Before disturbing a painted surface as in the case of popcorn ceiling removal or another asbestos abatement. 4.) If you rent or own a home built before 1978 or are buying or selling one. 5.)

If you believe that the heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) system might have mold contamination, do not run it. Contact ATH Restoration immediately for a professional assessment of the situation. Often, mold testing kits found in home improvement stores can be ineffective, inaccurate, or unnecessary if there is visible mold growth, avoid using them.

* CLICK THE QUESTION TO VIEW COMPLETE ANSWER * Follow these steps to be safe and to protect yourself and your property: Do not stay in the area while the smell of smoke is present. Smoke particles can stay in the air for days after a fire and need to be filtered by mask or HEPA filters. Do not attempt to clean items with soot on them. Soot will smear on walls and grind into fabrics if not properly treated. This sometimes causes more damage than the original fire. Clean metal surfaces (door knobs, cabinet handles, stainless steel appliances, etc.) as soon as possible to prevent the acids in soot from pitting them. Place clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery, and carpet traffic areas. If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator and prop doors open. When professional emergency remediation has been completed, further fire restoration services are necessary very quickly to return air filtration and air exhaustion/ventilation to a safe, odor-free state.

* CLICK THE QUESTION TO VIEW COMPLETE ANSWER * We begin with professional laboratory mold testing that determines things like the species of mold, any toxins it produces, where it’s concentrated, and if mold spores are airborne. When mold remediation is needed, we: - Stop the mold at its source by repairing the water problem. - Contain the area from the rest of the house to minimize contamination. - Demo and properly discard materials that cannot be recovered due to mold damage such as drywall, insulation, and carpet. - Pack out, clean, inventory, and store salvageable personal property. - Remove mold using antimicrobial cleaners. - Use HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) air scrubbers to clean the air. - Perform mold testing to ensure a restored healthy environment. - Rebuild or reconstruct affected areas.
