At Hogan Environmental Cleaning, we understand that mold growth in your home or business can be more than just a nuisance—it can pose serious health risks and cause extensive property damage. Our professional mold remediation services are designed to effectively eliminate mold and prevent future outbreaks, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for you and your loved ones.

Mold Remediation Process

Our mold remediation services include to safely identify, remove and sanitize mold affected areas in commercial and residential properties.

  • Inspection and Assessment
    Our certified mold remediation specialists begin with a thorough inspection of your property. We use advanced technology, including moisture meters and infrared cameras, to identify hidden mold growth and assess the extent of contamination. This detailed assessment helps us develop a targeted remediation plan tailored to your specific needs.

  • Containment and Removal
    To prevent the spread of mold spores to unaffected areas, we establish containment barriers using plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems. This isolation ensures that mold remains confined to the contaminated area during the remediation process. Our team employs specialized equipment and techniques to safely remove mold-infested materials, including HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers to capture and filter out mold spores. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we may also remove and dispose of contaminated drywall, insulation, carpeting, and other materials.

  • Cleaning and Disinfection
    After the removal of contaminated materials, we thoroughly clean and disinfect all affected surfaces. We use EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to eliminate any remaining mold spores and prevent future growth. This step ensures that your property is not only mold-free but also safe for reoccupation.

  • Drying and Dehumidification
    Since mold thrives in moist environments, we address the underlying moisture issues that contributed to mold growth. Our high-efficiency dehumidifiers and air movers reduce humidity levels and promote rapid drying, helping to prevent recurrence.

  • Restoration
    Once the mold remediation process is complete, we restore your property to its pre-mold condition. This can involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and insulation, as well as more extensive reconstruction work if necessary.

  • Post-Remediation Verification
    To ensure the success of our remediation efforts, we conduct a final inspection and air quality testing. Our goal is to confirm that mold levels are safe and that your property is free from mold contamination. We provide you with a detailed report documenting our findings and the steps taken during the remediation process.

Mold Exposure FAQs

  • You have recurring mold problems despite previous cleanup efforts.
  • There is significant water damage or moisture issues contributing to mold growth.
