What remediation includes

1. Inspect and take moisture readings to find the extent of the growth and the water feeding it.
2. Set containment with plastic barriers so spores do not spread to clean rooms.
3. Keep HEPA air scrubbers running and the work area under negative pressure.
4. Cut out porous materials with growth instead of painting over them.
5. Photograph each stage so you and your insurer have a record.

What not to do with mold

• Stop the water source if you can do it safely.
