Attic Mold Removal Process
Step 1: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
A Project Manager carefully inspects the visible mold in your attic in Westport to create a plan for removal and remediation.
Step 2: Mold Containment
The first step for proper attic mold remediation in Westport, CT is to set up mold containment to prevent the spread of mold spores to unaffected areas of your property while work is being done. This is completed by setting up physical barriers and negative air chambers to isolate the area.
Step 3: Air Filtration
Using air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, and other filtration equipment, we remove microscopic mold spores out of the air which will prevent them from spreading to other areas of your home or recontaminate the area being remediated.
Step 4: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
Depending on the building material, mold may be removed by applying antifungal and antimicrobial treatments, or complete removal of the affected material. This step depends on the severity of your attic mold issue as to whether or not building materials are cleaned and restored, or disposed of.
Step 5: Cleaning Contents and Sanitizing
SERVPRO of Westport/Fairfield uses a variety of cleaning techniques and products to clean your furnishings and personal belongings. Since mold infestations also cause musty odors, we can also remove odors and provide deodorization using fogging equipment.
Step 6: Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may have been removed. The restoration step gets your home or business back to normal.
