores throughout the building during the disposal process.

When we have finished the process and deemed the area clean and fit for living and/or working, we will test the area to make sure all of the mold is gone. Of course, at this point, you can hire a third-party tester again for the reasons we mentioned above, though we don't find it necessary at this point to use a third-party tester as the conflict of interest has been eliminated.

If the building receives a clean bill of health (and it will in almost all cases), you can rest assured that you are safe in your building, and you can breath easy.
