The process
The mold remediation and removal process in New Bedford, MA
Inspect
The affected area is examined, moisture readings are taken, and the growth is traced to its source before a scope is documented.
Contain

Remove
Contaminated porous materials like drywall and insulation are removed and sealed for disposal; hard surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and treated.
Dry
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers restore the space to a safe moisture level, removing the conditions mold needs to grow.
