Mold Remediation
Fight mold NATURALLY! At Green Home Improvements, we follow the IICRC S520 Standard, focusing on eliminating moisture sources and removing heavily affected materials. We clean salvageable surfaces with HEPA vacuums, and for extra disinfection, we use Benefect's plant-based cleaning products in certain situations. HEPA air scrubbing takes care of airborne spores, and final testing makes sure you’re left with a healthy, mold-free environment. Breathe easy knowing Green Home Improvements prioritizes natural solutions for a safe and lasting mold removal process.
Restoring a mold-affected property to a "normal" state is the goal of the IICRC S520 Standard, considered the gold standard in mold removal. Here's the simple, chemical-free process involved, as implemented by Green Home Improvements:
Fix the Moisture Source: This crucial first step eliminates the root cause of moisture that allowed mold to flourish in the first place.
Isolate the Work Area: Contain the affected area to prevent further mold spread.
Remove Contaminated Materials: Heavily affected materials like drywall, insulation, and carpet padding are often beyond cleaning and need removal.
Clean Remaining Surfaces: Salvageable surfaces like wood, glass, metal, and concrete are cleaned using HEPA vacuums and thorough scrubbing. In certain situations, Green Home Improvements utilizes Benefect's botanical cleaning products for additional disinfection. These plant-based products effectively eliminate mold spores while being safe for people and pets, making them ideal for residential settings.

HEPA Air Scrubbing: HEPA filters are used to remove airborne mold spores from the affected area.
Microscopic Verification: Final air and surface samples are microscopically analyzed to confirm the absence of abnormal fungal levels, ensuring a successful mold remediation.
Our approach prioritizes addressing the root cause and removing the mold itself, creating a healthy environment without relying on harsh chemicals. Green Home Improvements' integration of Benefect's botanical cleaning products provides an additional layer of safety and effectiveness.
