Our Mold Remediation Process

Mold remediation is not a simple cleaning task – it’s a precise process that requires expertise to ensure the mold is fully removed and doesn’t spread to other areas of the property. That’s why you need an experienced company like Voda Cleaning & Restoration. If mold remediation is not done correctly, it can lead to the spread of mold spores, worsening the problem. Our process is thorough, methodical, and designed to restore your property safely.

Here’s our mold remediation process:

Mold Testing & Mold Inspection

We begin with a detailed inspection of your property to identify visible mold growth and detect hidden moisture sources that may be fueling the mold. Mold testing may be performed to determine the type and extent of the mold, helping us develop a targeted remediation plan.

Containment

To prevent mold spores from spreading during the remediation process, we contain the affected area. We use plastic sheeting and tape to seal off rooms and may employ negative air pressure to ensure that mold spores are contained in the affected area.

Air Filtration

Using HEPA filters and air scrubbers, we clean the air of harmful spores and particulates. This step is essential to maintain air quality during the process and prevent the further spread of mold.

Mold Removal

Different materials require different methods of mold removal. Non-porous materials can often be cleaned, while porous materials (like drywall, carpets, or insulation) may need to be replaced. We use specialized cleaning agents and antimicrobials to eliminate the mold.

Restoration and Prevention

The final step is to address the root cause of the mold. We use moisture meters and infrared cameras to find hidden water sources and repair any water damage. We may also install dehumidifiers or improve ventilation systems to prevent future mold growth. A final inspection and air quality testing ensure that the property is safe and mold-free.

Who Pays for Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation costs are often covered by homeowners insurance if the mold is the result of a sudden, accidental event such as a burst pipe or a water heater leak. However, if the mold is the result of neglected maintenance (e.g., a leaky roof or plumbing issue that wasn’t addressed), the homeowner may be responsible for the cost.

Mold Remediation Cost

The cost of mold remediation in Phoenix can range from $2.50 to $20 per square foot, depending on various factors such as:

• Extent of Mold Infestation: Larger infestations typically require more time and resources, leading to higher costs.
• Type of Mold: Some molds, such as black mold, require more specialized treatment, affecting the cost.
• Location of Mold: Mold in hard-to-reach places like attics or crawl spaces may increase labor and equipment costs.
• Source of Moisture: Addressing the source of the moisture that caused the mold may add to the cost, especially if plumbing or structural repairs are needed.
• Material Contamination: If mold has affected building materials like drywall or flooring, they may need to be replaced, increasing the cost.

FAQ

Mold Remediation vs Mold Removal

Mold removal refers to the act of physically removing mold and mold-infested materials from the property. It’s a part of the larger process of mold remediation, which includes removal, cleaning, and taking steps to eliminate the root causes of mold growth to prevent it from coming back. Mold remediation ensures that the environment is safe and mold-free, while mold removal focuses solely on the elimination of visible mold.

When is Mold Remediation Required?

Mold remediation is necessary when visible mold growth is present or when there is a suspected source of moisture fueling mold growth. If mold is spreading throughout your property or the moisture issue has been ongoing, it’s essential to act quickly. Mold remediation helps to eliminate the mold and stop future growth, ensuring a healthy living environment.

How Long Does Mold Remediation Take?

Mold remediation typically takes between one to five days, depending on the extent of the infestation. In more severe cases, it may take longer, sometimes up to several weeks, to fully restore the property to a mold-free condition. The timeline will depend on factors such as the size of the affected area, the type of mold, and the necessary repairs.
