Mold Remediation

Definition

Mold remediation is the process of identifying, containing, removing, and preventing mold growth in buildings. Professional remediation follows industry standards (IICRC S520) and includes: assessment and inspection, containment to prevent spore spread, air filtration using HEPA equipment, removal of mold-contaminated materials, cleaning of salvageable items, drying to address moisture sources, and preventive treatments. Remediation differs from simple mold removal by addressing the underlying moisture problem to prevent recurrence.
