Revolutionizing a Home Sale: Our Mold Remediation Success Story Unveiled

As the water damage remained hidden, it eventually turned into mold growth throughout the carpet, and it spread significantly. In fact, it had reached a point where the homeowners knew they would not be able to handle it on their own. For that reason, they called in Texas Certified Restoration for professional mold removal services. 

Professional Inspection by Texas Certified Restoration

Before Texas Certified Restoration could begin any work, they took the time to carefully inspect and assess the situation. This is a crucial step in determining the most effective mold removal plan. They used moisture meters to check different materials so that they could find other hidden damp spots. They also checked for mold in AC vents, insulation, and personal items. There were very high readings in the bathrooms.

Based on their inspection, they were able to conclude that the mold growth had spread beyond just the carpet near the water heater. It would include an extensive removal of carpet, padding, drywall, and more. It was also decided that Texas Certified Restoration would focus on the mold removal, and the homeowner would hire a contractor to restore the property after.

The Process for Carpet Mold Removal and Restoration

Throughout Texas Certified Restoration’s experience, they have worked on several mold removal projects. Therefore, they have had plenty of time to perfect their solutions, including: 

• Demolition
• Mold Remediation
• Prep for Reconstruction

Removal of Damaged Materials

The biggest hurdle in this process was removing all of the materials that had been damaged beyond repair. The mold growth was so severe that the contractors had to completely pull up the carpet. They even had to eliminate the padding and tack strip underneath. Beyond that, they had to remove some of the drywall and insulation. 

Since there was so much debris created in the process, Texas Certified Restoration had to hire an outside company to bring in a roll-away dumpster. They loaded it up with other materials, including personal items and the bathtub, which was installed back in the 60s. The toilet also had to be removed in the process so that the crew could get the tub out. 

Mold Remediation Treatment

After all of the damaged materials had been removed, the professionals started the mold remediation process. They sanitized and cleaned the remaining surfaces to remove any other spores. They also used a HEPA vacuum for safety to reduce the amount of mold spores in the air. 

Preparation for Contractors

The final step that Texas Certified Restoration was responsible for was prepping the area for a team of contractors. They made sure that all of the mold had been removed and that the house was ready to start reconstruction. By the time they were finished, the homeowner was ready to have the builders come in and get the home ready for the market.
