Mold remediation is taking action to reduce, isolate, or remove contamination from an environment with the goal of preventing further reproduction and spreading of contaminants. Simply stated, remediation is the process of clean up and disinfection.

The overall objective of the mold remediation process is quite simple: to remove all of the contamination. Mold is a microscopic life form found in all parts of the world and is part of the natural decomposition of organic materials.Mold requires three things to grow: nutrients, moisture, and time. The most common food source indoors is cellulose, which is found in wood and drywall.

Mold requires moisture to grow, which means buildings must be kept dry to prevent growth. Mold is spread by tiny particles called “spores” that become airborne and attach to skin, fur, clothing etc.

Remediation is structural and non-structural measures undertaken to limit the adverse impact of natural hazards, environmental degradation and technological hazards. In other words, help in reducing the cause of problem to prevent further damage.

Applying the appropriate solution will indeed kill mold, but as the mold is being treated (attacked) by the solution, the mold will sporulate (releasing millions of spores) in an attempt to survive. now the surrounding environment is really contaminated.

After killing the mold, the residual hyphae are still present on the surface. The mold may be killed, but the affected area still has to be cleaned (remediated). Mold remediators must remember that anti-molds/biocides are chemical or physical agents capable of killing or inactivating one or more groups of organisms.The end goal of a mold remediation project is to return the indoor environment to a clean, safe, livable condition: a condition 1 status. What this means in terms of mold contamination, is that the indoor environment, from a sampling basis, would be cleaner or has similar levels and types of mold that are comparable to the outdoor surrounding environment.

One of the goals of mold remediation and the Certified Industrial Hygienist’s sampling is to verify that the mold spore count inside containment is at a similar level, or less than, the spore count outdoors.
