Commercial Mold Remediation

INX Indoor Air Quality

We have been proudly servicing Commercial & Municipal clients including hospitals, colleges, universities, school districts, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, hotels, nursing homes, and restaurants for over 20 years. During that time we have successfully remediated mold issues in thousands of buildings with the main goal of helping our customers and their clients breathe easy.

Schools, Colleges and Universities have been calling INX for over two decades to help them remediate mold in many areas of their facilities. We have successfully remediated mold in classrooms, libraries, auditoriums, dorm rooms, hotel rooms and many other areas within these buildings. We understand that mold is a delicate subject and the importance of effectively fixing a mold issue without causing alarm to students, faculty, employees or customers is of utmost importance.

The first and most important step within our proven mold remediation process is containment construction.

The purpose of the containment is to seal off the remediation area under negative pressure to minimize the potential for cross contamination to clean areas during the remediation process. These containments also double as a barrier from anyone who might still be working or operating within your building. We typically use opaque heavy plastic and temporary wood framing to construct these units so that anyone who is passing won’t be distracted by our operation or equipment. A HEPA (High efficiency Particulate Air) Air Scrubber is placed inside the containment and exhausts out to create a negative pressure differential in the containment. Our trained Mold Technicians have worked hundreds of jobs in the history of our operation under these circumstances and are familiar with the importance of being unnoticed.

Some of our happy customers include:

A common misconception about commercial remediation, should an indoor air quality issue arise, is that a facility or building must be closed down to remedy the problem. While this is true in some extreme cases, we understand that this is not realistic and operations must continue. INX Indoor Air Quality has been proud to service its commercial customers to help them breathe easier without impacting the current operations of their business.

The 1st step is always assessment.

Don’t guess, get someone who really knows what they’re doing from initial inspection through the final remediation process. With thousands of successful remediation jobs completed, we have seen it all and are confident that we can help you with your issue and can assist you in improving your indoor air quality quickly and effectively.

If this is the case, we can help by following our Seven C’s to effective Mold Remediation – Containment, Contents, Cutting, Cleaning, Coatings, Clearance & Closing!

Containment Construction

The purpose of the containment is to seal off the remediation area under negative pressure to minimize the potential for cross contamination to clean areas during the remediation process. A HEPA (High efficiency Particulate Air) Air Scrubber is placed inside containment and exhausts out of the containment to create a negative pressure differential in the containment.

Containment Construction

Contents Cleaning and Protection

If contents are not impacted, it can be simply removed from the mold remediation area or relocated away from the work area and sealed with heavy plastic during the remediation process. If contents are impacted (has mold growth or may have mold spore deposits), it should be cleaned or sealed in plastic for future cleaning.

Contents Cleaning or Protection

Cutting & Demolition

During this phase of remediation, all contaminated building materials are removed and discarded. Some building materials which are not directly impacted may need to be removed to access hidden areas or voids for cleaning and/or remediation. After cutting, removal of all contaminated wall coverings, drywall, insulation and finish molding, carpeting, padding etc. and any other building materials is required.

Cutting & Demolition

Cleaning

All remaining surfaces are first HEPA vacuumed to remove bulk mold growth and mold spore deposits. All surfaces are then disinfected and wet wiped removing the residual mold, then HEPA vacuumed a second time. Any deep-rooted mold in wood structure may need to be abraded by wire brushing, sanding, blasting, or other means, then HEPA vacuumed and disinfected.

Cleaning

Coating

Utilize an airless paint sprayer to coat remediated structural members with an anti-microbial or mold-proof coating. This coating is typically white or clear. Its purpose is to seal up any structural joints or crevices that cannot be thoroughly accessed for cleaning.

Coating

Clearance Testing

After cleaning of remediated surfaces is complete, all surfaces in the containment are HEPA vacuumed, wet wiped with disinfectant and HEPA vacuumed a final time to prepare area for inspection or Clearance testing.

Clearance Testing

Closing Report

The final step is the Closing Report and Documentation. Upon completion of every project, a closing report including before and after pictures, scope of work, test results, Product Data sheets, digital photos, and any future recommendations is provided.

FAQ

What is Commercial Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation refers to anything involving in the process of removing mold from an indoor environment. This includes everything from mold inspection and mold testing to mold removal, materials cleaning and restoration, and mold prevention. Mold remediation can be done in both residential and commercial properties, but naturally, commercial mold remediation only refers to projects that take place in commercial buildings.

When Should I Seek Out Commercial Mold Remediation Services?

Mold growth can cause a number of problems for commercial properties and their owners. Not only can mold cause extensive mold damage that can require increasingly costly repairs, but exposure to mold also comes with a number of health risks that can negatively affect anyone who spends time at the property. The more time the mold has to grow and spread, the worse these problems will get, so it is important to seek help from a professional mold remediation company as soon as you have the slightest suspicion that mold may be growing.

How Do I Know if My Business or Commercial Property Has a Mold Problem?

There are a variety of things you can look for to determine if your commercial property has a mold problem, the first of which is an unpleasant, musty, or rotten smell coming from the area of impact. If you smell a lingering odor similar to that of a wet towel, it could be an early sign that mold is present somewhere in your commercial building. There are also plenty of visual signs to look out for. Mold appears in a variety of colors, including black, brown, green, white, and orange, so if you notice any discolored, slimy, or fuzzy-looking surfaces around your property, mold is undoubtedly to blame.

How Do Mold Infestations Start?

Mold thrives in dark, damp, and humid environments with plenty of porous materials like wood, drywall, and ceiling tiles to take root in. Mold infestations can start pretty much anywhere where these conditions are met, so if there is a part of your commercial property that has problems with excess moisture or high humidity, it is only a matter of time before mold starts growing.

How Can I Prevent Mold From Growing?

Preventing mold from becoming a problem is all about better managing excess moisture and high humidity, and there are a number of ways you can do this. Fixing leaky pipes, waterproofing areas prone to water intrusion, using dehumidifiers, and improving ventilation by opening windows and running HVAC systems are all effective ways to reduce moisture and humidity levels to a point where mold simply unable to grow.

Are Mold Remediation Projects Expensive?

While the biggest mold remediation projects can be prohibitively expensive, the price you pay is ultimately dependent on how severe of a mold infestation you are dealing with. If you are lucky enough to catch the problem before in its early stages, it may only cost a few hundred dollars to remove, but if the mold problem has gotten out of hand and spread throughout the entire property, you will be due for a much more expensive bill.

How Long Does Mold Remediation Take?

The amount of time required to complete a mold remediation project is largely dependent on the severity of the issue. While smaller mold problems may only take a day or two to get rid of larger ones that require much more time and resources can easily take up to a week to complete.

What Does the Mold Remediation Process Look Like?

All mold remediation projects start with comprehensive mold inspections that include both mold testing and visual inspection. Once we identify the problem area, our team here at INX Indoor Air Quality follows our proven 7 C’s mold removal process which guarantees the highest level of success every time. The steps to this process include containment construction, contents cleaning and protection, cutting and demolition, cleaning, coating, clearance testing, and creating a closing report.

Do I Need to Hire a Professional Mold Removal Company, or Can I Deal With the Problem Myself?

While there is no shortage of home DIY projects that are simple enough for most homeowners to take on themselves, mold remediation is not one of them. The mold remediation process is complex, and each step requires flawless execution in order to be successful.
