How Mold Contaminates Your Air

Mold colonies are living organisms. To reproduce, they release two things into the air:

Mold Spores: These are microscopic "seeds" that travel through the air. They are the primary cause of allergic reactions—sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, and asthma attacks.
MVOCs (Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds): This is the "musty smell." These are gases released by the mold. They can cause headaches, nausea, and fatigue.When your HVAC system kicks on, it can suck these spores and MVOCs from the basement or a wall cavity and distribute them to every room in your house.

Our Remediation Process: Restoring Your Air Quality

This is why you can't just spray mold with bleach. That only releases more spores. Our professional process is designed to protect your air.

Step 1: Containment: We build a "bubble" around the mold. We use plastic sheeting and create "negative air pressure" with specialized fans, so all air is vented outside your home, not into it.
Step 2: Safe Removal: We safely remove all mold-infested porous materials (like drywall) in sealed bags.
Step 3: HEPA Air Scrubbing: This is the most important step for your air quality. We run industrial-grade "air scrubbers" equipped with HEPA filters. These machines draw in the contaminated air, capture 99.97% of all microscopic spores, and exhaust clean air.
Step 4: Final Cleaning: We HEPA-vacuum all remaining surfaces and wipe them down with an EPA-registered antimicrobial agent.
Step 5: Fix the Source: We find and fix the water leak or humidity issue that caused the mold in the first place.
