This ensures that the contaminated area is sealed off completely to prevent cross contamination before commencing the mold removal process. The amount of containment will vary depending on the level of mold and the working area.
    
5. When commencing the remediation process, our technicians wear full personal protective equipment (P.P.E.) which includes: full face respiratory protection, full body protective suit, shoe covers and gloves.

If Air Quality Testing or Mold Testing is required, we work with the best environmental companies in the industry. Any mold removal company that tests their own work creates a conflict. This is why we only use third party companies. Duct cleaning after mold removal is highly recommended. Although we use containments and negative air machines to remove the mold, there is a great possibility that mold has travelled through your venting system prior to our arrival.
