Like It Never Happened

Your home is your sanctuary, and when something disturbs this sense of security, the top priority is to restore your residence as quickly as possible. Though this is often the sort of thing that is easier said than done. Especially in the case of biohazard contamination, water damage, violent crime, or a mold infestation.

In a time like this, you can rest assured in the professionalism, discretion, and empathy of the Affordable Remediation’s technicians. Our top priority is to deal with the problem promptly and according to your wishes.

In many of these cases, the type of problem and severity will greatly influence the remediation measures we need to perform. This includes but is not limited to the following things.

Highest Standards In Cleaning . Period!

Got Mold? Say Goodbye Forever!

LIVING IN A MOLD-FREE ENVIRONMENT

The goal of remediation is to eliminate visible mold sources, clean the surface, wipe down surfaces, apply antimicrobial treatment, dispose of items which cannot be cleaned, clean and treat ventilation systems, and achieve a successful clearance test. In order to accomplish this, Affordable Remediation & Emergency Services provides thermal imaging, mold inspection, testing, and moisture mapping services which permits home owners, building owners, and insurance companies to identify the severity of mold symptoms and the extent of water damage.

Affordable Remediation’s technicians have extensive training and experience handling indoor mold problems of every scale. We have the tools and equipment to accurately test for the presence of mold in a policy holder’s home or business. We also have access to professional-grade equipment and cleaning products for safe mold remediation.

Any mold-infested materials will be carefully removed to prevent accidental exposure or spread of mold spores and dangerous mycotoxins. We will then dispose of the contaminated materials according to all pertinent codes and regulations.

Professional Mold Remediation

Awareness of the threat posed by indoor mold infestation continues to grow in the public consciousness. Especially when it comes to the severe health hazards and potential physical damage that can be caused by Stachybotrys chartarum or “Toxic Black Mold.”

Though even less toxic mold strains can still pose a serious health threat. Especially for people who are genetically predisposed to chronic inflammation conditions, or those with respiratory health conditions. In some of these instances, the physical mold colony itself can cause damage to the structure of the building, while airborne mold spores and dangerous mycotoxins fill the air people breathe.

Adding to this concern is the fact that many government agencies have implemented or are in the process of implementing mold regulations and disclosure requirements. This can impact property values, as well as liability concerns. Especially when it comes to the real estate processes surrounding the sale of commercial properties.

Most of the time, an indoor mold problem is linked to moisture issues, such as a leaky pipe, recent flooding, water in a basement, damaged gutters, or a roof leak. Though even things like an overtaxed air conditioning system or persistent humidity problems can be enough in the summer months to let an indoor mold problem flourish.

Common Areas To Find Mold

Bathrooms

Especially those with outdated ventilation systems

Basements

Water pools easily in basements. Especially in buildings with foundation problems, roof leaks, or without a functioning sump pump or floor drain.

Window Frames

Cool air can cause condensation to build up and run down the glass to the frame where it pools. As it saturates the wood, the wet surface is ripe for mold colonization.

Ventilation Systems

Inadequate ventilation systems and those with a compromised fan can leave lingering moisture in the vents, which can adhere to mold spores

Plumbing

Here again, the persistent presence of water is attractive to mold spores looking to colonize. In some cases, pipes carrying cold or hot water can add to condensation and humidity problems in seldom-seen areas. Especially with porous materials near a building’s primary wet wall.

Drywall & Subflooring

These areas can be prone to mold colonization after a water incident. Especially in basements or lower levels that have suffered water damage in the past.

Behind Wallpaper

The adhesive behind wallpaper can serve as a nutrient source for certain strains of mold. Especially in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other areas where water is present.

Carpeting

Humidity and lingering moisture can sometimes turn the porous nature of a carpet into a prime host for an active mold colony. This is even more likely to occur on a lower floor or basement bedrooms or homes that have seen water damage. Thicker pile carpets are also increasingly prone to mold issues. One of the compounding problems with moldy carpet is that it can easily spread disturbed mold spores when walking on or vacuumed.

The Affordable Remediation Sanitization Process

Whatever the severity of the biohazard contamination or mold infestation, you can trust that we have the trained technicians and commercial-grade equipment to handle it. There are multiple phases to our process, each is designed to safely and effectively clean the site to the highest standards.

Step 1: Perform A Comprehensive Site Inspection

Inspection consists of determining the source and severity of the problem. This includes air swab and tape lift sampling, borescope and visual inspection, moisture mapping, thermal imaging, relative humidity check, and building analysis. Our technicians use an experienced eye and industry best practices to quickly assess the severity of the problem. This might also include diagnostics to determine if any contamination has spread to other areas. This will all be factored into a comprehensive remediation strategy.

Step 2: Employ The Necessary Level Of Safety Measures

Once we have assessed the severity of the biohazard or mold problem, our technicians will employ state-of-the-art protective measures. This includes putting on the appropriate degree of personal protective equipment. In some cases, we might also seal off affected areas to ensure that the spread of mold spores and other pathogens cannot spread to contaminate another area.

Step 3: Lab Samples By Independent 3rd Parties

We take both Air samples, and swab tests from affected areas. Samples are overnighted to a lab where they are analyzed by certified 3rd party microbiologists. Lab reports are then emailed to us, the inspector as well as the client, at which time the development of a remediation scope of work can begin.

Step 4: Report Analysis

A detailed report including source of problem, severity of problem, recommendations for remediation, scope of work, repair and associated cost are then forwarded to the you or the client with a follow up call to confirm receipt and discuss any questions. Typically we can schedule work within 24-48 hours.

Step 5: Safely Remove & Dispose Of All Contaminated Materials

Remediation begins when a fully-certified remediation team arrives with a project manager. This team carefully follows the detailed scope of work included within the report. Our technicians will use industry best practices to safely remove all contaminated materials from the site ensuring that the contamination does not spread to other areas. We will then dispose of them properly according to EPA regulations and all other pertinent codes. Once the remediation project is complete, our team performs a quality control clearance test. This test is to ensure that our team completed the project as well as to verify remediation success. A third party clearance company may be used upon request from the client.

Step 6: Sanitize & Deodorize

Once all contaminated materials have been removed and the site has been physically cleaned up, we will use professional-strength cleaning products to sanitize all affected surfaces throughout the contaminated areas. This includes eliminating all pathogenic risks. We then use commercial-grade deodorizers to eliminate any lingering odors.

Step 7: Recommend A Possible Preventive Plan

In some situations, like water damage or mold remediation, our technicians can recommend a preventive plan to help prevent the problem from recurring. This might include making necessary repairs to other areas of the property, or strategically placing dehumidifiers or sump pumps to prevent the buildup of water and humidity in the future.

Step 8: Professional Documentation

After completing the cleanup and remediation process, our technicians will provide you with the necessary documentation to verify what was contaminated, that it was removed and disposed of property as well as any other necessary information. This might be key for meeting EPA, OSHA, and other pertinent regulations. Insurance providers for multi-family residential and commercial properties typically require documentation to prevent delays in paying a claim.

Professional Documentation & Certification Upon Completion

Many state and local laws require some type of documentation after a biohazard contamination event. This might also be a requirement of your home or business insurance provider. Landlords and rental property managers often face intense scrutiny after something like an unattended death, sewage backup, or a ruptured pipe.

At Affordable Remediation, we can provide you with the proper documentation to verify that whatever the biohazard was, that it was professionally remediated to all pertinent standards. This will help streamline any possible insurance claims or clear any concerns about the safety of a rental property.
