We start with an assessment to understand where the moisture came from and how far the damage has spread. That means checking behind and under affected materials, not just what's visible on the surface, and asking about the history of the leak or storm that caused it.
Once we know the scope, we treat the mold with our patented VaPURE treatment, a two-step process. The first step applies a sterilant as a fine vapor that reaches surfaces and the air throughout the space. The active component of the sterilant is on the EPA's Safer Chemical Ingredients List, and it breaks down into acetic acid (white vinegar), oxygen, and water shortly after treatment. The second step applies an antimicrobial protectant that bonds to treated surfaces and helps resist regrowth once the moisture cause is fixed.
From there, we restore the mold-affected materials and spaces as part of the remediation, whether that means replacing a section of drywall, treating and drying affected framing, or addressing damaged trim and flooring. Because VaPURE treatment works as a vapor, it often means little to no demolition compared to traditional remediation methods, since we're not tearing everything out to get treatment where it needs to go.
We document the damage with photos and notes as we go, both for your own records and for any insurance claim you may be filing. If you're working with an adjuster, we can provide details about the treatment process and the materials involved.
We keep you posted throughout the project, so you're not left wondering how things are progressing when the affected area is somewhere you can't easily check yourself, like a wall cavity or a crawl space.
Our work covers mold remediation and restoring the spaces mold has affected. For repairs beyond that, like structural work or a full rebuild, we'll point you toward the right contractor and coordinate with them on timing so the mold work doesn't hold up the rest of the job.
