Mold can become a big problem relatively quickly when it invades your home or business. Efforts made on your behalf to rid your environment of mold, often end up making the problem worse, due to improper cleaning and disposal techniques. If you have found mold in your home, or suspect mold may be present, calling in a professional to handle the remediation is your best option to eradicate it from your environment. T.A.C.T. of Middle Tennessee are experienced mold remediation experts. This is our typical process for mold clean up:
- Inspection and Testing
We begin by evaluating the extent of your mold problem using professional equipment and an independent, third-party laboratory to confirm the type of mold you have growing. This allows us to accurately identify the mold species and assess concentration levels within your environment. - Containment
Following stringent industry guidelines, we isolate the affected area to prevent mold spores from spreading to other parts of your property. Our containment protocols include the use of negative air pressure and specialized barriers to protect unaffected areas. - Removal of Contaminated Materials
Mold-infested materials—like drywall, insulation, and carpeting—are carefully contained and disposed of, following EPA and CDC regulations. This step is crucial for eliminating active mold colonies at their source. - Thorough Cleaning and Disinfection
We employ HEPA vacuums and eco-friendly, pet-safe chemicals to cleanse all affected surfaces. By targeting both visible mold and microscopic spores, we reduce the chance of a recurring infestation. - Drying and Dehumidification
Using commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers, we ensure every impacted space is thoroughly dried. Controlling moisture levels is essential for stopping new mold colonies from forming. - Air Purification
Our team deploys advanced HEPA filtration equipment to remove airborne mold spores. This step is especially important if anyone in the household is experiencing mold-related health issues. - Moisture Control Solutions
We work with you to address any underlying humidity or structural concerns. This can include repairing leaks, upgrading ventilation systems, or adding dehumidifiers—and in some cases installing French drains to keep crawlspaces from flooding. - Post-Remediation Testing
Once the cleanup is complete, we conduct additional testing to confirm that mold levels have been effectively reduced. Your peace of mind is our top priority.
