Mold Remediation Jacksonville FL
Mold Remediation
Friends, here is a perfect example of what can go wrong when a water damage occurs and it is not handled properly. This picture was taken by Dry It FAST Restoration located in Jacksonville Fl. The team leader for Dry It FAST was called out to a commercial property that was located in a very popular strip center. The unit had been vacant for approximately 2 months.
During that period of time, the unit had experienced a water damage flood which occurred due to a malfunctioning flapper valve in the restroom of the unit next door.
The tenant with the broken toilet fixed the problem but had no idea that mostly all of the water from the loss, had run under the wall system and flooded the vacant unit next door. When this happened, all the carpet, particle board cabinets and sheetrock walls were exposed to at least 3 inches of water.
Over the next 2 months, Mold Growth occurred due to the wet environment, lack of air circulation and no de-humidification because all the power and AC systems were off.
Upon sampling the colonization it became evident that the materials affected now would have to be handled as a Mold Remediation job.
Dry It FAST provided containment to the area, sent of samples to the lab for analysis and then once protocol was set, they began the mold removal process. This process includes many steps and can be detailed when inhabited areas are involved. The normal protocol for mold removal follows this outline:
These are the typical steps needed for a mold removal application.
