How we remediate mold in Lakewood Ranch

1. Inspect and take moisture readings to find the extent of the growth and the water feeding it.
2. Keep HEPA air scrubbers running and the work area under negative pressure.
3. Clean the remaining structure with HEPA vacuums and wipe-downs.
4. Dry what is left and show you the leak or humidity problem that caused it.
5. Document the work with photos for your records and your insurer.
