Removing Mold Contamination

There are various mold removal methods, and each depends on the affected material. Nonporous material can usually be cleaned. Porous items that show signs of visible mold growth often need to be removed. The remediation process can include:

• Porous material – If fabrics, drywall, carpeting, or insulation have active mold growth; it is usually removed.
• Nonporous material – Glass, metals, and plastics are examples of nonporous material. HEPA vacuuming is used if the surface is dry. If the mold is growing in a layer of soils, damp wiping with a detergent solution can be utilized.
• Semiporous materials – Wood and concrete fall into this category. Damp wiping, wire brushing, and other abrasive methods often get used to clean the affected areas.

Mold Spores

Mold spores are everywhere. It is when they get exposed to moisture for an extended amount of time that the problems transpire. Settled spores can be removed by HEPA vacuuming and damp wiping even on porous material, inhibiting further spread.

Moisture Removal

Since moisture is required for mold and mildew to spread, it is vital to dry the impacted area. Because air movers are often used in the drying process and can spread mold spores, this step may be postponed until containment and mold removal gets completed.  Removing damaged materials speeds up the drying process, and certain dehumidifiers can be used. 

Mold can cause health effects for your employees and customers. Minor water intrusions can cause infestations. If you suspect you need to look at mold removal companies, do so immediately. The more time needed for cleaning, the longer your restaurant is closed. This means lost revenue.
