Mold Remediation
Fight mold NATURALLY! Green Home Improvements follows the IICRC S520 Standard, prioritizing moisture source elimination and removal of heavily affected materials. We clean salvageable surfaces with HEPA vacuums and, in specific situations, utilize Benefect's plant-based cleaning products for additional disinfection. HEPA air scrubbing removes airborne spores, and final testing ensures a healthy environment free of mold. 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 is the crucial first step. Eliminate the root cause of moisture that allowed the 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 products, derived from plant-based ingredients, effectively eliminate mold spores while remaining 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.
