A team of professionals will develop a remediation plan detailing the protocol and scope of
remediation, which we will follow until clearance is achieved.

Personal and/or business belongings that can be cleaned and restored are itemized,
evaluated and removed in a manner which eliminates cross- and re-contamination.

Most mold requires very simple sources to grow and exist. It first requires some type of
moisture intrusion, or water condensation. If there has been a plumbing leak or roof leak,
there is a strong possibility that mold growth has already started. In many cases, it can
take only 24 hours for the process to begin. Just because the source of the moisture has
stopped, does not mean that the mold has stopped growing. Mold can survive a very long
time with out moisture, thus the need for remediation.

Mold also needs an organic source of food. People might be confused as mold can grow
on glass, tile, stainless steel, cookware, etc. but it is generally feeding off of some organic
source deposited on this material (oils, films, dirt, dust, skin cells, etc.). The fiberglass
insulation people like to say mold does not grow on their product, which is a fairly true
statement; however, it loves to grow on the organic debris that becomes trapped in their
product. Mold also loves to grow on things such as wood, fabric, leather, gypsum,
fiberboard, drywall, stucco, and many fibrous materials. All molds do require some form
of moisture to grow, however, like temperature, the amount of moisture varies for
different species.
