Avoid disturbing growth, save useful documentation and, if you can do so safely, stop the water.

Call (844) 352-3560
  1. Stop the water safely. Have a repair arranged or shut the leaky fixture off. Keep clear of wet electrical equipment and standing water.
  2. Limit access. If possible, leave the door closed. Keep visible growth out of reach of children and pets.
  3. Avoid spreading particles. Without containment, avoid sanding, scraping or brushing mold. Turn off HVAC equipment that may contain mold.
  4. Photograph the damage. Make a record of visible growth, damaged belongings and the leak before anything is moved. Check with the insurer about required records.

Health and safety

Mold Removal Safety in Greater Worcester Properties

Disturbing affected materials can send dust and mold spores into clean rooms, making containment important.

Hidden Materials Can Stay Damp

A dry-looking surface can hide wet framing, insulation or subfloor. The affected area is clearer with moisture readings.

Mold Spores Can Spread

Particles can escape when you pull carpet or cut drywall. Negative air pressure and HEPA filtration help limit movement.

Color Does Not Measure Risk

People use black mold and toxic mold as search terms. You cannot judge mold risk by color, the CDC says.

Some People Face More Risk

For some people, mold may trigger asthma and allergy symptoms. The CDC identifies people with lung disease, weak immune systems or asthma as being at greater risk.

Step by step

Your Mold Remediation Process in Greater Worcester

These mold remediation steps follow this order: assess the area, contain it, remove damaged material, clean, dry and verify the work, then take containment down.

  1. Mold Inspection and Moisture Mapping

    To trace affected materials and the moisture source, use a moisture meter and, where helpful, a thermal imaging camera.

  2. Containment and Air Filtration

    Use poly sheeting to create a containment barrier. To limit particles entering clean rooms, negative air pressure works alongside an air filtration device called a HEPA air scrubber.

  3. Removal of Damaged Materials

    Workers make use of protective equipment. Drywall removal is one possible demolition task when damaged porous materials need removal.

  4. Surface Cleaning and Drying

    Remaining non-porous surfaces are cleaned using damp wiping along with a HEPA vacuum. Use moisture readings, a dehumidifier and air movers to guide drying.

  5. Final Cleaning and Verification

    An independent assessor may use clearance testing, air sampling or a visual check for post-remediation verification.
