Many companies claim that they know how to remediate mold, however, what they do is they come into your home and make things worse by spraying the mold affected areas with chemicals, and then use blowers to spread spores in nearby areas and that's it. But that's not how it works, according to the EPA, even dead mold causes the same health problems that live mold does. Mold cannot be removed solely by cleaning the affected surfaces. For successful mold remediation, the mold contaminated material must be physically removed followed by the proper cleaning steps. In many cases, the mold is hidden within walls cavities or in inaccessible areas where it cannot just be cleaned, fogged, or sprayed. That’s when the removal of the actual contaminated material is crucial.
If you suspect that you have mold in your home, and that you or someone in your family has been exposed to mold and or microbial growth, and you have hired an industrial hygienist or microbiologist to assess the problem and a report has been issued by your consultant, we will carefully review the report and understand it. Then an experienced member of our team will visit your home or business in a timely fashion, to evaluate the mold situation and/or HVAC system(s) cleaning needs, and will provide you with verbal and written information regarding the project and associated costs. Subsequently, Better Breathing Environmental will then work closely with your consultant and will adhere to their report and will base the project on their recommendations to achieve a thorough and successful mold remediation and HVAC system cleaning following their protocols. To ensure that the remediation plan is complete, post-remediation test by your IEP is always recommended.
