The Importance of Containment in Mold Remediation
One of the significant steps in mold remediation is containment, which helps to prevent the spread of mold spores to unaffected areas. SERVPRO techs use different containment levels depending on the extent of the mold damage. We generally use the following three types of containment:
- Source containment: It involves isolating the immediate mold source using simple barriers like plastic sheeting. SERVPRO techs use this type of containment when the mold is confined to a small area to prevent mold spores from being airborne during the initial inspection or minor remediation efforts.
- Local containment: Techs use this containment when the microbial growth is more extensive but still limited to a specific area of your home. Teach might erect a temporary enclosure around the area using frames and 6-mil plastic sheeting. HEPA filters help create negative air pressure and ensure that no spores escape to the unaffected areas of your house.
- Full containment: We use such type of containment only in situations of severe or large-scale mold infestations. It involves creating a completely sealed environment with double layers of plastic sheeting and establishing airlock chambers for entry and exit.
SERVPRO techs adhere to the IICRC S520 guidelines when establishing these barriers to ensure that mold damage to your home is restored as efficiently as possible.
Monitoring During and After Containment
Throughout the remediation process, SERVPRO techs conduct visual checks to ensure the integrity of the containment and the barriers. Once the remediation is complete, techs also conduct a post-remediation inspection to ensure the mold level is back to the acceptable range.
