Mold Removal in San Diego
Water Damage - Carpet & Structural Drying - Certified Mold Remediation - Trained & Certified
In sunny San Diego who would think mold could be an issue? Mold thrives from lack of air circulation in moist and most often dark areas. Most common areas are our bathrooms. If not ventilated by an exhaust fan or an open window, you will notice mold appears on your window sills, the areas caulked in a tub or shower enclosure and even the ceiling of the bathroom. This is commonly not hazardous and requires simple cleaning with Clorox bleach or other cleaning products. However, mold associated from a water leak, sewer leak or flooding needs immediate attention and at times professional testing from a mold specialist to make sure that the room is clear of any contaminates and the air you breathe is safe.
The first process with any flood once the water has been extracted is to take a moisture reading and find out what the moisture levels are. Certain levels of moisture and depending on the type of environment and how long it has been sitting in this environment, mold will probably germinate and grow on most surfaces. This can be walls, carpet, plywood floors, hardwood floors, baseboards, cement slabs etc. Once this has been determined the area is sealed by a “Containment Room” which is set up by our Emory technicians. By setting this containment room up, this allows Emory Flood & Restoration technicians to freely work while keeping the room sealed and not contaminating other areas of your home or San Diego business. Our highly trained technicians wear protective disposable clothing, gloves and respirators throughout the process. The containment room also helps keep the rest of your home cleaner from what we call “tear out” or you may also know it better as the “demolition process”. The contaminated materials are placed in plastic hazardous material bags and all other debris is removed from the job site. Once everything has been removed, Air Scrubbers and Dehumidifiers are placed within the area. This assists with the dry out period making the process go faster and more efficient. Once the area is completely dry Emory Flood Technicians come in and thoroughly clean the contaminated area with sanders, wire brushes and anti-microbial agents. Once the area is clean a mold specialist is called out to perform tests and determines if the mold has been completely removed from the contaminated area. Once cleared from the mold specialist the process has been completed and final touches of “put back” may continue. All “tear out” and “put back” is done by an Emory technician with years of experience specializing in this process.
