Mold removal requires a high level of care and should never be taken lightly.

  • Our mold remediation process includes complete structural drying, dehumidification, containment, decontamination, and disposal of contaminated materials.
  • Our specialists always wear protective clothing, which is either laundered or discarded after use.
  • Our experts wear gloves, goggles, and an N-95 mask to protect them against inhaling mold spores and prevent health issues.
  • We also recommend third-party air quality testing to confirm the removal of dangerous spores and guarantee your property is safe.
  • We pioneered mold guidelines in 2002 and contributed to the official industry Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation.
How It Works

BELFOR’s Commercial Mold Removal and Remediation Process

When you contact our mold remediation team for assistance, they will follow these steps:

  • Fix Any Moisture Problems: If you suspect a leak or another water issue has caused your mold problem, address this first. Mold needs moisture to grow, so if your establishment still has a water problem, it will be difficult to eliminate the mold. If mold issues occur in naturally damp areas like shower rooms, you may need to increase ventilation.
  • Isolate Moldy Areas: To prevent cross-contamination, isolate areas with mold from other parts of the building before starting demolition, cleaning, or drying. Airflow across moldy surfaces can spread mold spores throughout the building, increasing contamination.
  • Dispose Absorbent Materials: Remove mold-affected porous items, like carpet or furniture, as mold can linger in their fibers despite thorough cleaning.
  • Clean Remaining Mold: After removing highly affected materials like gypsum board, clean any remaining structures such as plywood subfloors. Remove all visible mold before applying an antimicrobial or biocide spray during a wet wipe. Note that products labeled “mold removal spray” do not actually remove mold, but they’re used for cleaning after mold has been physically removed.
  • Ensure A Thorough Drying Process: Complete the mold remediation with a thorough drying process. Use air movers and dehumidifiers, and check the dryness with moisture meters to ensure that all materials are fully dry.

Why Work with Us

Explore the Benefits of Our Mold Removal and Remediation Services

Here’s why you should consider professional mold removal and remediation services:

  • Proper Structural Drying: BELFOR uses commercial dehumidifiers and air purifiers to meet indoor air quality standards. This is crucial after flooding or a large leak because merely cleaning mold without completely drying the property can cause it to return due to leftover moisture.
  • Disaster Recovery: Trust our experts to professionally remove mold, as flood water may contain sewage, chemicals, and bacteria. Contaminated water damage and materials also require expert handling due to serious health risks and potential long-term problems.
  • Specialized Item Cleaning: If you have an item with sentimental value that has been affected by mold, consider allowing a professional team to handle it. Even if you’ve carefully wiped it down and used a product labeled as “mold removal spray,” there’s still a risk that mold spores could linger within the fibers.
  • HVAC System Contamination: You’ll need a mold removal specialist if mold growth or settled spores affect your HVAC system. Mold spreads through spores, so when it contaminates an HVAC system, the infestation can quickly escalate into a bigger and more severe problem, such as respiratory issues for occupants.
