Services: Mold Remediation

United Services offers the highest level of care in the handling of mold-affected areas. Mold contamination can be a serious threat to human health and welfare (see the EPA website for more information about mold and indoor air quality). We contain these areas and ensure that the structure and all contents within the area are remediated to acceptable levels.

We're committed to returning your property to pre-loss condition as quickly as possible, and will work closely with you throughout the process to ensure your satisfaction.

Common steps of professional mold removal and remediation:

1. Source identification: The source of the moisture must be addressed before remediation can begin. United Services technicians identify moisture intrusion in residential and commercial structures through the utilization of moisture-detection equipment such as thermal imaging. Potential sources of moisture include flooding, leaky roofs, humidifiers, damp basements and crawl spaces, constant plumbing leaks, and clothes dryers that have been vented indoors.
2. Containment: Technicians isolate the area of contamination to eliminate the spread of mold spores to other areas of the property.
3. Filtration: HEPA air filters and negative air machines are run continuously throughout the project. Mold spores, dust, MVOCs, and other airborne debris are removed from the air.
4. Removal and cleanup: Contaminated materials are removed or remediated in accordance with mold remediation guidelines. In some instances, drywall, carpet, furniture, and/or other damaged materials may have to be replaced to prevent mold from returning.
5. Replacement: United Services reconstruction teams provide and install all the new building materials required to return affected areas of the property to their pre-loss condition.

For some mold remediation projects, United Services employs dry ice blasting technology. You can learn more here.
