What is involved in the actual mould remediation process?
• Understanding the extent of the area to be remediated. This area was specified in the mold remediation process portion of the mold inspection report, and the on-site crew first examines the contaminated area and relates it to the plan to ensure they fully understand exactly what is to be remediated. • Containing the contaminated area – protective polyethylene sheeting (if required) is installed to ensure that mould spores disturbed during the remediation process cannot disperse throughout the rest of the structure. A de-contamination chamber may be set up at this time for larger projects. All HVAC vents leading to or from the area are sealed to prevent mold spores from circulating through this system. Negative air pressure is created with HEPA filters in the air movers to ensure all disturbed spores are vented to the outside, and not into the rest of the structure. • An initial fogging of the contaminated area is performed – This knocks down the air-borne spore levels and is the firs
