Mold Remediation

If you have recently had a home inspection where mold was found, Northeast can help to remediate this problem.

Our Mold Remediation Process

Northeast does not perform any mold testing.

A project manager will review your consultants or engineer's scope of work in order to provide you an estimate.

Northeast Environmental's crew sets up a containment around the area of the house with the mold problem. A negative air machine is installed within the containment area to prevent the mold spores from spreading to non mold contaminated areas in the home. Anything that contains mold is removed; sheetrock, carpeting, furniture, etc. All surfaces are vacuumed with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter vacuum. This vacuum removes and traps the mold spores. All remaining surfaces are wiped down with an anti-fungal solution.

Prevention

The best treatment is prevention, when possible.

• Moisture control is key.
• Repair any leaky plumbing or other sources of water.
• Keep indoor humidity to 30-60% to decrease mold growth.
• Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
• Mold is not prejudiced; whether your house was built in 1913 or 2013, if you have a moisture problem, you are likely to find mold.
• Keep property clean
• Clean and dry water damage areas within 48 hours
• Dirt and Dust are very condusive to mold growth
• Use dehumidifier in your basement (cool floors can build up moisture)
