Our Derby Mold Services Include:
Mold Inspection and Testing
Our certified inspectors will identify the extent of the contamination, locate the moisture source that’s feeding the growth, and determine the type of mold affecting your home. We use professional tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters to find hidden problems behind walls and under flooring, ensuring nothing is missed.
Black Mold Remediation
Toxic black mold requires specialized removal protocols to ensure safety. Our team follows strict containment procedures, uses HEPA filtration systems to clean the air, and safely removes all contaminated materials to protect your family’s health.
Attic Mold Treatment
Poor ventilation and Kansas humidity can often lead to attic mold. We have extensive experience removing contaminated insulation, treating all affected surfaces with antimicrobial solutions, and helping you address the underlying ventilation issues to prevent the problem from returning.
Basement Mold Abatement
Basements in our area are prone to moisture from foundation seepage and high humidity. Our comprehensive basement mold removal includes identifying the source of the water and providing recommendations for waterproofing and moisture control.
Crawl Space Mold Removal
Crawl spaces can create the perfect damp, dark environment for mold. We provide complete crawl space remediation, which can include installing a new vapor barrier and other moisture management solutions to keep the area dry.
Our Mold Remediation Process
Step 1: Free Inspection
We start by assessing your property to identify all affected areas, determine the level of contamination, and locate the moisture source causing the mold.
Step 2: Containment Setup
Our team establishes proper containment barriers to prevent any mold spores from spreading to clean areas of your home during the removal process.
Step 3: HEPA Air Filtration
Industrial-grade HEPA air scrubbers run continuously throughout the project, capturing airborne mold spores and ensuring your home’s air quality is clean.
Step 4: Safe Mold Removal
We carefully remove all mold-contaminated materials using industry-standard techniques and dispose of them safely and properly.
Step 5: Antimicrobial Treatment
All affected surfaces receive a professional antimicrobial treatment to kill any remaining mold spores and help prevent future growth.
Step 6: Moisture Control
We identify and help you address the moisture problem that caused the mold in the first place, whether it’s a plumbing leak, poor ventilation, or a foundation issue.
Step 7: Post Remediation Verification
We can perform final testing to ensure the mold has been successfully eliminated and confirm your home is safe for your family.
