Juvenaire established its mould remediation services in 2004 and has since developed specialist techniques and uses the latest technologies to successfully remove mould from affected properties.
Where there is moisture, there is potential for mould growth. If mould is found within a property, the cause is likely to be a source of moisture. It is important to ensure the correct steps are taken to remove the mould as it may also be hidden behind flooring or walls. This includes tracking and rectifying the moisture problem whether from a leak or storm damage.
Juvenaire technicians are trained to identify the source of moisture causing the mould growth. Once rectified, it is less likely that there would be a recurrence of mould.
Inspection
An on-site inspection is the most crucial step in identifying and determining the best plan of action for treatment. Although identifying visual mould is important, knowing the source of the mould is just as vital. Without identifying the moisture source, even the best removal and remediation methods can become ineffective as mould will eventually resurface if not treated accurately.
Technicians will track the moisture source and inspect suspected areas (such as behind walls and flooring) to formulate the most effective remediation processes.
The Remediation Plan
A mould remediation plan usually includes:
- Identification and correction of mould growth conditions such as moisture and humidity
- the use of appropriate personal protective equipment by technicians
- Using speciality equipment to remove airborne mould spores
- Setting up containment to enclose affected areas to stop the mould from spreading to clean areas
- Steps to safely and effectively remove mould affected building materials and contents
- Pack-outs (if required), restoration of affected contents and its secure storage
- Final cleaning, decontamination, drying and clearance testing.
The remediation plan can vary greatly depending on the size and complexity of the job.
Mould Sampling
As a part of Juvenaire’s mould removal services, we collect and test mould samples to:
- Ascertain the true extent of mould contamination
- Species identification to determine the toxicity and health risks to humans
- Post remediation clearance testing for quality control
Final Clearance Testing
Several air and surface samples are taken in the remediated area for testing. Juvenaire’s team of air quality specialists carry out all the appropriate microbial testing. Some mould samples are sent to an independent laboratory for further testing to verify safe mould ecology post remediation.
