CAN MOLD BE HARMFUL?
UNDERSTANDING THE MOLD REMEDIATION PROCESS.
UNDERSTANDING THE MOLD REMEDIATION PROCESS.
Mold is omnipresent in our world. We breathe mold spores and other airborne particulates into our lungs every time we go outside. Reactions to these mold spores are very case and individual-specific. The most commonly reported reactions to mold spores are allergenic. However, some types of molds can produce mycotoxins during the growth stage. Responses to these types of molds can be more severe depending on the individual's immune system and exposure levels to the mold. When mold growth occurs inside a home or office, the concentration levels of mold spores in the air can become considerably elevated. This can cause a structure to become unsafe to occupy until Mold Inspection and Mold Testing have been performed.

Step 1 - Hire Environmental Special Projects to perform a Mold Inspection of your Areas of Concern or a Complete Structure Inspection to gather information & conduct mold testing to determine the scope of work to be included in the Protocol.
Step 2 - ESP will email the Mold Remediation Protocol to you & your MRC within three business days.
Step 3 - Your Mold Remediation Contractor will perform the mold remediation project per the specifications outlined in the Protocol.
Step 4 - ESP will perform a Post Clearance Inspection after remediation activities are completed to verify ALL mold impacted building materials have been removed. All building materials are dry, (1) air sample & (1) surface sample will be taken per containment.
Step 5 - Once the inspection/samples have PASSED & the homeowner has provided proof that repairs have been taken care of to the moisture source that was the causation of the mold, you will receive the CMDR signed by ESP and the Mold Remediation Contractor.
WHY DO MOLD TESTING?

WHY DO MOLD TESTING?
A surface sample is taken by swab or tape lift from a visually impacted area(s) to prove or disprove mold growth. If mold growth is detected, the sample will identify the type or types of mold growth in that specific area, and this area will be included in the Mold Remediation Protocol. Air samples are taken to determine if mold growth is impacting the air quality inside the structure. The air sample is examined at the laboratory to detect any elevated levels of mold spores in the air and is compared to the outside baseline air sample. An air & surface sample is required to be taken inside each containment at the Post Remediation Clearance Inspection.
