Mold Abatement & Asbestos Surveys

Mold Abatement

The process of removing mold from your home and preventing it from coming back.

If left untreated, it can cause health issues and structural damage.

Mold can grow in:

  • Bathrooms

  • Basements

  • Areas with leaks

How?

  • Leaks

  • Floods

  • High Humidity

Steps to Mold Abatement:

If you spot mold, acting quickly can protect your home and health from further damage!

  1. Identify the Source – Find and fix the moisture problem (leak, flood, or humidity) that is causing mold growth.

  2. Contain the Area – Seal off the affected space with plastic sheeting and use negative air pressure to prevent mold spores from spreading.

  3. Remove Mold-Infested Materials – Dispose of heavily damaged drywall, insulation, carpets, or other porous materials that can’t be salvaged.

  4. Clean and Disinfect – Use specialized cleaning agents and HEPA vacuums to remove mold from surfaces and air.

  5. Dry the Area Completely – Use fans, dehumidifiers, and ventilation to ensure all moisture is eliminated.

  6. Prevent Future Growth – Improve ventilation, repair leaks, and use mold-resistant materials to keep mold from coming back.

Asbestos Surveys

An inspection that checks if your home has asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), which were commonly used in older buildings.

Why?

If disturbed during renovations or damage, asbestos fibers can become airborne and pose serious health risks, so a survey helps determine if removal or containment is needed to keep your home safe.

Steps to the Process:

  1. Inspection – A certified inspector examines your home for asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), commonly found in insulation, tiles, roofing, and old drywall.

  2. Sample Collection – Small samples of suspected materials are carefully taken and sent to a lab for testing.

  3. Lab Testing – Samples are analyzed under a microscope to confirm if asbestos is present and in what quantity.

  4. Risk Assessment – The inspector determines whether the asbestos is stable (safe if undisturbed) or hazardous (requires removal or sealing).

  5. Report & Recommendations – A detailed report outlines which materials contain asbestos and whether they should be left alone, sealed, or removed.

  6. Next Steps (Abatement if Needed) – If removal is necessary, professionals use proper safety measures to safely remove or encapsulate asbestos to prevent exposure.

If your home was built before the 1980s and you’re planning renovations, an asbestos survey ensures you and your family stay safe!
