Step 1: Emergency Contact
When you give Sparkle Cleaning a call, our expert will guide you through a series of questions to determine the perfect equipment, resources, and personnel needed to tackle your unique situation. Let's get started!
Step 3: Calculate the Extent of the Mold Contamination
It is imperative to ascertain the degree of mold contamination, as it may not be confined to a single area. The extent of the contamination will significantly impact the mold removal and clean-up approach. The primary objective of mold removal is to eliminate mold growth within the household and prevent homeowners from being exposed to excessive amounts of mold.
Step 5: Cleaning Contents and Belongings
We will clean your furniture, decorative items, curtains, clothing, and other restorable items affected by mold. A variety of cleaning techniques will be employed to sanitize your belongings, and we are also trained to remove odors and deodorize using fogging equipment and other methods.
Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
A thorough inspection of your property will be conducted to identify visible signs of mold. Since mold feeds on cellulose and water, it can often be hidden. We use advanced technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources to ensure a comprehensive assessment.
Step 4: Treatment and Remediation
The mold remediation process varies depending on the extent of mold growth and the surfaces affected. We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and help prevent new ones from forming.
