Tracking and Eliminating Harmful Hidden Mold
Many homeowners can recognize the severe threat that mold and microbial growth pose to their residences and families, so they do what they can to minimize the risks. However, spores naturally exist in nearly every open space of your home. When the appropriate moist conditions occur to promote colonization, this can begin even in hidden cavities of your property's construction. So, how do you fight what you can't see?
To understand your need for mold removal in your Green Hills residence, you must be attuned to home and family changes that point to a problem. For example, you might find that certain rooms in the structure now have a dominant earthy odor you had not experienced. Allergy symptoms might be worsening for those most susceptible in your home. Typically, if something seems amiss in your household, trust your instincts.
Advanced Technology to Find and Confirm Mold
As a leading mold remediation team in our region, Lightspeed Restoration of West Nashville has several industry-leading devices and tools that can help pinpoint the presence of mold and confirm your suspicions. Hygrometers and moisture meters are at the top of this list, as they can track moisture levels in the residence for changes significant enough to support mold colonies. Air quality testing and grab tests from suspected surfaces also help to confirm the presence or the impending possibility of mold threats.
Precise Mold Removal Approaches
After detecting and narrowing the locations where active colonization occurs, we set our sights on delivering a focused remediation solution to restore your residence. Some of the key phases of this process include:
-
Containment—Negative air machines create a vacuum, preventing mold spore movement. Temporary barriers with polypropylene sheeting provide a physical perimeter to contain the affected zone.
-
Filtering and Air Quality Improvement – HEPA filtering air scrubbers clear the environment of circulating spores and other contaminants threatening air quality.
-
Controlled Demolition – Drywall, insulation, and carpeting might require removal. We bag and seal these contaminated components to avoid spreading the organisms elsewhere in the house during removal.
-
Drying – Air movers and dehumidifiers work in the affected spaces to reduce and remove excessive humidity or wetness.
-
Reconstruction – What was removed gets replaced, from new drywall with a matching finish to more complex build-back needs.
