Mold Damage Remediation in Idaho Falls

Mold is a hardy plant adapted to life in all types of environments. Like most types of fungi, molds produce by spreading spores far and wide. These microscopic spores are everywhere and only need the smallest amount of moisture to spawn a thriving colony. These colonies can then produce more spores and the cycle continues.

Mold can be found anywhere the situation is suitable for a new colony. Most often, molds are found around vents, within the substructures of the home, near appliances that use water, in bathrooms, and anywhere else where spores are provided with suitable living conditions.

A mold presence can contribute to an unhealthy atmosphere in the home. Once old colonies are established across the home, they begin to deteriorate the materials where they live and fill the air with spores so that more colonies can grow. Combined with spores in the air, dust mites will soon be attracted to moldy conditions and the noxious atmosphere can affect health.

Headaches and respiratory conditions are some of the common health conditions caused by exposure to moldy environments. Molds can also deteriorate your property and the structures of your home. If the damage reaches a serious level extensive restoration services will be needed.

At HHE Idaho Falls, our mold remediation process works to restore residential, commercial, and industrial locations to their original conditions before the mold presence. Here are some of the steps in our process:

Inspection — the first thing we will do is test your location to ascertain the level of contamination. This way when we are finished you will have irrefutable proof that the mold threat has been mitigated.

Containment — the entire location will be sealed off with negative air chambers and physical barriers. This way the flighty little spores can be effectively collected and disposed of.

Air Filtration — HEPA filters are used extensively throughout the process. HEPA filters connected to the HVAC system and our HEPA-filtered vacuums will do much to reduce the contamination.

Restoration — there may be sections of your home that have become damaged by the mold presence. This could include portions or walls, ceilings, and floors. If the permeation has become deep, we will remove these portions of the home and replace them with new materials.
